Coady would be ideal. We need a solid base and a strong spine, allowing the likes of Million and Junho to do their thing at the other end of the pitch. Coady is the experienced head we need at the back, and a very good player too. He's only just turned 31, so has got 2 or 3 years left at least you'd imagine. No issues there. He hasn’t played regular football since the backend of 2022 though. We’ve been down this road too many times before.

Sheffield Utd was 11 season’s ago when he was cutting his teeth. Completely different player to he was then. If he signs we’ll see but it won’t be long before people on here are calling him an expensive flop if we stick him in a back 4 or moaning that we’re playing a back 3 to accommodate him when we clearly can’t play with a back 3. Pretty sure at Everton he barely played a game from about February onwards and was confined to the bench despite them getting beat every week. If we were in the PL would agree At this level he would be excellent in a back 4 If he signs I’ll be happy to be proven wrong and hold my hands up if he does. We can defo find cheaper and younger though.

The issue is everyone on here hates a back 3, you sign Coady and you’re setting your stall out to play a back 3 all season. Don’t think people quite understand this. He can’t play in back 4. Except when he played for Liverpool, Huddersfield, Sheffield United, Everton oh and of course England. From what I can see of his career he's the epitome of a versatile centre half being able to play in a 4 or a 3. He may not be able to hack it in a 4 (or a 3) at the top level anymore but he'd be a serious upgrade for us. Sheffield Utd was 11 season’s ago when he was cutting his teeth.

Says who? Plenty of articles online. Former managers and fans all have the same consensus. Wolves got rid because they switched to a back 4 and he was surplus. theathletic.com/3497591/2022/08/16/coady-dier-silva-wolves/

Slightly concerned with this sustained talk of Coady. Certainly seems there's something in it from the amount of mentions he's getting and the types we're said to be after If he cost £6-7m last summer, he's still worth £4-5m on their books and will no doubt be on massively top-end Champ money -and he's one who hasn't played regularly for 18 months, and maybe lacks a bit of pace and physicality - with the perception he's better in a back three too Obviously scores10/10 on the good character/leadership stuff that' been highlighted as something we're going to major on, but seems a massive premium for an early 30s player, albeit one with a good career People have really got the wrong perception of what type of player he is on here. He solves absolutely nothing.

Even the kit that Shtanuik is wearing? If so, you're the first person I've ever come across who didn't like that kit That one is easily the worst. The others are ok - inoffensive I guess - but the centred badge and the collar on the Shtaniuk one are horrible Sounds like the new one could be very similar.

The badge placement is…interesting Central then, as alluded to earlier in the thread? I've seen some of their Rugby shirts with centrally placed badges, they don't look too bad.

View AttachmentReading straight out the blocks in revealing their new home shirt, due to be released for sale next week I believe.. Potentially the similar styled collared to what's been mentioned above? Steady enough that, bit of red on too. A proper reading shirt.

The clamour for Coady on here is bizarre.
He's the exact type of signing that got us in the shit in this league to begin with.
The fact Leicester saw fit to spend £7m on him and then play him only 12 times speaks volumes.

Part of me feels like the TV companies are doing this on purpose to get fans all pissed off so they can convert the anger into pressure towards getting rid of the 3pm blackout. At this point with IPTV being so popular etc, I think the time has come to remove the 3pm blackout. I honestly don't think it will effect attendances because we're pretty much at the point now that people that want to go to the match go and the people that want to watch at home, watch at home. I don't know anybody that doesn't have access to 3pm Saturday games now.

I have seen a photo of the supposed new home top and the badge placement is weird it’s got the macron logo top centre just below the collar then the stoke badge underneath then the bet 365 logo below We’re due a shitter as the last 4 home shirts have all been bangers. I’ll reserve judgement til I see it but I’m not keen on central alignment of badges and logos.

Badge centred, no collar but pointed at the front to a V neck style, 3 thick stripes across the front and back (2 red and 1 white) separated by thinner black lines. Black shorts with red down the side, red socks with black on the top. Bet365 sponser front and below the number on the back. Away kit is purple and yellow Third kit black and red Goalkeepers not sure. Black shorts, you sure? Or is this what you would like to see rather than have seen?

PS1 silent hill is better than PS1 resi evil I ruined Silent Hill by renting it from the video shop and completing it in a weekend using a walkthrough guide I'd got with a playstation magazine. You are probably right though, Silent Hill 1 was better than Resident Evil 1. Resident Evil 2 however, that was a different animal completely. I loved that game.

Fucking annoys me way too much that Nike are lazy as fuck.
Nearly every team of theirs gets the same template shirt, with just different colours and badges.
Yet they never seem to get called out on it and everyone just accepts it.

The issue with Ryan Mmaee is he will never resemble a dog chasing a balloon, therefore there's a large section of our fanbase who simply won't have him. They tend to be the same fans that think Bae is weak, Arnie was lazy & N'Zonzi was idle. Bae has literally said himself that he’s increased his strength this season, so he must be wrong? People bang on like he gets blown over in the wind or is weak as piss in the tackle. Which just isn't true.

Mixed bag I think, with some time wide and deeper - But mostly as the main striker. linklinkHmmmm I'm not convinced he's what we need although it's getting to the point where I'm not sure what type of striker we need anymore

He got all their player of the year awards, but there seems to have been some debate about how much of a No.9 in a 4-3-3 he could be. Looks to have loads of potential though. I think he'd be too expensive to get permanently. How did Brum use him?

What’s all this lack of experience nonsense? He was Plymouth argyle manager for 2 years and previously a number 2 at Plymouth It’s another stick to try and justify all the shite posted about him In terms of managing in the Championship I mean. I’m not trying to do him down but it is true he has limited experience compared to most other managers. It’s why foreign managers can be hit or miss too, no two leagues are the same. Experience is overrated. Look at Danny Rohl at Sheff Weds, Kieran McKenna etc

That's just not true at all. Jesus Hates Christ, Even the winky thing didn't give it away. I was using Bayern;s comment about Cundle back at him. Of course Mahoef hasn't been shit but then neither has Cundle. haha apologies, i didn't realise that was Rival's version of the Winky emoji, the weird mouth position made me think it was something else ha.

I did. Totally overused here and quite frankly laughable he’s been mentioned about wanting to find a goalscorer 🤣 And tbh the last three home games have shown you can have the work and more talent. Junho and Manhoef are both much better footballers and still do the work needed. And don’t have it to compensate for other deficiencies either. But Manhoef's been shit up until this last couple of games. How can you be sure this is the real Manhoef and not the shit one who hid and didn't want to be involved in games we saw previously. That's just not true at all.
