We had a player who didn’t want to be here and we’ve got shot quick. This is literally how we should have been operating since 2016. Paying over the odds and handing out big long contracts to players with no resale value? It seems like we are operating as we always have. Coady will be a good signing at this level but if we stay down we wont be able to afford his wages and no one will want to take him off our hands. If we go up he wont be good enough and no one will want to take him off our hands because of his wages. 2 1

He was in the england squad less than a year ago, its hardly like he's became garbage over night. a 35 year old Tim Ream has done a decent job in the Prem this year, hardly think a 31 year old Coady will be past it 9
ozvaldo Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Too many people are worrying about ‘players not being good enough in the prem’. Let’s just focus on going up. Then we can cut the fat. 4

Pearson said when they came back after Deeney Day, the only thing that the club is focusing on is promotion and nothing else. We behaved like a top Premiership club then and we had a swagger in the way we rolled up to games, different class. And quite a few were not stars but good solid pros 1
SheppyFox Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Did I miss something? Coady is a good player, I expected more positivity. 4

Rodgers has gone and we got relegated, we are now in the championship with a new manager. FFS give your head a wobble and get out of the spiral of misery you were in last season. Time to start expecting things to improve and be positive. 3

foxinsocks Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Those who we want gone should go asap ... so the squad can start to focus on next season's campaign
StonyFox Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Went to world cup only 6 months ago. I think he'll be perfect for us and has a few years in him yet. 1

High wages, long deal and feels like we’ll be stuck with him beyond his use for us taking up wages etc. Would have been an excellent deal if we got him at half the price but taking into account our recent financial situations its hard not to be skeptical. 5 minutes ago, hackneyfox said: Rodgers has gone and we got relegated, we are now in the championship with a new manager.

Maybe when the club start making more sensible decisions. So far 18m on Winks and Coady on high wages and long contracts are not sensible decisions. 1

A win changed the tune of some but we weren’t all dancing hand in hand from the first kick of the season. 1

A few weeks ago we had people saying that Evans was a must keep, even though he played about 6 games and was 'good' in about 2 of them, and offer fek all leadership even though he was captain on silly money. Coady is the best possible replacement for that experienced head and could still offer something if we go up. Still think people don't know were we are at right now. I'm happy with this one.

Fazzer 7 Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Rudkin mugged again. This isn't a Maresca signing, surely.

It’s up to £18m and you have no idea of salary or length of contract but typically assume the worst. Do you even own a glass?
Paninistickers Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 As per, any supposed negative Nellies are being shouted down by the happy clappers. I'm not against Coady per se, but I think it is correct to question 1. He's not as good as Evans. And Evans is available for free. There's an 8m savi g right there 2. The 3 or 4 year contract we are offering Coady could be condensed to a 2 year deal for Evans - shortening our commitment Apart from the huge question marks over Evans' fitness, i think it fair to question the financial (and footballing) logic of this deal. Somebody has to. Foxes Trust won't. The club admin won't talk to the media. And most supporters see what they want to see, rather than have a inquisitive mind 1

Winks should at least be an asset at 27. Coady, poor imo.

Evans does not deserve to be used as the barometer of any signing. 2 1

FFS are you for real, he hardly played last season and he’s now 35 so considerably older than Cody. 3
