I’d imagine maybe Dyche has different ideas at Everton too, perhaps wants to build a younger back line. Plenty of reasons I’m sure, doesn’t mean it’s not a cracking signing for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyJim1987 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 13 minutes ago, whoareyaaa said: any sources? Did he not ask the Belgium manager if playing in the Champ would effect his call? that would suggest he would be willing to stay? No just my opinion. Already made noises via his agent more or less saying that his Belgium career may be harmed stepping down. Wouldn't mind one bit him leaving, he was largely a liability.

Lots of people 'allegedly' hear lots of things it doesn't make those rumours right either! Coady isn't walking away from north of 70 bags a week to come to Leicester for half of that. He's got 1 last decent pay day, exactly the type of signings Micky Adams made in 2004 and Sven in 2010/11. These players won't drop down to the Championship out the good of their own heart if there's wedge elsewhere to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonarchFox Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Hope this comes off. He's the sort of bloke you want standing next to you at the back. Solid leader and organiser, we've missed that past few seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markko Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 He would be a steady signing. Experienced. He was around England team not too long ago. We need a team of scrappers and runners. He is in the former category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans had a relegation release clause of £3.5m, Coady had an option to join Everton for just £4.5m and they've opted not to sign him. It's surprising if he's still supposedly PL class and we've beaten PL clubs to his signature. He's not coming here for a big pay cut that's for sure and that concerns me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with a player, it’s just that space needs to be made in a squad and a 30 year old centre back is probably a good place to start whilst you can still get a bit of cash for them.

Can @The Bear give answers/opinions on this? Cheers. (Apologies if you already have and i've missed them) Just not going to be first choice so we're letting him go and find a new club where he will be.

Coady, Faes, Souttar are not blessed with pace. Vesty will bring the needed mobility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but last year (maybe the year before that) I didn't get how or why he fell out of favour. With respect, a year or two, even three we were well ahead of Wolves (Obviously our rapid demise has put paid to that) and I'd have had him then.

These players won't drop down to the Championship out the good of their own heart if there's wedge elsewhere to be had. The issue is if we don’t get back up next season is wolves’ problem to make up the difference between what we can afford to pay him (40k) and what they are contracted to pay him (65k). The shortfall can be addressed in a reduced fee which we then have available to give him as a s/o fee. I reckon we’re talking approx £1m. But what happens the season after ? Wolves are contracted to pay him 65k. Whilst we would take that on if we go back up, what happens if we don’t? Maybe we have agreed for him to have a small release clause of £2m which would mean he can leave next summer and get a low level PL club what do we think he is worth with two years left ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Lage was an idiot and made it clear to Coady he wasn't going to be used and could leave. Coady wanted to stay in the England setup so went to Everton. Now the new manager wants his own defenders. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: What the last 2 seasons showed us was that as the team collectively got older and more experienced, we weren't anymore consistent or better. We got infinitely worse and that wasn't because it was a team bunch of kids. So what was the average age of the squad last year compared to 2019/20 and 20/21. Or Average age of the most pick first 11 of last season compared to 2019/20 and 20/21? Edited 27 June 2023 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played in the middle sweeping behind the other two using his reading of the game, and also started attacks with long diagonal balls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
