2022/23 Conor Coady

[Blast_of_Cannock]

I suppose Wolves thought "Well, we've robbed Forest with the Gibbs-White deal, so we don't really need a big fee for Coady". They did a reverse Robin Hood so to speak...

4.5 mill is gross negligence by wolves.

Honestly, I do not know how true is 4.5mil. I always thought it was 10mil.

Maybe there was some upfront loan fees which was quite high? so perhaps, in total it was closer to the 10mil valuation by Wolves.

If not 4.5mil is a steal for an experienced starting CB (for the last few seasons with Wolves) in Premier League

 

[GT77]

He wasn't starting for them so they probably saw getting a fee and his wages off the books as a good thing for an older player.

Their manager was just wrong.

Fantastic bit of business

Conor Coady's option fee is the reverse "how much James got paid"

 

[malcson]

Yeah but he can’t play in a back 4 ?

Surely we have paid a sizeable loan fee that was effectively a down payment

Yeah, whatever the transfer fee is at the end of season, you can guarantee that we've paid something for this season also. Not gonna speculate on figures.

I actually think we targeted Coady not just because he's a good player, but also because he had a real desire to play for us. that will have helped our bargaining position no end.

Going for players with a real desire to play for us has been one of the impressive things about our business this summer. Onana spoke abut it, Gueye said he wanted to come home, and I reckon Coady pushed for this move in a way he wouldn't have done if say a Leicester had come in for him. Actually, thinking about it, there MUST have been other interested parties? I'd also be interested to know how determined Tarks was to come here, because likewise I'm sure he had other offers, but can't say I've really read or heard anything about his move other than the obvious - we signed him for free, he was out of contract.

£2m by the end of the month, they’re paying us by the end of the season

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Fantastic bit of business

If we go into the vaults we’d find people saying “what of Thelwell’s links to Wolves”

 

[neil999]

Imagine we can sell Keane for more, which is quite possible..

 

[Paul Rideout]

£2m by the end of the month, they’re paying us by the end of the season

next AGM "Where is the Coady loan money, Bill?"

 

[Toffe3m4n]

No-brainer at £4.5m really isn't it

It's true

That's the agreed buy option

We will have paid a loan fee and will be paying his wages in full though

 

[Toffeepot]

He actually costs more in FPL
What a great deal, we've been due a few good ones
