BLADES bid for Coady?

[rodcurrie]

Accordin to a thread on S2(soz Marvin) we've bid for Conor Coady,to be fair most on theer are sayin yes if it was true but doubt it's true.He was one that definately played better under Son of Brian than he did under Weir but then dint all the players? UTCB

[CHIPBUTTYBLADE]

Wolves Team Capt,cant see this happening at all Rod.

TB on S2 board who gets info says it's cobblers

That is one person from Treeton who speaks some sense

[shorehamoldboy]

be a great signing but cant see it happening bidding will start at 4mill anyway

[BlockD]

CW has confirmed tonight on RS that we have bid for Coady is this the big signing we are after?

I nearly ran into the back of a tram when Christopher confirmed that,he needs to suck on a Fishermans Friend btw

[toronto_blade]

Wilder says he has placed a bid but it would be a big surprise if the wolves would let their captain go unless it is a big offer.They are a promotion contender.

[rodcurrie]

That is one person from Treeton who speaks some senseOh dear Inspector Closeau,looks like this fella from Treeton is correct re;Coady.:P UTCB

[blades58]

Express & Star say that Coady is in the last 12 months of his contract

The Star says he is thought to be surplus to requirements after Santos's summer recruitment drive :O

The Wolves fans tho seem up in arms about the bid saying he aint for sale

[blades58]

Haven't seen it, but apparently Mirror says "bid rejected"

Nowt new there then :(

[shorehamoldboy]

yeah bid rejected but would be a fantastic signing he can play midfield or centre back and i think he would come back here or maybe its just a tactic to get things moving with the leonard lenighan bids ?

...when the big club comes calling...etc etc

Wilder says he has placed a bid but it would be a big surprise if the wolves would let their captain go unless it is a big offer.They are a promotion contender.
Would be very surprised if they would let him move on to another championship club but would be strange to place a bid if no indication of a move had not been hinted at.
Having looked what was on offer v Walsall it shows how little back up to the recognised first team squad excluding Lafferty and hopefully a getting fitter Evans.
We do need to acquire more quality in defence ad up front.
Wilder knows what he wants and needs the financial backing.

[FatherKnowsBest]

...,he needs to suck on a Fishermans Friend btw

Isn't he in enough trouble already...(it'll make sense if you know the joke...)

[FatherKnowsBest]

Anyway, Coady. Why not? he was said to have loved it here first time around. Oh, if only the Prince would spend some moneyand buy us some players.

[GrayBlade]

I'd love to have him back, but I just don't see how we'd get him within our pay structure even if Wolves are happy to sell him.

[FatherKnowsBest]

Ill leave the question of wages to King Kev. Big signing on fee, bonus structures, theres always a way round any problem, so long as the player wants to come. Hes undoubtedly better than what we've got.

[GrayBlade]

Rumoured to be currently on not much more than Brayford £15k plus. If true just hope this isn't another Ricky Holmes saga where we are used to bump up wages and get a new contract. Would like us to get the bids in quick rather than let it drag on and then we can move onto other targets.
My point is though LST and FTB that Wilder has made his point on several occasions that he didn't want some players way outside the pay scale as he thought it bred unrest (nods towards the Pork).

Apart from Brayford who is an historical anomaly that we're trying to rectify, I think only Sharp will be well above of the new pay scale and he justifies it by being a prolific goal scorer and club captain. Are the likes of Fleck and Coutts and other better player for instance going to just shrug it off if we bring in a player on 3 times their salary especially after we've banged on about not breaking our wage cap so many times? I understand what FKB means, but if we got around it by using the signing on fee, you can bet that it wouldn't be long before others found out.

Maybe it's something that we have to do and it's good to see us showing ambition (if true), but I believe we've got something good going for us and wouldn't like to see it start to wain.

[Blade for Life]

I thought Coady was quality in is spell with us and with Tufty as manager he could get better. However £2million is a lot and Leonard looks better value, leaving more in the pot for a CB and a bit of premiership loan pace upfront. All rumours of course.

[bulmer1889]

Leonard won't look better value if we've already bid what chris thinks he's worth !

[Blade for Life]

Leonard won't look better value if we've already bid what chris thinks he's worth ! Very true but then neither of us know if that is the case or whether Wilder is leaving this late. Just like we have no idea what the real bid is for Coady. All rumours and different opions, which is what makes a football forum more interesting.

[Evewolf65]

Nuno has made him Captain at Wolves so I doubt he is going anywhere.

[FatherKnowsBest]

Nuno has made him Captain at Wolves so I doubt he is going anywhere.

I think he was pretty much universally liked here, so we'd have him back like a shot. If its not to be then we'll move on. Good to hear he's making progress with you. He's a nice lad and a good player...

Yeah he's a good lad, Nuno has given him a central role in the middle of a back 3 and he seems to be thriving on it. Best wishes for the Season ahead except for yer games against us!

[bulmer1889]

Suggs will no doubt be ecstatic to hear there will be no naked OAPs performing in his bay front

2 things i would like to say to you Sir,1 our neighbours who are a much betterer and biggerer club than our 2 clubs put together say can you stop singing their song,they sung it as far back as 1867 i will have you know,2 I believe that big fat tub of lard is from Wolverhampton,the one who takes his shirt off

That is all,have a good season,beat the arrogrunts twice please

[shorehamoldboy]

i think coady would be a fantastic signing if we could pull it off deffo worth 2mill imo can play rcb centre back and midfield wages the issue undoubtedly but theres ways round it for me be a better signing than lenighan and leonard will arrive in january i think

I was a bit gobsmacked that we let Wolves snatch him from under our noses to start with FKB. And for what? £300k?

[Holden_C]

It was Huddersfield who then sold him to Wolves.

I stand corrected H. Didn't Udders pay Liverpool something like £300k? Still can't believe we let him slip through our fingers.
