Coventry can't afford much in a fee. Surely we could get 2m for Vic

Doesn't add up and also Coventry is a shit hole

Such a so far out there rumour, that I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
That or he's visiting Jukebox.

I think Vic knows that if he works hard and performs, he'll get quite a bit of playing time. There's no way he'd join Coventry.

I can't get the link to open btw.

Everton player at Ricoh on Saturday

Coventry City are believed to have spoken to Everton's Victor Anichebe. The Nigerian internatiional who has made 76 appearances for Everton scoring seven goals, was, it is understood, at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday for the game against West Brom as a guest of City Chairman Ray Ranson. Anichebe, who was born in Lagos, can play as a centre forward or on the right side of midfield

Is this true?

Due back next week?

Jack Rodwell and Victor Anichebe are both set to make their returns from long term injuries for the reserves as they face Blackpool at Finch Farm this afternoon (Wednesday 3 November, 1:30pm). Rodwell, 19, has not played since picking up an ankle injury in the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at the end of August. The England U-21 midfielder was an unused substitute against Stoke at the weekend, and will line-up in the centre of midfield alongside James Wallace.

It has been even longer since Victor Anichebe's last first team appearance, the striker hasn't featured since being substituted in the final game of last season against Portsmouth. Anichebe has had surgery on a troublesome knee injury and will step up his rehab from the bench against the Seasdiders.

Jermaine Beckford also starts at Finch Farm, the former Leeds man is paired with French U-21 international Magaye Gueye up-front.

Shane Duffy, Shkodran Mustafi and Jose Baxter have all featured on the first team bench in recent weeks and start for Alan Stubbs' side this afternoon.

Team: Davies - Browning, Duffy, Mustafi, Garbutt - Craig, Rodwell, Wallace, Baxter - Beckford, Gueye
Subs: Roberts, Anichebe, Agard, Bidwell, Akpan
