City await buy back bid

Coventry City boss Chris Coleman has confirmed he wants to sign Gary McSheffrey back from Birmingham City in January.

Reports had claimed a swap deal involving nippy Sky Blues wide man Jay Tabb could be on the cards, but Alex McLeish had previously said there had been no contact between the clubs.

McSheffrey has played only a handful of matches this season because of injury and last featured for the Blues first team in the home defeat to Blackpool in September.
