2021/22 Seamus Coleman

[PhoenixFirebird]

I am seeing so many posters on here saying he should just let some youngster take over for him.

Does Coleman select the team himself?
Does Coleman come into the team meeting and declare, "I am going to be playing today, the manager can go frix himself"?
Does Coleman deny other upcoming RBs (Are there any) to develop due to his insecurities?
Does Coleman have secret dossier on all the incoming managers in the world, that regardless of who comes here, they are forced to play him?

He seems to be honest-to-GOD kinda guy, just get his head down and work his butt off. The succession of managers obviously see something in him, during the training that encourages them to pick Seamus Coleman over the other, "waiting-for-Coleman-to-go" Cafus of the world.

He is getting past it, yes of course. Is it his fault that the club did not have the vision to foresee it and ease his burden.
The War horse analogy was so apt, it made me emotional.

Yes, that's what we are doing. We are flogging the old war horse to death, because we do not have the balls to complain to the brass about lack of alternatives. We are just fuxxing bullies taking out our anger on the horse, who is doing all it can to hold up its end. Yes, he will struggle as time passes but that is not due to his fault

*Rant over*

Yes, that's right. If we'd signed that lad Spence from Forest rather than a no mark sub from an ale house league I'd be all for Seamus being benched.

When was that mooted, don't recall it.

 

[Death]

This is dangerous disinformation.

You own every one of T-ro's albums. You can't get enough of Galway hip-hop. Don't deny it.

He's actually only on loan at Forest, so don't think teams were able to sign him in Jan.

Why Middlesborough loaned him to Forest, I have no idea though to be fair.

 

[Nyhus]

No, it was a risky pass because it was passed back into the danger zone needlessly whilst there was an attacker in the box. Schoolboy error of a pass.

I disagree. If Pickford didnt miss the ball, noone would look at that pass twice. It was a very normal pass to the keeper to get the ball out of our own area under pressure.

It wasn't. And that's my point. If we had we wouldn't be umming and ahhing over who gets the RB slot.

Then Boro would have been made up to get £16M or whatever we paid for that sub of rangers'.

It's difficult though to sign a player who is on loan at another club. Forest will have their own deal in place for the season. You'd have to cancel the loan before you could buy the player. I can't think of many examples where a player on loan at a club is bought by another club during the loan. It's probably not practical.

£16m doesn't get you the best championship players anymore either. Olly Watkins for example went for double that. I'm all for signing the best championship players by the way, but I'm not sure this one was an option in January. Johnson is the player at Forest who we should be making a main target. Unfortunately he will probably have bigger clubs interested than us.

Then be patient and tell Boro we'd get him at the end of the season. It.s not like we're using the sub from Scotland a lot now like is it?

You are so odd Dave.

No, but we have a lot of games, especially midweek games coming up.

We already have lost Godfrey who can cover full back. You need a squad for playing twice a week. I hope we end up with very few issues, but who knows what sort of injuries we will pick up.

Hes just agenda driven with every post he makes.

He praises Coleman simply to have a pop at Rangers.

Hes the best there has ever been, a true genius at work.

Odd for wanting an accomplished young RB?

Yeah, I suppose for an Everton fan that does make me *odd*.

People will do PHDs on your work in years to come Dave.
