“£12-15 million, that’s ludicrous” – Coventry City fan pundit makes Luis Binks transfer claim
Luis Binks would be a good permanent signing for Coventry City this summer, but only on a cheap deal as a third-choice centre-back
The signing of Luis Binks from Bologna in the summer has not gone as expected, despite the defender showing his talents at times at Coventry City this season.
While the English defender came through the academy at Tottenham Hotspur, he moved abroad to Bologna in the summer of 2020, although he struggled for game time at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
Because of this, he has spent time out on loan, including a move in the summer to Championship side Coventry, who are currently chasing a top six finish following their play-off final loss to Luton Town last season.
However, he has struggled for game time at the Coventry Building Society Stadium, which has cast doubt over whether the club should sign him on a permanent deal when his loan deal ends.
Binks would be a good signing but not at the price reported
FLW’s Coventry City fan pundit Neil Littlewood thinks that on-loan defender Binks would be a good signing as third choice defender at the club, but for not the price his parent club are reportedly asking for.
He said: “Binks is a bit of a strange one because you can see he’s got all the talent to be a competent Championship defender if not lower Premier League.
“He’s very steady on the ball, very tidy. He doesn’t shy away from getting the ball, and he’s not scared about getting stuck in. He’ll throw himself about a little bit. He hasn’t got the game time I would have expected, but Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching have been phenomenal, so that’s why that hasn’t happened.
