Everton in for Wolves's Coady
Everton are again being linked with a move for Conor Coady, with Sky Sports claiming that the Blues want to sign him before the transfer deadline.
Frank Lampard already has five senior centre-halves on his books and although there has been reported interest from West Ham in Mason Holgate and the club are prepared to listen to tempting offers for Yerry Mina, there don't appear to be any moves imminent for Everton's existing defenders.
Coady, meanwhile, still has three years remaining on his contract at Molineux where he is club captain so would likely not come cheap, although there are suggestions that the Midlands club could let him go, perhaps on loan, to further his World Cup prospects.

Thelwell's Wolves connection makes these rumours more plausible, the player must have been sounded out about it.
Something doesn't stack up here, club captain, 3 years left on his contract, and talk of a loan deal. It's all very weird, has there been some kind of falling out between him and the club? Been rejected when asked he for an increase and his toys are scattered around the pram?

Coady wants to go to the World Cup and is concerned he won't be part of the new centre-back combination going forward. Apparently this is why Wolves are prepared to let him go at the right price.
I can't see them letting him go for less than 㿊M. If we are interested, then one of Keane, Mina and Holgate needs to be worried. It might also explain why we let Branthwaite go on loan.

Elsewhere, I hear Amadou Onana is another potential signing. No striker yet though.

Surely if we've got the £20(+)m we'd need to buy Coady, it should be spent on forward options.
We're absolutely desperate for forward options.
Stocking up on more CBs would be such a small club thing to do. We should want to be better than that - and protect our defence by giving the opposition plenty to think about.

I've a good feeling that despite the setback of DCL, Everton will have match winners in our duo signed from Burnley.
Both look like footballers, early days and true faith in EFC.

Wolves had a solid season off the back of conceding very few goals. They didn't score many, but if they got ahead in a match they were very hard to break down. They scored less than Everton but conceded far less.
The forward line is concerningly lacking, but for seasons it has been too easy to sit back against Everton, win the ball in defence and simply put a couple of passes straight through the middle.
With a stronger line up in the CB and CM at least there is a foundation to build from.

So are we going from having a dozen number 10's to a dozen centre halves? This doesn't make any sense to me unless it means the likes of Keane, Holgate and/or Mina are to be sold.

Needs to play in a five because too slow and lacks mobility.
Even Holgate who has the concentration of a goldfish is better because he is quicker and can also play as a right back.
Unless we are planning to get rid of both Mina and Holgate then why should we bring in another average player just to keep up the numbers.
We have a very poor scouting system who's first port of call seems to be every Wolves player, followed by looking at who other teams are after, then offering a bit more in wages.
Need a clear out of scouting staff and a DOF who can actually find some decent players by putting in the hard graft.

Hope the rumours of us paying 㾸M for him are way off. Better uses for that money.
26 Posted 07/08/2022 at 13:58:37
Along with Patterson and Mykolenko, we could have the making of a decent back line, albeit for only a couple of years or so, given the age of both Coady and Tarkowski.
But it's the here and now we should be concerned about, not the future, and we need to bring stability to the club before moving to the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Forget about any sell-on value for Tarkowski and Coady. Let them forge a strong relationship and bring stability to our back four.
27 Posted 07/08/2022 at 14:21:17
He's not well suited to a back 4 which is one reason why he's been dropped at Wolves.
If he's available on a free or a loan, then sure but, if we're spending money, then I do think there are better options out there.
28 Posted 07/08/2022 at 14:30:23
I would personally keep Holgate as he is at least mobile. I'd look to try and keep some money from Keane and Davies, Gomes and Gbamin likely to only be loans. I hope we can get them off the books.
Weird pre-season but then this is Everton.

Hoping it's the quoted loan with view to buy rather than money upfront.

Buffalo Bill Cody !
The transfer Activity at Everton, despite various Managers, has all the biological stains of Bullshit Bill over it. What an Anti Everton figure despite his proclamations that he does everything in the interest of Everton. Does everything to suit himself and stay in the limelight.
Lime-lights went out of fashion years ago, and so should he have !
