Yes he's better than Coutts.
He might be better than Coutts but I don't think its an area that we need to spend the type of money thjat we'd need to buy Coady. He would probably cost us £3m and I personally would rather see us spend that type of money on a top forward (maybe Ched answers that now - if fit) and at the back. It's the defence that worries me the most in the league above. We need a top quality centre back and in my view a better left wing back.
Back to Coutts, I think he is more than capable of doing a decent job in the Championship and I think it would be an unnecessary risk to break up the Fleck and Coutts partnership.
The problem is that £3m doesn't get you a top championship striker. You're looking at £8m - £10m for one of those.

Honest question, I haven't really thought about how I feel but do you think Coutts is just the sort of player that complements Fleck or is he just a similar yet watered down version of him?He might be better than Coutts but I don't think its an area that we need to spend the type of money thjat we'd need to buy Coady.

At what? Making tea?Yes he's better than Coutts.
Great point.At what? Making tea?
Coutts isn't a championship playerNo improvement on Coutts so it's a no from me..
Coutts isn't a championship player
Coutts isn't a championship player
And that's based on? It won't be long before we discover exactly whether Coutts, as well as those other players who are retained by Wilder, can deliver in the Championship. I know a forum entitles everyone to air their opinions, but often all they do is confirm that a forum version of football punditry has little understanding of what a player is capable of. If Coutts disappoints then we move on, but if he shows the same levels of excellence that he has this season then surely any Unitedite would be happy, wouldn't they? You are a Unitedite aren't you Chris?
At what? Making tea?
What because he doesn't rate Coutts he's not a unitedite? Is that how this works
Coutts might just put his spoon in!
Why are people questioning Coutts' ability to play in the Champ even though he's already played not far off 100 games in it for P'boro, Preston and Derby?
If it weren't for his awful injury he certainly wouldn't have spent the last couple of years playing in L1.
The problem with coutts for me is that he doesn't get back in or track back and usually ends up with him taking a yellow card. That being said, that did improve towards the end of the season but he has question marks for me.
I don't disagree with your points or that he lacks a yard of pace. However, he has the ability to control and dictate games and links well with Fleck. CW obviously needs to follow the golden rule when building effective teams of recruiting to cover areas of weakness and a big, physical central midfielder enforcer would be a welcome addition to the squad.
I think that's where a player like coady would be good. A ying to flecks yang with coutts in the middle of both for example. Not sure I would turn up at villa park with our current midfield 3 as a tactic
