Confirmed Signing Conor Coady

[Dixie1sixty]

On a season long loan this makes perfect sense. We'd have two, experienced leaders at the back who are both. competent in the air with him and JT and it would mean that we wouldn't crumble when Yerry inevitably gets injured.

I understand it, but this is the first move in the Thelwell era that doesn't make much commercial sense to me.

Older and contracted to 2025. No doubt he improves us, but if we are paying £15m+, then I'm not sure about it.

Tarkowski works because of no transfer fee and we were desperate for a leader. But the Coady deal feels like overkill.

The only way it makes sense to me is if we already have a deal in place for Keane.

Anyway, it's not the worst problem to have. A leader and player that improves us coming into the side. It's the commercial not the on-field that gives me doubts.

Christ I hope so, I can’t take another season of his brainfarts

Could we go back to the old 4-2-3-1? Back 4 with coady and tark. Two proper center backs. Dele and Iwobi could both thrive in that 10 role with Onana and Gueye as a top defensive mid duo.

He's literally available because Wolves want to play 4 at the back and he can't do it.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Really excited aboot this one.

Finally getting the personnel to play 3 at the back without Holgate or Keane lost at sea.

It’s fine to bash Holgate but not Keane though.

Honestly the sooner Keane Coleman Davies Gomes are nowhere near the squad the better for everyone at Everton. If Coady is a step closer to that happening then welcome Connor.

If we’re playing 3 at the back then Coady would be a great signing. He’s one of the best in the league in that set up.

No way we should touch him if the plan is to play a 4.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Wasn't he in the England squad last season?

Mina Tarkowski Coady
Onana gana
That's light years ahead of what we had last year as a spine to the team

Semantics, but Wolves fans reckon he's only a good player when played in the middle of a back 3. With Mina's injury issues Godfrey adding some recovery pace and playing on the same side as Patterson would go down nicely, with Tarky on the left side.

I still don't want the Kopite tit but I can't deny he's a good defender in a back 3.

Very crap

 

[barneygumble]

If he comes in, leave all this nonsense about him being a red behind.

Solid professional, worked hard to get where he has and has a drive to make the World Cup squad.

Solid signing if true. Instantly improves the defence, and no, it won’t be like Ashley Williams.

Shrewd... If you can't see it you're a sweaty merkin.

gordon and deli alli are / were reds

its not that deep

 

[Baggzio]

I must say Lampard in 6 months has done something that no other manager has done here, that the fans have said for years. He’s recognised that this team cannot have Keane or Holgate in it regularly.

Ancelotti is the only manager if I remember right that actually got them playing well, then again the no crowds would’ve made a huge difference too. We can see though that after Lampard saw last season and wants to bring in 2 experienced leaders it says enough that he knows where we’re lacking.

I think Holgate could be a fine squad player as a defender honestly, not sure he’d want to do that at this point of his career though.

Don’t think you’re the problem mate.

But I keep seeing “Swerve that Kopite” etc all over socials.

Cheers, didn’t know that
