2024/25 Seamus Coleman

[GoldenToffee]

To me, it does sour his club-legend been-here-ages legacy somewhat.

Shouldn't have signed his previous contract, yet here we are with him still putting Ireland over Everton and taking yet another couple of million off the club.

Great work if you can get it.

Shameless Coleman...

…..worth every penny is Seamus Coleman, have no doubt about that

Some proper misery holes around.

Give ya heads a wobble. It’s right that Coleman leads us out at BMD, just as it was right he started the last game at Goodison.

He’s not gonna be playing every week, Moyes has said he values what Coleman brings off the pitch as a leader and man and also about what “Everton” is and means, moving into the new place with many new faces in the team.

No issue with it at all.

I was just begining to despair & then your post came along. Thank You.

I don’t want to see him playing anymore and that’s even if he manages to be fit enough to play. Even on reduced terms his contract will still be more than what he would of got as a coach and even in our situation with limited numbers it’s a poor decision from what’s meant to be a new era. Honestly don’t care if he walks out as captain in the new ground always loved having him here but overstayed his welcome as a player

It’s not right, it’s a major part of what’s wrong with Everton being too nice. Hes past it and can’t stay fit. Again I’m a massive Coleman fan one of my favourites but there becomes a time for everyone to move on and his was this season if not a few years ago.

He must value that about him, especially since he hardly manage to get onto the pitch since Moyes returned.

One point is: He wouldn't cost less in the coaching staff probably and we seem to look for a RB, despite having 2 main positioned there, but Patterson still isn't fully convincing yet and Coleman is aging and too often injured.

Hope Tete comes through. It would be 3 starting RBs, with Garner and O Brien also able to play that position in some cases. But at last someone I think would upgrade a team.

Testimonial next summer and then move on

Let me ask a question of some of the more miserable posters on here.
Do you think that TFG are billionaire business people , or are they soppy sentimentalists like BK ?
I would suggest that it is more likely that they are hard nosed analytical types.
They have a newly appointed backroom team that are presumably doing things in an efficient , business like manner.
The decision to extend Seamus's contact obviously makes business sense to them.
Some lads need to get a grip , and give their heads a wobble.

Good article from Joe Thomas


The deal to keep Coleman at the club, though announced on Friday, also felt like a relatively safe bet. For most of us, any uncertainty about whether he would remain at the club was removed when he left the pitch against Southampton bellowing instructions at his team-mates rather than with a tear in his eye akin to the obvious farewell display of Abdoulaye Doucoure an hour later.

The announcement of the new contract remains a big positive though. Yes, Coleman is 36 and his body has reduced him to a limited role in Moyes’ matchday plans. But he is the embodiment of modern Everton and no player’s character resonates with the fanbase as much as his.

He will not only be a tangible link between the dressing room and the seats at the new stadium, he will also be a trusted ally of Moyes who can set standards and make clear to the many new players who will arrive this summer exactly what it means to wear Royal Blue. To have his voice at a time of such change is useful.


While Coleman and, to an extent Moyes, represent a thread of Everton history running into the new era, the hope has long been that Branthwaite will be the symbol of the club’s future.

I just worry that 'modern Everton' has been too long a club happy to stay in the Prem and never challenge for trophies. Nobody disputes the fact that Coleman is a great guy, but to renew the playing contract of a player who can barely last twenty minutes is not good business.

TFG will let people do their jobs. The manager made it clear, twice, exactly why he wants him here as a player. It's fine that some can't accept that, but some of the things said here about him are a bit over the top.

He didn't offer himself the contract.

He didn't offer himself the last one.

People inside the team see his value.

People often quote the sixty grand thing without considering the tens of millions in signing on fees, wages and bonuses he has accrued in his time here. He was an excellent player, and I'm sure a top bloke, but he hasn't been value for money for many years as a player, which is why a playing contract defies reason and why so many posters have suggested a coaching contract would be a more reasonable solution.
