Agreed. He's got Gerrard's greed, but not anywhere near the skill or pace. Decent leader but the real star of the midfield in the under 21s has got to be Roddan. That guy is like a cross between Kuyt and Lucas. Doesn't pass as well as Lucas, but has more pace and runs harder. He carries Coady in every game I see (which is all of them this season and a fair few last season) Hoping for Suso to move up, Roddan could make it, Teixiera will move into Suso's slot too. This is why Dempsey makes sense for us, he's a 2 year (maybe 3) stop gap while these midfielders mature.
Every time I see Coady, he reminds me of Carragher if he played in CM. Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit, but that's how I see him. He seems like he's happiest when the game's passing him by. Something I noticed in the next-gen games was the absurd amount of our play that went purely down the wings, and how little of it occured in the centre
