Confirmed Signing Conor Coady

[dinverro]

Decent player and can pass too.

 

[PeregrineT]

Is he good? No. Is he much better than Holgate? Absolutely. To not have to see Holgate this season Id be all in on this.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Keane and Holgate say Hi ?

Anyway, you're entitled to that opinion.

The point isn't that he's not better the point is we'll have too "reliable" CBs (in quotes because neither have played for us yet and imo aren't indisputably top class) who will both need to likely be replaced in the next 3 to 4 years. With Mina, Holgate and Keane all likely to leave you'll be chasing CB depth and quality every summer. It's not a good plan.

 

[PhilM]

Lives 15 mins from finch farm apparently.
So I'm sure he'd jump at the move

Isn't it more likely his family live that close as I'd be surprised if he lived an hour and a half away from Wolves training ground. That's a big commute each day.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I thought it was a sensible loan move in any case but now I see @davek ‘s pee on a rolling boil I am all in. Welcome, CC.

 

[ToffeeScot]

I despise him. [Poor language removed].

I`d have thought somewhere like Sandbach would be more realistic, as that stretch of the M6 is a total nightmare.

I don’t disagree with this, but our CBs are a uniquely useless bunch. A patchwork loan while we work on some background options for Jan/next summer makes a lot of sense.

I highly doubt - Tarkowski aside, now - there’s a single option that Lampard feels comfortable with. Holgate is objectively crap, Keane is a massive confidence player on a very low ebb, Godfrey is inconsistent and positionally indisciplined, and Mina just can’t stay fit.

As it stands, assuming 3 CBs, it’s JT and 2 question marks. If we can bring in another reliable, if unspectacular option for a season we cut that uncertainty in half, might help us get something resembling a tune out of Keane/Godfrey and saves our cash to splash on big, sexy DMs that Moyes scouted for us.

Rumour has it he’s gutted with this mate.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

B&M Carragher... Sign him up

 

[BluePaul86]

Moved into Upton Rocks area of Widnes about 2 months ago. If I see him gardening again I'll ask him nicely instead of humming spirit of the blues by him.

Loans are always fine with me.

And I have it down as 3 question marks. Tarkowski has not played a real game for us.

 

[Lanolin]

Williams 32 years old when signed
Coady 29 years old

Great example.

I'm not sure that's really relevant in the context of the point being made.

Well I'll leave it to someone who actually works in the industry as opposed to a couple of idiots like us in a forum !
