Remember when Moyes said he wants robust players and those who will be available -- then said he couldnt judge DCLs fitness in a short time.

Just look how 'robust' Coleman is.

People forget how much guff spoke when he was here first time. Short memories.

Id be surprised if he even plays 10 games tbh but I never thought we would offer him AND Young contracts. Any actual money signings better be reasonably decent ones otherwise the fanbase is going to get very grumpy.

Apart from the fact seamus is 1000× the leader dcl is...

He also isn't expected to be first choice and be on 6 figures a week

Coleman is doing or has done some coaching badges and will be good to have around the squad, maybe even a future manager

Worrying about getting a new RB and worrying about Coleman and Young is the same thing, FFS.

It would be if he planned on starting Coleman or Young but he wont.

 

[Bryan+]

Is he doing his badges?

Seamus Coleman is one of the greatest servants Everton Football Club have ever had, he is up there with anyone we have had. We all know, and I am sure he knows, his best days are behind him. I hope that the club do not patronise him and just give him another year if he has no chance of getting a game. I would like to think Seamus would not want a sympathy vote. Talk of giving Young another year surprises me but I am hopeful that things have changed at the club and we have a proper plan for this window.

I`m not questioning whether they are Irish or not, but in terms of them learning the game and developing into players that could play at the top level, the English game produced them as footballers. When the money started coming into football in the 90`s the suits in the FAI looked after themselves rather than using the money coming into the game to develop footballers in Ireland.

That’s true. No argument from me there. Irish football deserves its current appalling state as it tolerated and, frankly, celebrated the corrupt charlatan John Delaney. Fans drank booze from his shoes at one point…

 

[The T-Dex]

What other clubs do this out of curiosity? The only one I can think of is Joel Ward at Palace and he's retiring.

Tom Cairney is Fulhams, but has started nearly no games this season but is club captain AFAIK.

So why are we renewing both? One, maybe I can see the logic, but both? Where does he envisage them playing if not RB?

Granted both seems a bit extreme.
I'm guessing Young is versatile and Coleman is the club captain
But I'd imagine it's more a case of them being respected as senior members of the squad who'll be needed for a huge transition.
Pickford is great but a bit of a lunatic!
Tark also great but I wouldn't trust anyone who listens to that bell Rogan to lead anything.
Like I said, Moyes wanting to keep these two could be considered questionable but hardly worth worrying about, at least for me anyway.

 

[Daytripper]

I thought he might of retired and gone into coaching this summer.

He's off at the end of the season, Wrexham possibly I read somewhere yesterday. That just leaves us and ole Seamus now

Good luck today. Always liked Coleman.
