2017/18 Seamus Coleman

[Brisan123]

I don’t think it was too soon

And this is a lad who you reckoned shouldn’t have been given a new contract because he was injured , even though the deal was agreed just not signed.
It’s just as well the club have a bit more class than that.

Also if you go right through the Coleman threads, like most other players he’s took a lot of stick on this forum too at times. Luckily we know what he can do and stick by him whatever. We should remember this with all the younger players.

Always had class. I hope the young lads come good, but some on here put them way way higher than they are or ever will be

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Inspiring last night. But that gut busting run late around the 94th minutes tells the whole story. Pure class. We missed you big time Seamus.
Looks like Walcott and him will get along just fine.

Indeed:

@jinkyali, @d4kyxx, @BurnhamBlue, @Kev50 , @a bell maul, @moyeslovechild, you have been summoned before the court. Repent or be destroyed

Some I’ve found and called out , others had hidden behind their profile

 

[Brisan123]

Can someone remind me why the "should Coleman come straight back into the team when he's fit?" shouts were a thing?

What about the lads that were shouting we should have binned him off when he got injured

 

[jinkyali]

Aye, your great accountant's insight would have had us fob off a loyal world class RB we bought for 60k as soon as he broke his leg.

Its been one game pal.

Fact of the matter is it was a huge risk giving an extensive contract to someone with a double broken leg. Would you be so keen if it was someone like Martina? No, didnt think so.

And as for world class...at times, very rarely.
Loyal? No footballer is loyal.

 

[jinkyali]

So you think it’s right for a club to renege on a pre agreed deal just because the player gets injured
I’d be shocked if that lot in the pit done that never mind Everton
Football doesn’t work that way thankfully

With respect, was it common knowledge that it was pre agreed prior to the injury? I am not so sure it was.
Football works in worse ways I agree.

Like comparing Cafu with Hibbert

Whoever then. Someone who the lad doesnt rate. Its irrelevant.

 

[electricblue]

he needs to retire from international duty now. !

Not a chance.

For us Evertonians who are also Ireland fans he is the ultimate hero. Both teams desperately need him.

I genuinely can't think of a player I've liked more.

No you'e comparing offering a great injured player a contract with a terrible player. There is a difference

 

[Pabbers]

Skipper, seriously give it him now.

There was no guarantee that he was ever going to be the same following that tackle, and for Everton to commit 15-20m to him on that basis was high high risk. I am delighted it looks like he’s back to his best but I would still query it if we did it again.

 

[paulbefc]

Couldn't believe what I was watching when he did that 60-yard run in stoppage time ffs.

 

[rochdaleblue]

You could see the emotion he felt with the reception he got, he alluded to this in his interview. As ever (being the true professional he is) he spoke about putting it to the back of his mind, as he wanted to concentrate on the game. Allardyce spoke of him being a role model to all young players at the club. He has a real connection with not only the fans, but also the staff at the club. How he isn’t club captain, I will never know. Leads by example, every time he is on the pitch and a real ambassador for the club off it.

 

[roydo]

Please tell me Blues arnt rowing about the Club giving him an agreed contract when his leg was shattered? It was well known an extension had been discussed, and Seamus himself said he was made up when Bill and him signed it in hospital/at home.
