2025/26 Seamus Coleman

He 100% didn't retire in the Summer because he knew he had a chance of qualifying for this 500 team World Cup.

Yeah definitely, and he didn’t retire 2 years ago because he had his eye on the Euros etc etc.

I don’t blame him for continuing to turn up and take the wage offered to him, honestly. It’s on the football club that. My problem isn’t even with Coleman, it’s with the way some people talk about him like some god like deity who bleeds blue and would die for the club. That’s a section of the fanbase that’s come up with that one. On the evidence I’ve observed, I would question it personally.

To be fair I would be interested to learn his motivations for not saving his legs by retiring from international football years ago.

It's because he's very patriotic. A man who loves his family and their Country first and foremost but fell in love with the club he has always openly stated he fell in love with.

But yeah, let's pour hate on an Evertonian from the safety of our keyboards.
 

We all love Seamus for the service he’s given the club and he was pretty decent a few years back.

It’s hardly controversial though to say that as a player he’s been a complete waste of time for the last 2 seasons. His last 2 starts for us he can’t even make it to half time.

Based on the manager's comments when we've been at our lowest ebb, Seamus felt every bit as hurt as we did and he made sure our players understood the importance of keeping us in the Premier League. We stayed up, we survived. He dragged those teams over the line. My Captain.

Be as sentimental as you like, but at the end of the day we a PL football club and if he’s not on the pitch, his influence on PL football matches is marginal in reality.

You can like him as an individual but realise he’s useless as a player to us. Fawning over him doesn’t get us anywhere.

Clearly our survival wasn’t quite important enough for him to preserve his aging legs by retiring from playing in some waste of time international dead rubbers, in order to give himself the best chance of getting onto the pitch to assist us.

You know nothing about the whys and wheres of his contract situation. Time and time again our various managers over the years have hailed Coleman's character. But "you question it personally"...

I'm not Irish but Coleman is my favourite Everton player ever & I think some of the comments on here are out of order.
He's been a great player & Captain for us & deserves respect not this online rubbish.
Match goers on the whole still love & support him.

Exactly this. But the racist little gimps wouldnt dare pipe up in real life - but then again they never go to a match so who cares.

:lol: what, is South Stand Steve from Dingle gonna fill me in for suggesting Coleman has prioritised country over club during the toughest years in our history?

One of them up the thread there though says he'd confront Coleman and tell him he's rubbish to his face.
 
Coleman's mustard

He's an old coat now but no doubt offers something. Us on the outside probably have no idea of what that might be nor how important it is

Any idea what his wages are?
 
Personally I don’t see the point of him being employed as a player. Should be coaching staff or not at all. Was a great player for us but the players on the pitch need to take responsibility for team spirit etc. Happy for him to go the route of Baines but to earn a wage now as a player is a bit of a stretch. Tarks, Pickford and other senior players should be the ones to rally the troops now.
