And that, is officially that. The end of an era.
Was just saying at the pub, Ruben Conor and Adama all leaving within a week of each other feels like the end of something. Three iconic players in this little part of our history.Him and Neves leaving really hits home that the greatest period of supporting Wolves in my lifetime is over. Gutted!
End of our songs?Was just saying at the pub, Ruben Conor and Adama all leaving within a week of each other feels like the end of something. Three iconic players in this little part of our history.
This is another issue, we’ve lost Coady, neves, adama, moutinho - that’s 4 songs gone. Just need Raul to go and no songs left, apart from the 1970’s classics and that Jeff goes to France songEnd of our songs?
TRUELegend.
If Neves is a legend then Coady is too.I wouldn't call him a legend (a word that is thrown around too often these days). Ruben Neves is a Wolves legend, before that you're going back to Bully to find the last. Like Doherty though, Conor's is a very inspirational story of how a player can turn a middling career around under the right management (Nuno) to achieve heights unimagined. When he scored for England, I went mental because it felt like a culmination of all that. He has earned a great deal of respect.
Not knocking Conor but he owes everything to Nuno, who transformed him from a jobbing Championship midfielder on the verge of being bombed out, into an inspired sweeper in a back three. He was brilliant and bled gold and black - until the first sign that his place was under threat, then he bailed. No more a legend than Doherty in that respect. In my opinion, he also got too pally with his mates in the media who have taught him the PR game - comes across as ingratiating to whichever club he's at.If Neves is a legend then Coady is too.

Kinda comes down to how you define “legend” .If Neves is a legend then Coady is too.
Hopefully they don't play us again any time soon, can't stand them and their crap fans. Good luck to Conor though, a top lad and a big part of our incredible success under Nuno.All good things come to an end.
We shouldn't let the last 12 months cloud what he has done for us. We don't know the full circumstances and I'm sure all parties could have handled it better... including us, the fans.
I will be watching him play for Leicester with interest and wish him success, except for when they play us.
Watching him play and score for England was a particular highlight but those seasons we had when we went up and finished 7th both times will remain at the top of the list. The man bought into Wolves and I'm sure he is sad to be leaving. Another whose kids have grown up in Wolverhampton and a top quality family man who gave his all for us while he was here.
He was an extremely important piece in the jigsaw under Nuno and I'l never forget that pre-season game against, ironically enough, Leicester, when we all saw the new system play out in a beautiful way.
Thank you Conor Coady. Wish you every success and happiness both now and after your football career has finished.
Or neither are.....If Neves is a legend then Coady is too.
Well, true!Or neither are.....
Both had different stories but both created so many memories for us as fans. I think in 30+ years we’ll still be talking about Neves as one of our greatest players and Coady as one of our greatest captains.Not knocking Conor but he owes everything to Nuno, who transformed him from a jobbing Championship midfielder on the verge of being bombed out, into an inspired sweeper in a back three.

Ruben OTOH came to Wolves as a Champions League player in England's second tier, was consistently outstanding and loyal to Wolves, even as he was touted with the biggest clubs in Europe. He continually shelved his desire to play in the Champions League, and was even willing to sign an extension if a move didn't happen this Summer rather than leave on a free and have the pick of Europe's elite. Bully levels of commitment to the club at the expense of his career.
The tears in his farewell video speak a thousand words. Just a different level of connection to anyone else from the Nuno era. Almost spiritual.

Seriously... what difference does it really make? Both are now gone. Both are moving on with their lives. Why is there a choice to make?Exactly this for me.
Neves gave Wolves more than Coady did in my eyes.
Coady owes Wolves far more.
See this gets me a bit. I loved Coady to bits and understood his move to Everton but he was very careless with his words, and even now his two line sentence feels shallow.He never relocated to Wolverhampton though.
His kids grew up in Liverpool and the whole my kids are wolves fans lasted no time at all
They were in Everton kits last year and now they're little foxes as his Mrs has put on Instagram.
Coady was good for Wolves but Wolves owe him nothing.
He made the right noises whilst he was here can't fault him.
To be fair to Coady travelling from Merseyside to Wolvo is rather easier than from Portugal so.....He never relocated to Wolverhampton though.
