Confirmed Signing Conor Coady

[peteblue]

It’s dead weird that those making decisions may actually know how to build a football team.

We lack character, leadership and lads who are fit every game.

Let’s sign lads who have character, leadership and play almost every game.

I refuse to hope, you’ve hurt me before Everton, you bad tease.

It’s a nice feeling isn’t it…..

Excited for this signing. I think he will do well with Tarkowski. About time we have some more leaders in the club.

Don't say that the 27 year campaign will try another way to attention seek

Pleased with this signing. Think Lampard correctly identified we needed stronger characters. Coady and Tarkowski are the types of players we need to give us more steel.

Good business. A good character next to Tarkowski. Now if only Mina hadn’t have done his ligaments we’d have had three proper defenders at the back all taking responsibility. Hopefully Holgate can slot in and be guided by the other two.

Thought Holgate actually did well Saturday, and had a reasonable end to last season. I think those 2 lads may help keep him becoming too over confident.

Welcome Conor Coady

Defence will be better without doubt

Well done Everton

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Still in the England picture Let's hope he plays like he wants to go to the World Cup.

It’s not his overconfidence that’s the issue, it’s his stupidity…..

Can't see Pickford chewing these two out the way he does the others

I wonder if one contributes to the other.

The best central defenders remain very focussed and avoid complacency.

Southgate will still pick Maguire and Mings over him, up to Conor and Tarks to change his mind in the next 3 months

Lampard does seem to be a good motivator. Add Iwobi to Holgate as another player who's had a resurgence under him.

As I said in the McNeil thread, we've tried signing deluxe players over the past few years and we've looked awful.
Perhaps signing a few no frills players who'll get stuck in, graft and fight in adversity at the core is what we need . It served Moyes well.

With Onana and Gueye seemingly nearly across the line, if we make an astute signing in the forward position then my optimism for the season will increase a fair bit*



*until Coutinho puts them 1-0 up 90+7

If only bloody mina didn't get his usual injury, him Tarkowski and coady looks and sounds the best we've had in donkeys

My thoughts exactly!
