Confirmed Signing Conor Coady

[jerseytoffee]

Can't see this one, improves us though without a doubt

Can only play in a 3 though, but good on the ball

 

[JLW]

I don’t think this will happen.

If was going to say throw Holgate at them then I realised they would not even pick up the phone anymore

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Maybe the thinking is that if Coady and Tarkowski are pinging them out from the back we don't need any of our midfielders to be able to pass.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Would love this tbh.

Coady, Tarkowski and Mina and we go from having a back line scared of their own shadows to one that will scrap and be a nightmare for opposition to play against.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Objectively he is a good defender and would make us more solid. A regular in England squads and a goal threat.

kopite swerve

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Funny feeling this one has got legs. Fits the profile of signings whose value makes them attainable because their contracts are running down and/or they’re surplus to requirements, and it’s in a position where Lampard must absolutely detest every incumbent player by now.

My concern with it is that he’s well/only suited to playing in a 3 which would kind of cement that as our system, for all Frank’s talk of flexibility.

 

[Houghty19]

Massive kopite but can we afford to apply this as a reason to not sign him? Not sure but would improve us at the back.

 

[4737carlin]

Overloaded at the back. Can’t see the point unless someone is going out

Are we though? Mina is never fit, Godfrey is plop and can't be trusted there, I wouldn't say we're overloaded at the back at all, if anything we need more protection

 

[blue to the bone]

 

[GoldenToffee]

Only sign if we can sell both Keane and Holgate. We don't need 7 CB on the books.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Of course, we desperately need a striker, but if we're back three, we still look suspect there.

If we're playing a back three, we probably do need another in.

Tarkowski
Keane
Godfrey
Holgate
Mina

Not convinced Holgate is good enough/linked with a move away.
Mina - may as well ignore him with his fitness. We also need a settled defence, and he's counting down in his final year for a move.

So for me, we have 3 centre halfs at the club in Tarkowski, Keane and Godfrey

A loan for Conor Coady would be ideal - he'd start for us.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

We need that kopite rat Coady like we need Ross Barkley back. Would absolutely gift them a few in the Derby and can’t play in a back 4. Massive swerve.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Only sign if we can sell both Keane and Holgate. We don't need 7 CB on the books.

There's also only so many players we can actually register in our squad. We desperately need players out the door if we are planning to bring in a bunch of players.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

No, thanks another 29 year old plus hes a red -

So was Peter Reid. So was Gary Ablett. So was Dave Watson. So was Alan Harper. All sweat blood for the Blue shirt and helped us win trophies.
