2017/18 Seamus Coleman

[Jags]

It's not the 60s mate.

There's deffo a possibility he could lose a yard of pace, but as you say in this day and age, there's every chance he could make a full recovery. Its a case of fingers crossed I reckon.

 

[mkrudden]

Hate to be a downer as Seamus is boss and I want him back to his best, but I can't see him being anywhere near that after such a bad injury.

What past player / medical basis are you citing for this?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Looking forward to his return, the RB spot is well and truly his.

There's no medical reason that he can't be the same when he comes back, his issue will be psychological imo, going into a 50/50 etc will be a massive hurdle for him to overcome. We saw similar with Baines after he'd wrecked his ankle twice.

Y def, but thats why he needs to come back 100% ready. He neeeds to know in his own head that the leg is not going to give way, it'll do what his head and instincts ask of it. Doubt is the killer to form.

 

[Pete Campbell]

He won't be back and fully confident until around February imo.

 

[dav]

will come back stronger and come out fighting. hope he waits till 100% and not rush

 

[dublinbluenose]

Has anyone told Jags yet

 

[Milkman]

Has anyone told Jags yet

Can't wait to hear his new material.

Henrik Larsson came back from the same injury as good as ever and he had a long and successful career.

How old is Seamus?

 

[dublinbluenose]

How old is Seamus?

He'll be 29 in October

 

[bluekangaroo]

He'll be 29 in October

Back in time for his two years of prime before the decline begins

 

[blueblue]

Physically he will be fine.
The problem will be mentally getting over the fear of another break , but when people have been talking about Coleman it has been about his mental strength. There will of course be a period of fear for him, but because of the man he is he will get over it quicker than most.
