When we won the Championship with De Laet, James, Drinkwater, Wood, Hammond, Phillips in the squad, or maybe more recently than that when we added Albrighton and Huth and won the Premier League. It's not been amazing recently (Evans and Kelechi very solid signings though), but we're not recruiting to try and finish in the European places any more.

leicesterlad1989 Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Proven Premier League player. Captain. Leader. Not sure what's not to like. Not every player through the door a has to be young or exotic sounding. We clearly had a lack of leadership last season and hopefully this is a way of addressing things. 3

He's not what you described at all. He couldn't even get into a disgraceful Everton side ahead of Michael Keane for one, and we'll probably end up waving a 4 year contract at him. 1
fox_favourite Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) Just imagine a team with prime Deeney, Vardy and Coady in it. No one would mess with us. Edited 27 June 2023 by fox_favourite

I don’t get the lack of enthusiasm him and winks would be a great start to the window imo experience and solid pros in areas we are lacking - then add the youngsters on top 2
CosbehFox Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Think there’s a massive distinctive between Coady and Winks for me. Coady has the experience of promotion, leadership character and doesn’t have an injury record. 2
Ric Flair Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 Can't say I'm that enthralled by this but it could be a necessary signing in isolation. I'm more worried by the trend of Coady, Winks, Steffan. These are experienced players coming from PL clubs on big wages where playing in the Championship is a step down and if we return to the PL aren't the profile of player that will necessarily improve or add squad value for resale and reinvestment. There's always a need for the odd one of these players but in 24 hours the 3 concrete links are all this type of player and alarm bells are ringing. I'd prefer Coady if we had to sign one of him or Winks as a leader though. 1

Get real. We are relegated and someone with his experience would be vital. He played well for 3 years in a good Wolves side who were always good defensively. He would do well in our league. Everyone on here seems to think we are still in the prem and most players are somehow beneath us, or want to play FIFA career mode and have a team of prem u21 starboys. We need some solid signings like Winks and Coady.
The_Rorab Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) I rate the Coady signing a lot more than Winks, though in truth I don't have misgivings about their abilities, moreso than concerns about how much money we're going to be giving them. It depends on whether signing players presumably on decent Prem wages continues as a trend or whether they're the exceptions - if the latter, I'm happy enough with both, but the former I would definitely be concerned about our recruiting focus. Also, whilst the soundbite of beating other Prem clubs to the signing of Coady for example sounds good - I worry that the reason if that we're offering too much money.

I'm not against this one per se, but I was kinda hoping to replicate the formula from last time - namely signing up the best / fittest / fastest players in the league. Tbh I don't want Winks but Coady makes more sense to me at a time where we need leadership and experience he will offer that, similar to Huth.

We need leadership. England took him to a major tournament to sit on the bench and be a leader in the changing room - this is clever business. 1

He was behind tarkowski and mina When dyche went to a back three for their most important game he brought him back in ahead of Keane - he had previously preferred Keane which most Everton fans thought was ridiculous he’s 30 a four year deal for a thirty year old CB who is a strong character in the dressing room sounds reasonable to me 1

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 This would be a superb signing and if we’d have signed him instead of Faes, we wouldn’t have gone down. Good the club seem to be targeting some tough players. We’ve been a right pushover the last couple of years. 1

There may be clauses promotion based incentives as opposed to really high weekly salaries🤷♂️

lgfualol Posted 27 June 2023 Posted 27 June 2023 I'd take him, a proper captain with a lot of experience. We really miss leaders like him. I mean last season Evans capt with Albrighton vice captain, with Tielemans and Maddison captain at times. What a joke.
