Karmacoma.....Jamaica and RomaWhat’s his new song then lads
This lad talks a good game, I'll give him that.
He's the personfication of a Kopite: a big dope with a big gob chatting nonsense.
I couldn't care less though if he does it for us.
Hes moved from Wolves cos the manager told him he wasnt in his plans.
We will find out whether he can play in a 4 at some point.
I doubt a Premier League player cant play in a back 4.
Didn't you call him a "load of heffing tripe" in his thread on Sunday?A good addition to our squad. I would demote Mina to the bench as a permanent sub.
I find this to be the strangest bit of business we have done for years and possibly one of the best as well.
I thought Coady would have been one of the few players at Wolves that simply was not for sale without someone making a massive bid and even then sold grudgingly.
We have been able to sign on loan a 29 year old club captain who should be in his prime, whose contract is not about to expire and we have even gotten him on loan this season.
I can't honestly say I spend much time watching Wolves and I keep seeing it repeated he that he can't play in a back four and that is why he is being released as Wolves are changing formations.
Can anybody say when playing for England was that in a back four or a five?
I feel like people have got a bit confused with the 'can't play in a 4' stuff. I mean obviously he can play in a 4, he's not physically incapable of it or anything, it's just the feeling is generally that whereas he's an above average centre half in a 5 he's a below average one in a 4. He won't spontaneously combust if we put him there, but if we intend on playing a back 4 every week then he probably isn't going to be a very good signing.
Nice little break down in the Athletic when he played in a 4 for England and a few times for Wolves (they go through a game Vs arsenal).
He was fine.

He's not very quick (and quite slow on the turn) and he also struggles against very physical strikers. In a 4 that's a problem but in a 5 he just sits deep as a sweeper and mops up, never really needing to see his weaknesses exposed. If we get the set up right then his organisation and passing ability can be very useful for us.
