Coates got the cut over Kaboul for mainly fitness reasons, but if we can keep "The Bull" fit, there's no reason why he can't make colossal contributions week in week out. At £3m, you can't go wrong, especially for a defender of Kaboul's stature. Good in the air, commanding and according to Jermain Defoe "a natural leader".
