Boothroyd Playing It Coy With Thomas & Laurent
City boss on duo Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd is being cagey about signing keeper Lawrence Thomas and winger Francis Laurent. Boothroyd is still desperate to find another goal keeper after Colin Doyle was returned to Birmingham City and has looked a a few during the summer, one of whom was the Australian teenager Lawrence Thomas. Boothroyd also had a good look at the French winger Francis Laurent. “I know where I am with both players,” said Boothroyd to the CT. “I want to bring them in but there are other fish to fry and I’ve just got to balance it out with they guys who are here at the moment. I don’t want to bring in players that would push us over the edge. I want to stick with the budget that we set out." “That’s why I’m being a bit cagey. I’ve got people ringing me up all the time about players and that’s with two and a half weeks to go to the transfer deadline, give it a few more days it will be madness. I’ll have to change my number." “There are a couple I’m keen on and we’ve had interest in a couple of ours. At the moment I’m reluctant to let anybody go but at some point I might have to in order to balance the books and perhaps get more players in loan wise." "It might have to happen in January but at the moment we’re OK, we’re set where we are.”
