Why Leicester should rid themselves of Conor Coady ASAP | OneFootball

Conor Coady was clearly a bad buy for Leicester City. However, he's gone somewhat underneath the radar in multiple ways. All of which point to the fact that he should probably have been been sold or loaned in January. When he puts in an immobile and ineffectual performance, it's slightly less noticeable because the Foxes defence is so poor all-round.

In addition to that Coady was, and still is, sort of surplus to requirements at King Power Stadium. Yes, City get the odd injury and suspension but roughly three senior centre backs at the club are preferable. Yet one aspect of Coady's personality has really caught our attention here; on two occasions he's really let the side down. Of course he's not the only one to have done that this season.

This is not to say that the one-time Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton star is all bad. He exhibits superb vision and passing ability at times. Furthermore, the England international will risk his own body for the cause to block any shot. Nevertheless, not selling Coady was yet another transfer market error in a long line of mistakes from LCFC bosses. So, why should the east Midlands team really rid themselves of the defender as soon as possible?

Leicester City don't need pseudo-wise team leader Conor Coady

Coady is an old school defensive man. And I have a soft spot for that. But he's a bit antiquated these days. An ill-advised signing.

The 31-year-old also likes to advertise himself as the old pro who's done it all. He hasn't; many Foxes have achieved more. Shockingly, Coady's the joint fourth highest paid Fox.

Most concerning for Leicester supporters is Coady positioning himself as an unneeded player/coach type too. We previously witnessed Steve Cooper's unnecessary sideline grooming in that respect.

Coady's participation in the Copenhagen party directly after losing to Chelsea was particularly disappointing. Others got off lightly there as well.
