Rangers suffer Conor Coady transfer setback amid Leicester update

Leicester City must offload unwanted and undesirable players. And I would place the overrated, underperforming and bad influence Conor Coady right into those negative categories. The Foxes would be much better off without overpaid professional with too much undue influence like the former Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers centre back.

A man who wants to portray the image of a leader and imposing defensive man, Coady was truly revealed to be over-the-hill and out-of-his-depth in the Premier League last season. Maybe that's why he is said to be actively pushing for a move to the definitely tough yet relatively uncompetitive Scottish Premiership. Even the Championship might be too much for the rather immobile defender who somehow commands a wildly unrealistic, unacceptable and unfathomable reported £75,000-per-week.

What are LCFC playing at?! An ageing, uninfluential, inconsequential and ineffective footballer on that salary is just footballing suicide from the massively out of touch powers-that-be on Filbert Way!

Rangers suffer Conor Coady transfer setback amid Leicester City update

Rangers' Champions League Second Round qualification matches kick-off against Panathinaikos in just under three weeks. The squad from Scotland wanted to tie up a deal for the St Helens-born ex-England international (I know, right?!) before that competition begins.

To be fair, the Light Blues could still conceed to giving the East Midlanders what they have presumably demanded in order to get the deal done by July 22. However, Russell Martin will have wanted Coady to have time to settle and assimilate to his ethos at Ibrox.

Unfortunately for the Gers, Coady returned for the first day of practice at Leicester's Seagrave Training Centre on Monday, June 30. If an agreement was close with Rangers, the 32-year-old would have been given the opportunity to complete his move.

That way, Coady would have avoided an awkward trip to the place he's been trying to leave in the lurch for over six months. Some fans have picked up on the slightly subtle negativity surrounding the player. The impact of his Copenhagen antics and transfer requests are coming back to haunt.
