And something from DoF and above have constantly let us down with, to be honest being a defender for Everton must be a complete nightmare, when you see the poor quality in front of you every game.

Matt Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Apparently 30 today and wearing number 30. Some random stat going around BBC that he's only the 2nd player to have his age match his shirt on his birthday. Where do they come up with this?

c1982 Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 Makes sense to keep him with Mina going and potentially Keane and hopefully Holgate. Branthwaite needs to be integrated - Tarkowski will once again be first choice (not missed a minute all season) and Godfrey will get his fair share. Coady is a leader - we lack these already and with Mina leaving we’d be losing one of our biggest characters - £5m isn’t a lot even in our position and he’s steady and reliable and usually fit.

Goodison Glory Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I keep hearing "only keep coady if we play a back 3" - where does that come from - genuine question - was he in a back 3 at wolves or something? It's no one on here that has said that, I've just read it in multiple other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no one on here that has said that, I've just read it in multiple other places. Well, he's a midfielder that is a pretty poor defender in reality. At Wolves they played a 3 at the back so he could stand in defence as a midfielder that didn't have to do much defending and could just be a midfielder in essence. Then they wanted to move to a 4 at the back and felt he couldn't play as one of 2 CB's so fucked him off and we picked him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, I hope Branthwaite is given a go to prove himself and takes his chance and cements his place as a first choice CB alongside Tarkowski. I don't want to see Coady playing often at all. I remember when I kept hearing Townsend would just be a filler signing! StevO, duncanmckenzieismagic, Sibdane and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I guess we have to sign him, we aren't going to get better value for money and need a few players through the door this summer. To be fair, he was very sturdy at the beginning of the season and isn't a bad option to have. I hope we will be replacing Mina with a strong CB who can start alongside Tarks, but I doubt it.

I mostly agree, but if Branthwaite doesn't work out (he's done well in a weaker league, so it's far from guaranteed) then Coady is a relatively competent and affordable 4th choice StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By contrast, Everton shipped in a whopping 27 goals from 14 games - or 1.93 per game. Soooo, our best defender conversation isn't going away is it?

Wiggytop Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Bloody hell the Echo is just so poor in its quality, their article reads like The Toffees and Everton are two different teams with the bit Matt has copied over. To save anyone clocking to the echo, it should read with Coady 29 in 23 and without 27 in 14. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 He’s better than Keane & Holgate no doubt. Tarks, Coady, Branthwaite & Godfrey is a decent start at CB unless Dyche has someone better than Coady lined up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
