2023/24 Seamus Coleman

[PhoenixIreland]

Ridiculous decision. Should have been shown the door. Will offer nothing in the coming season. What a waste of money!

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Why do you have to be an employed player to do this?

You don’t, but he’s still decent cover on the pitch too. Anyone who stops Ashley Young potentially getting minutes is performing a great service.

But he didn't do that last season?

[RomanReigns]

our biggest signing of the season

I like Seamus for most of the more obvious reasons - but I do hope that this is his last contract as an Everton player.

So you think he offers nothing?

 

[Nymzee]

So you think he offers nothing?

I wouldn't use the word nothing but he doesn't offer enough for a new PL-level contract.

All this "last season at Goodison" stuff is just pure sentiment. If BMD got delayed does he get a 2-year deal?

 

[mightymoyes]

surely its on reduced terms, like 25k p/w or something. that's what a sensible, skint club would do

 

[Eggs]

….clearly a huge influence on and off the pitch, we’ll need to scrap next season and it’s better that he’s involved. It sounds like a playing contract, so I imagine it’s on the same terms which is understandable.

Given we haven’t got a pot to pee in I think a one year deal on reduced wages is sensible.

Obviously can’t have him walking out on a zimmer, but the stadium won’t be delayed so it’s moot really.

 

[RomanReigns]

he won't be on a reduced wage

he would be on same wage or maybe a small pay increase

No chance he’s getting a pay increase. Aging players who know their career is winding down tend to get pay cuts.

i think you underestimate our negotiating power at the moment

we are skint and can't afford to replace him, we need him purely for squad numbers, coleman holds all the cards in this negotiating process

Well that softens the blow of Branthwaite leaving...
