Confirmed Signing Conor Coady

[PhilRegan]

So, if I was a Wolves fan, I would ask why on earth would they agreed to it. Like, if he is good, (he clearly is), unless they have a ready made, cheaper, (wages) on the books already, why strengthen a PL rival?

Exactly it's a bemusing deal. I think a fallout has happened or he's requested a move, something is a miss at Wolves.

Only the second player from St Helens the club have had - Langley being the other.

…Eric Moore.

 

[Amigawolf]

It is and the key detail is "option" to buy , wolves wanted an obligation. That's where in the past we would have fell over and went for it.

He simply doesn't fit into our new formation. If we were continuing with a back 5 then he would definitely be staying, But a back 4 is not going to play to his strengths, and I'm sure he has eyes on the England squad. I think it is fair all round.

Cant quite get it. Any idea how many years he had left on his Wolves contract?

 

[Peter The Dog]

fair enough if this is a season long loan.

he'll be pushing for a place in the England squad.

any longer, and we could find ourselves shafted again with another player on the Everton gravy train.

 

[roy vernon]

Loan, with an option is a great bit of business.

2025 as far as iam aware , very weird to just lose such an important asset like a fart in the wind

When's the last time we signed an actual redshieße

Manager looks a hot head if the end of the leeds game is anything to go by.

Just don't give him a 5-year deal and we can't lose. He's 29 and his game doesn't rely on pace. He's easily good enough for this season on loan then a 2-year deal with further option of a year on the club's side. £10m or so is a bargain for a proven (time and time again) Premier League centre half. He's twice the player of £80m Maguire.

Tongue in cheek, famous quote from Withnail and I.

Withnail and I is a great comic fictitious film. Dom's mental health issues are real, he has been open about them, and Frank has commented about supporting him.

I am sure you didn't intend any harm, but tongue in cheek comments like that can be very hurtful in this situation.

Yes exactly his knee jerk is hopefully our gain

Isn't Dele a kopite?

And I'm sure I read Walcott supported them.

The third choice keeper?

In fairness, on Twitter a lot of wolves fans do seem a bit confused / annoyed at this deal
