2022/23 Conor Coady

[Saint Domingo]

Dyche prefers a back 4. Coady wants to play every week. Dyche (and most Evertonians) doesn’t have him down as a first choice CB in a back 4. The conclusion to this is pretty obvious. I see the shouts to keep him as a squad player but I don’t think Coady wants that and respect to him for wanting to play.

 

[Baggzio]

In an ideal world at least three of Keane, Holgate & Godfrey will be sold

Fixed that for you

 

[toffee-L]

I would like to see a Tarkowski - Branthwaite partnership next season, but if I'm looking at who comes behind them I'd want Coady on the bench and in the dressing room all day ahead of the likes of Holgate, Keane and Godfrey. I hope at least two of those names are still moved on regardless, they've had more than enough opportunities.

For a paltry £4.5m in this day and age, I would have taken him all day long but if he wants to go somewhere and play first choice I don't blame him at all.

 

[NathDogg]

Branthwaite is unknown at premier league level...let's stop gambling the future of this club when there isn't a need to

Branthwaite isn’t the gamble - keeping Holgate, Keane and having to play them is the gamble.

5.2 million a year that. So unless Coady was coming in on less than 15k a week Mina was cheaper and 10 games of Mina is better than 30 of Coady who the manager already decided wasn't good enough.

Coady was on 62 grand a week

 

[Tony1985]

I would have paid the 4 million purely for his leadership qualities, we have a team full of perpetual losers that down tools at the first opportunity, we need more leaders and he is one.

 

[YoboCopter]

The face of everton fc as he would make you think the amount he talks

Should just go and be a pundit its what he seems to enjoy most

He costs double that in medical bills. And 5mill for 10 games doesn't make financial sense in your metric

Mina wasn't good enough for Dyche until the Keane decided to show his true self. So you can't read much into that.

I'm not arguing we shouldve kept either of them.

 

[Evertonthat]

I'd guess we're still not allowed to spend money with this profit/loss review commission thing hanging over us.

 

[PhilM]

I take the opposite view - Branthwaite slots in instead of him/Mina, we then spend the £4.5m plus wages elsewhere.

Not saying he did badly coz he didn’t, I just think we have to be ultra-ruthless - how old is he? I also think the ‘kopite’ shouts on him are unfair, and I hope they’re in jest.

Logically, you’re probably right. I think my worry is that I’d want at least one of Keane, Holgate and Godfrey to go too…

… and I don’t trust the club to do that or find enough suitable replacements. Coady would be an easy and competent appointment.

 

[Neiler]

He was barely used second half of the season - so hard to justify - we have been heavy at centre back and looseing him and Mina prob clears a lot of wages in that area.

We might be freeing up a squad place for Brantwaite and a developmental pathway - which could also help the wage bill. Or it might redistribute a wage to recruit a full back - which we defo need.

Be curious if we could have signed him and the sold him though - maybe doing what seems to be happening with Nkounkou in France.

 

[Walken]

His top attribute is doing lad bible content on YouTube, if he's not wanting to be a squad player on squad player wages then we move on. Too small and too slow to play in a back four

 

[Tony’s Carp]

I know his leadership skills are legendary but maybe having someone yell COME ON, BOYS in everyone’s ear holes every thirty seconds is actually really annoying.

 

[Wat Tyler]

People saying he wasn’t gonna be first choice are forgetting the ridiculous injuries we always get. Now we have Keane Holgate and Godfrey all going to get minutes.

I think £4m for a defender who is better than all them was a no brainer.
