Not sure he will be suited enough for Brussell-ball either

Will be fine against Kilmarnock etc

Glad Rangers are signing this carthorse

Don't raise your hopes (or ours). He'll still be with us come August.

Dyche interestingly ditched him as soon as he took over at Everton.

Don’t think it was that interesting tbh.

 

Coady has only enjoyed success in his career as part of a deep-lying 3/5 at Wolves.

 

Dyche, the most 4-4-2 manager of this era, recognised that straight away.

How much do we have to pay them to take him ?

[honeybradger]

We paid £7mil for him 2 years ago btw.

 

Ridiculous fee for a £1-2mil player. Genuinely think Rodgers spouting off about lack of leadership and 'young squad' made the people running us lose their heads and forget about everything else.

They would have needed a head to lose it.

Why hasn't he gone yet

Free transfer with them covering all his wages is a decent bet?

Still puts us £2.5m down on the books but they might view that as worthwhile just to get him gone.

[Claudio Fannieri]

A Rangers ITK reckons the fee is £1.8m but will be announced as undisclosed. I wonder if some of the reported £7.5m included performance bonuses linked to staying in premier league. Therefore the 1.8m breaks even or maybe a very small profit for us.

Though if he's on more than £50k a week with a year left, that would also save £2.5m on the expenditure (assuming wages can't be subject to amortisation).

 

I'm guessing it will still be a couple of mill as a transfer fee

Transfers are never as simple as handing over cash though. Let's say he's on 60k per week and Rangers only want to pay him half that as he's still contracted to us it is often the case that the selling club foregoes or reduces any small transfer fee so they don't end up having to pay off his wages.  2.5 million is 48k per week basic wage but then you need to add on insurance costs/pensions/employers NI etc etc. 

So may be worth doing a deal that clears him off the books completely even if it means losing a small amount of transfer fee.

But I know you know this anyway.

Good news for us. And whoever is in charge of socials at Rangers

Not the best source, but there's been noise around this one 

[Pinfox]

He’s popped up again on tv, as a pundit of Channel 4 coverage of Euro U21 final… 

More media engagements than appearances for LCFC..

twerking for a new club

[STUHILL]

I genuinely thought he would be an OK signing for us and a leader that we desperately needed back then. 

 

Soon worked out, that he is not a very good footballer and also him being a 'leader' is a bit of myth. 

 

He is just a good talker, and very little else. How he got an England call-up, I will never know. 

 

 

[Garns77]

Just saw him on his way to the training ground so he's still here, unfortunately...

[BKLFox]

I know it’s all doom and gloom around here nowadays but I would rather be reading stories of Vestergaard and Faes leaving before Coady.

 

Whilst it was a 5hit show last season I imagine Coady did more behind the scenes trying to keep players together and focused along with Vardy than those 2 ‘look after myself’ individuals would have.

Could be to clear out his locker and say his goodbyes ahead of his move being announced tomorrow.

That would be nice! To be fair I dont mind him, just getting his wages gone would be the best outcome

I agree with this. Ideally we move on Faes, Vestergaard and Coady, in that order. But if one of them was to stay, for me it'd be Coady all day long. He would be most useful in the Championship next season. 

To have Nelson, Okoli, Coady and Souttar would be perfectly acceptable for the CB options for promotion.

I'd imagine we will lose Coady and Faes, but we'll never flush Vestergaard. He'll retire here.

[Leicesterpool]

Some saying the deal is off for now for Rangers. My guess it's partly to do with wages, can't see Rangers being able to match even half his wages at Leicester. Saying that rather Coady stayed much rather see Vestergaard and Faes out the door.
