Is he signing for the Saints then...dmccart32 said:He'll score a 91st minute winner against his old club on Saturday with a towering header from a Bree corner!0 -
Watching a 2 min highlight reel of 5 games in total, in a team new to the league, isn't truly indicative of how good that player will be for us.fenaddick said:
Why are you assuming that's what's happened? Plenty of us will have watched those 5 games (or at the very lease highlights) and seen with our own eyes. Now there is potential that he just wasn't up to speed and needed to build up some match fitness but the same will be true nowsam3110 said:I love how people are using the word of Wrexham fans as gospel, people who haven't even watched football until about 4 years ago, and based on 5 games for them.
Dobson had 5 shit games for us at the start of his time here
Use the same logic and Apter and Ramsay should be premier league bound from our first 5 games5 -
Experienced leader and former England international in a position where we definitely need cover. Very pleased with this.7

I think the issue is it’s unlikely he’s cheap. I’m confused as to why we’re potentially signing someone on loan that won’t necessarily improve us based on how he’s been perceived by his last two clubs.sam3110 said:I love how people are using the word of Wrexham fans as gospel, people who haven't even watched football until about 4 years ago, and based on 5 games for them.
Dobson had 5 shit games for us at the start of his time hereIf he’s signed to be playing a depth role for Jones then that’s fine - but means we’ve still got depth issues at LCB.I hope he does well for us but I’m not convinced he’s the answer to our issues.1 -
Then he’s exactly the sort of signing I’ve been dreading. We have umpteen players eminently qualified to sit on the bench but we’re desperate for players to come in and be first team regulars and drag us out of the shizer we’ve found ourselves in. I know it’s a loan but we need some first eleven quality to arrive not more players that won’t help.NabySarr said:
Lloyd Jones is one of the best in the air and box defenders in the championship though. So even if he is a bit slow (quicker than Coady) he is still our best and most important playerking addick said:The Cody's leg have gone argument..Lloyd Jones aint a greyhound is he 🤣 Coady may not have the legs now but his know how and positioning will make up for that in this relegation battle.
Get the worry that he is replacing Jones. We can only speculate at this point but when you are in the shit, you need character/experience to pull you out, that goes for Godden aswell.
Coady is shit and if he plays a significant amount of minutes then we will be getting relegated. Thankfully, I doubt this is our plan and he will mostly sit on the bench5 -
It's not all about what a player brings at 3pm on a Saturday. Coady is a very experienced CB with PL and International pedigree, having him working with our defensive shape and adding a voice as a leader in the group, as well as being cover for a key position is decent business.12

I read that as Oxford signing Ade Edmondson. Not sure about legs going but his head certainly did in one episode of the Young Ones.Callumcafc said:https://the72.co.uk/2026/01/27/oxford-united-bid-andrias-edmundsson/Oxford taking a gamble on an unproven left footed centre back13 -

Remember, bottom three budget Golfie, surprised this hasn’t sunk in yet, although accepting that would stop you moaning, and that could never happen.golfaddick said:Connor Coady wanting game time so he gets noticed by Tuchel for this summer's WC......or that will be the spin the club put on it 🤭.0 -
Wouldn't it be great if we could get someone in the middle.Sword65pf said:So we are going from spunking money on players with potential, to players that have used up all their potential and come out the other side. Nothing like a good strategy!!!!0 -

