2022/23 Seamus Coleman

[windymiller]

First up, Seamus has been a great servant, no doubt. However, one of the best servants in the history of a club that has won 9 titles and 5 FA cups despite winning nothing and being involved in numerous relegation battles is a complete nonsense. Bill, as usual, can do one.

It's a team effort not individual. If Messi was in that Everton team over the last few years do you think he would have won anything?

You serious lad?? The team struggled big time when he was out of the team season gone. Defence looked a whole lot more solid with Coleman in it than without him especially under Dyche. Right back was one of the least weak points when he started in the team. If you consider him to be gash, what words do you use for Holgate and Godfrey when they filled in at right back? Plus if he did retire it would cost the club a hell of alot more to fill his gap over the next year than him staying

This is the sad reality.
Colemans definetly past his best, slowing down alot but the intelligence is still there.
I would bite your hand off to replace him with someone 'better'
But right now our over the hill right back walks straight into the side as the other options we have are pure turbo gash

I'm not saying he's not a good player, but he's not close to top 10 at Everton, even in my lifetime.

Coleman is still and will be known as an Everton Legend, Just cos We haven't won anything in his tenure doesn't change that fact at all and isn't down to him !!
The Lad is a True Evertonian and always will be..
His blood runs blue and he would do anything for this club.
It will be a sad day when he finally hangs his boots up...

Bring back Baines while we're at it

He’s gash. He won’t retire whilst he can still make more money off us.

Have to hope Patterson goes injury free.

Unless Patterson played.

They are also gash, not sure why you assumed otherwise. We can have more than one gash player at a time.

Plus it’s already sorted, Dave keeps telling me Garner is our RB so with Patterson we now don’t need Coleman at all except maybe for his fist pump next April when we’re 1 point from safety and just beaten Luton.

Bring back Baines while we're at it

Why not?
He’d still be a lot better than what we have.

I'm still waiting for Jags' and Baines' testimonials

The point is Messi wouldn't have been in this Everton team because truly great players no longer play for Everton. If Coleman had been a truly great player, he would have been picked off by the money clubs. He wasnt. That tells you something.

A great servant. An honest player. But by the standards of greatness this club used to uphold historically, Seamus is a footnote.

Kenwright is a past master at overwrought sentimentality. He is pushing at an open door with many Evertonians. They want to believe Seamus was a player of historic significance. It's partly why Kenwright has so successfully maintained control over the club for so long. He plays on sentiment to the extent that he is happy for it to degenerate into lies...that we would all so dearly love to believe.

By claiming Seamus was such a great player, he can claim the good times keep rolling and he has provided Evertonians with great players. It's self-serving, but he's got a ready market willing to buy his snake oil laced with sentiment.

why does kenwright even have to say anything?
