kingfox Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 It seems to me that our aim is to build a very experienced spine to the team. As Strider said a few weeks ago, we’re going to need 2-3 players like this, a spine of a more experienced goalkeeper, Coady, Winks & Vardy should hopefully be solid enough for the Championship. This also makes me think that Maresca could opt for a back three, Coady as the experienced centrepiece and as Bert said, it would make perfect sense to give him the armband. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is my main reservation too. Hopefully we are also looking in the championship and League One for younger players who want to prove themselves with us.

Popular Post Lionator Posted 27 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 27 June 2023 Coady and Winks would be an exceptional start and does imply at least some strategy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor coady isn't nearer 40 and he can play in the prem. What is there not to like? He's not what you described at all. We've also had rumours of younger players. To get out of this league you need the mix of experience/know how and youth. This is a great signing to have. Will lead and guide the youngsters around him. Im all for him given the armband. Needs a new voice. If anyone understands his accent Edited 27 June 2023 by fox_favourite 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionator Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Also Coady is a leader and that’s the one thing we have desperately been lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_wright Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) Unreal singing - beating PL clubs to him too! Would have started every game last season for us! we need to withdraw that Evans contract now - no more messing about with players that see us as a last resort Edited 27 June 2023 by jonny_wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Could be a great signing, the type of character we're crying out for. I'm wondering if we'll have offered him the captaincy to seal the deal. I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just it, if we keep it to 2-3, then I think we are good. More than that and it gets worrying. But most teams have a spine you can trust and if we have Coady, Winks, Vardy, then at this level that's probably the best in the division. The Zach Steffen one doesn't surprise me, though I thought we might go for Willy Caballero instead as the keeper is the last part of the spine, and whilst Iversen is a good shot stopper, look at the way Guardiola ditched Joe Hart as an example of how important distribution is to these modern progressive systems. If we end up with 6-7 of these type of players, then it's alarm bells time. Otherwise it doesn't surprise me at all to see the sort of names we've been linked with. Others I could see us getting are players like Ream, Chambers, Hause, Millovejic, Fraser, Welbeck. Experienced pros that are decent and might have a year or two left in them and might want more regular first team football. I just don't want to see a team full of players like that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we signed experienced players for our promotion year, look at League one, we had Howard and Oakley in the team who, at the time we're experienced players and helped us get out of the league.