Andy Hughes was brought in for similar reasons - if you get them right they can be great for the dressing room.1 -
It isn’t. I did a bit of scouting on the Leicester forum from a summer. They were to a man delighted to get rid of him, with someone saying they could not remember a single particularly good appearance in his two years there (Champ and Prem). The comment that ‘he looks like he runs nursing a broken back’ was a bit amusing.Chunes said:
It says he was linked before he went to Wrexham. It's only at Wrexham that he's shown his new lack of legs.Callumcafc said:https://insideibrox.com/ex-rangers-target-exit-six-months-after-snubRangers fan site discussing how they were in for Coady six months ago under Russell Martin.The legs go very quickly. Look at Ben Watson. Top player in the Championship the season before he moved to us.But it was clear that pre-Wrexham his levels had dropped pretty quickly, and he was hastily withdrawn from Wrexhams defence after 5 games never to return.Not writing off until I judge with my own eyes, but as someone else said, it smacks of desperation.6 -
As for the character thing, was suggested on the Leicester forum he was a bit of a pain in the arse around the training ground0
-
Just like to point out that Gillie is slow but it's the lack of a wing back in front of him that's the problem, when Bell has played in front of him, he hasn't got exposed, Saturday our shape looked better for having a left footer in the wing back position but Luke Chambers lack of game time and lack of training with this squad meant we were weak on that side. Chambers will get better and Bell will return but we have to be careful with him.Callumcafc said:Wait and see for me. Wrexham fans might be right. But Luton fans said Bell wasn’t any good anymore either.
He might be slow like Gillesphey but at least he won’t (shouldn’t) pass the ball directly to the opposition and put us under pressure multiple times a game…2 -
moutuakilla said:stackitsteve said:So Macca-Coady-Burke back 3 at Leicester?
Could strap them together and put them in one big shirt

I think that, for me, judging Coady is probably, is he better than Ramsay and fitter than Burke, if the answer to both is yes then sign him.1
-
So he's not particularly good any more, and apparently causes a bit of aggro in training and doesn't actually really address any problems except just as one more body to add numbers....AFKABartram said:As for the character thing, was suggested on the Leicester forum he was a bit of a pain in the arse around the training ground

But he wouldn’t play in that position (nor Gillesphy’s) so it’s not relevantBailey said:I think that, for me, judging Coady is probably, is he better than Ramsay and fitter than Burke, if the answer to both is yes then sign him.3 -
Wouldnt have minded this signing, but the reviews from his 2 previous clubs, Leicester and Wrexham have been so awful2
-
is there a major outbreak of severe depression amongst CL members or are we overrun with miserable bastards that get their kicks from an "everything is shit and it's all getting worse" pile on?
Maybe find something less soul destroying to do?

Make's Gillesphey look like Usain Bolt !!golfaddick said:
Indeed the 3rd goal doesn't look good. Didnt cover himself in glory for the 2nd eitherChunes said:
The third goal especially.WattsTheMatter said:
There is more pace and movement in a geriatric home than that back 3.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
If Bell is back soon, then a back 3 of him, Jones and Coady surely has to be an improvement on recent games?ElliotCAFC said:I don't mind him signing to be a leader and emergency cover should several CB's get injured at the same time, but if he's here to improve our defense, I'm suddenly very worried about our ability to bring in good players this week.
I get Coady had England caps and prem appearances, but the last England appearance was 4 years ago. Need I point out its been less time than that since Rousillon was in the Bundesliga?
I understand wanting signings, and he may add character, but we have a defence repeatedly exposed by anyone with pace or direct attacking quality - Coady makes this worse not better. I seriously implore you to watch the Wrexham highlights when he was in their team, particularly against QPR.

Some speculation that he wasn't good in the dressing room from a fan who probably doesn't know isn't hard evidence is it.thenewbie said:

Getting a decent defender is one thing, but if the keeper behind him is useless then its a pointless exercise0

With respect we need players good enough to go straight into the team because the ones we have arent doing the business, once that happens by all means fluff up the squad with cheerleaders. If he puts on the shirt he will get my support 100%, but that doesn’t mean we have to be pleased with it, or the profile of player we are in for.FirenzeAddick said:Sword65pf said:

At 19th in the league on this run of terrible form and absence of confidence, the exact opposite is trueFirenzeAddick said:It's not all about what a player brings at 3pm on a Saturday.

It is ONLY what he brings from 3pm to 4:55pm on a Saturday.
