2022/23 Conor Coady

[roy vernon]

I'm not sure his age matters so much, he's no speed merchant anyway, so I think, as a centre back he has a good few seasons in front of him yet. If 4.5 mill. is indeed the magic number, then, provided his wage demands are reasonable and that he accepts he will not necessarily be an automatic first choice, then I would say go for it.

It all depends what our budget is for the summer. If it's ample, then sure, bring CC in. But if it's limited as I suspect it will be, I'm not sure whether we can afford to spend a chunk on a reserve centre back.

My mate reckons he’a off to Sheffield United.

Surprised if we don’t take the option, tbh.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

If we want to option of playing 5 at the back/wingbacks, he’s a no brainer for £4.5m. We could get that back from Keane alone. If it’s 4-4-2 I’m far from convinced by him. Squads do need flexibility and options though.

If we are keeping Coleman and Pickford I would lose Coady

Na....I'd be losing Holgate,Godfrey and Keane.

Can you explain your workings out mate as I'm not sure why deciding to keep Pickford has any impact on deciding not to sign Coady.

 

[Ring master]

For the price he is suppose to be at, i dont get why we would not keep him,myself. i would 100% keep him

 

[neil999]

His interview sounded like a player staying
...

 

[heatmeiser]

If we don't take up the option to have him on a perm that pretty much guarantees Keane stinks the gaff out again next year

 

[Bilko]

I think the player knows himself what's happening. The interview I've seen from him suggests to me that he's part of the coming season which I'd be very happy about.

This really. For that price he buys us a solid professional, and gives us the flexibility to go to a back three when needed.

 

[MisterJ]

I would sign him up for two. I would consider three. It's an inexpensive solution to an immediate problem, and CBs tend to hang on longer than most.

I wouldn't love it. The alternatives are sign someone younger up at a price, hunt for the next Tarkowski and pray we hit, or keep a CB we know doesn't work. I would not count on another hit like Tarkowski, and this is not a position I want to commit significant resources to this summer.

Longer term, as he's quite a vocal player, any use as a coach?

 

[hktoffee]

£4.5m get it done.

Sell Holgate and Keane.
