Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 30 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 30 June 2023 I very much doubt Coady’s signing is based purely on his football ability, it will also be the personality, mentality and leadership that he brings, which were all missing in bucket loads last season. He will no doubt be made captain and I think straight away that is a really positive step in getting rid of the negativity and hangover from relegation. Also the professionalism and leadership will be huge for next season especially as we will no doubt have a smattering of younger players. I know people talk about £7.5m as being a big fee but this is a defender who was in the England World Cup squad just over 6 months ago, we haven’t paid £15m, remember we paid £3m for Evans, 4 years ago but that was only because of a relegation clause. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 I think this one is about over the line for 8.5 million? If so, I’m really happy with signings like Coady. He’s solid and him and Souttar should form a good CB partnership at Championship level. He’s a known quantity and the type of player that would have probably made us better if we’d signed him in the Premier League. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And I wonder whether this was one of things to come out of the "retrospective" exercise on what got us into this mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fox_favourite Posted 30 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 30 June 2023 He ticks so many boxes, so for 7.5m +£1m if we're promoted is good business. As we've learnt, CB is a position you need to get right. He'll bring so much more as well. His leadership skills and his bubbly and positive personality is exactly what we need to start a fresh and get us going. I still can't understand why some our against it. The pros really put weigh the negatives. It's probably the least gamble signing we've made in a while, as to me, it's a no brainer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafewayFox Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 There is no doubting Coady’s on field influence as so many in the game have commented on that but I do have one reservation about his off the field influence. Everton were a mess (just slightly less than us) and he was there all season 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the interviews with him over the years, he doesn't come across as boring mono toned with default answers. Maybe also the same way as 30k in a stadium knew Soyuncu's man area was quite so big Edited 30 June 2023 by fox_favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 Helped keep Everton up at our expense, very decent at this level and we know he can perform in the premier league. Will be by far the best defender at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have hoped Perspective FC would have died off after we got relegated behind the likes of Bournemouth, Nottingham Forrest and Everton last season but sadly there will always be a section of our fanbase who think they have significantly more insight than the other 90% of the fanbase and will belittle anyone that questions anything to do with the club. People are allowed to question whether a player who couldnt make the starting XI for a poor Everton side who finished one point above us last year will be any good for the team outside of his dressing room presence. He may turn out as a good signing for us but it's not wrong to question these things just because we're in a lower league. Not saying anyone's opinion is wrong at all. My point was that a few are saying his stats are poor but that was the league above so it doesn't mean as much so we should bear that in mind before fully writing off someone who hasn't kicked a ball for us yet. This would definitely have been an underwhelming signing had we stayed up and possibly still could be now so can totally see where you're coming from. I'd also argue that referring to anyone with the same viewpoint as me as 'Perspective FC' and hoping we 'die off' is a lot more belittling than anything I've said.

With respect to you, I would not take to much notice of anything that comes out of Everton. They are very lucky to still be in the EPL. They owe Madders big time. You could have put De Bruyne in that Everton Team last season and he would have looked like Junior Lewis. Fingers crossed he does us proud next season.

You’ve totally missed my point mate. Merely stating that potentially we’re getting excited about Coady having this huge influence off the pitch as I’m comfortable to say that we’re a bigger mess than Everton are. It’s a positive change with a player in the mould of Kasper but think we need a whole bunch of leaders on/off our pitch as have mentality midgets (mirroring Rodgers right).
