I am surprised though. He would be their next reserve at centre back and is also the club captain. Big mark of respect from the club to him to allow him to make the move. A loan with an option to buy is a good deal for us as well. Signing a 29 year old as well as Tarkowski and Gueye who are even older isn't ideal for managing the age of the squad.

I didn't know that about the move to a back four. I do remember reading a while ago that Coady wasn't particularly comfortable in a back four when Wolves have used it on the odd occasion previously so makes sense I suppose.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted August 7, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2022 Find this surprising that Kilman is starting over him. I thought he was Wolves’ main man not so long ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left footed centre back, very adept with his feet, I think Kilman's quite rated at Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N U F C 171 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Very good signing for Everton actually, massive upgrade from Michael Keane. They’ve left it late but it actually look a like they’re going to sign some decently players, but we’ve thought that before with Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Very solid signing for Everton, him alongside Tarkowski/ Mina is a good first choice partnership to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I hope he'd be a bit gutted with himself that he's likely to end up at Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted August 8, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 8, 2022 Pleased with this one. Good work from the recruitment team to pick up Tarkowski and Coady without spending a transfer fee meaning that, even with Mina and Godfrey injured, we shouldn't have to play the lottery of which Michael Keane is going to turn up whenever he makes an appearance. I still have my reservations about Lampard's tactics and game management, but he's the first manager we've had post-Moyes who has identified the under performing squad players like Iwobi and Holgate who can actually do a job for us with a fresh start and some better guidance, whilst also seeing through the dead weight like Keane, Gomes, Gbamin, Davies, Delph who are/were never going to cut the mustard.

OrangeKhrush 296 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 so wolves sell him so they can play a back four, and coady can't play in a back four. then signs for a team that plays a back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played a back five against Chelsea and seem likely to continue now with a squad including Tarkowski, Mina, Coady, Holgate, Godfrey and Keane.

Lucas 3,827 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If Wolves have a central defensive crisis, this could seriously backfire. I really don't get why they would be prepared to let him go out on loan. I'd understand more if it was permanent but a loan seems strange. Only takes a couple injuries and they may regret that. Good signing for Everton though. They look a lot stronger in the defensive third of the pitch now, scoring goals will still be the issue mind.
