A look on social media in the immediate aftermath of Everton announcing they would not be signing Conor Coady raised eyebrows.
It was last August when Frank Lampard and Kevin Thelwell made the decision to bring the centre-back to the club. Everton beat West Ham United to Coady’s signature.
A life-long Liverpool fan and a product of the Anfield club’s Academy, Coady’s move back to Merseyside left many surprised, not least because he had done so well at Wolverhampton Wanderers, clocking up 317 appearances, but also because the destination was Goodison Park.
