Wot? You actually serious?
A club employee has a set back so the club just sit on their arse and dont give the player the security and moral boost he said at the time was massive to him?

No, because he's rubbish.

The lad suffered a horrendous injury. Who knows if the club agreeing to honour his contract despite the injury, gave him a lift in his lowest period following the tackle, then who cares. The way he played last night, it was like he’d never been away.

It's a risk, but not a huge risk. The likelihood is he would recover and make a return at some point, but there is always the chance he wouldn't.
Weighing up the positives (Coleman's superb track record as a player and the contribution he makes on the pitch) against the risk level (paying his wages for a few years), it's an absolute no brainer to keep him at the club on an extended contract.

Name me one player that had a similar injury and didn't return to the level they were at before.
It's a broken bone. In 2017/18. He was always going to return and be fine.
Ask Aaron Ramsey.
So your saying its ok to renege on it if its someone who is , in your words, a terrible player?
Eduardo.
I dont think many were aware it was discussed prior to the injury.
It just appeared out the blue if I recall.

He confirmed pre injury that he wasn't that good.
Although I am changing the goal posts.
Good shout Jinks. I'll bugger back off.

You underestimate Seamus' determination sir.
I think there could be an argument for the way Ross Barkley goes into tackles that mentally he has never recovered from his broken leg.
One of Coleman's biggest strengths is his mental state.

Risk with players and recoveries often comes down to intangibles, how dedicated are they. When you have a player in house for the better part of a decade you know their character very well. That means it was pretty low risk to offer the contract to a guy you knew would work his butt off to be better than ever.
With some random transfer from another team you didnt know? Sure. But not with Coleman.

It looks a great move now, but no if it was my money i wouldn’t have committed it with the future looking so precarious. This is a contract like any other, and one of the parties to that contract is a sportsman operating in an arena where tiny fractions count, and his leg has just been badly broken.in two places. It was a wonderful gesture but it was also one hell of a gamble
Ask Brian Oviedo

Bit speculative that one but Eduardo was a good shout.
