Coleman is 28 isnt he? Haven't seen a lot of him of late and while quality is the mist important criteria hopefully we can get someone a bit younger who we won't have to replace a couple of years down the line.
Seamus Coleman
- Thread starter Morpheus 7
- Start date
at this rate buy donald love and get rooney for free
Nah, RB would last quite a while above 30. Unless they're a wingback
He's lost a bit of his pace.
Do not want. It would be like Baines a few years ago all over again. The money and hassle it would need to buy him is not worth it. Our scout team has better RB's on their list and ones that are cheaper/or easier gettable, i am sure.
Pros:
1. One of the best RBs in the league.
2. Who doesn't like a fullback whose first instinct is to drive forward in attack?
3. Excellent professional, excellent attitude. Think he comes across well in this interview:

Cons:
1. Being one of the best full backs in the league doesn't mean he's an outstanding player. There simply aren't that many quality RBs around.
2. At 28 years old he's not going to improve much beyond what he is.
3. Would be expensive.
4. Seems to get injured more often than you'd want.
On balance, not someone I'd have a problem with playing for us but not someone I'd want to splash big cash on either.

Only out right better than Valencia in crossing. The rest of his attribute is arguably only marginally better or worse. Has become injury prone lately, so knowing our luck with injury at the back: DO NOT WANT.

28.
Like I said, quality comes first so if he performs like he has at his best we'll have a very good right back. But ideally id prefer someone younger. He does appear quite reliant on pace. But given our problems in this position I'd take him.
Your right, went of the wikipedia age which hasn't updated.
Everything at Everton that season looked great.
He isn't one of the best RBs at all. Valencia > Coleman
You forget that Antonio Valencia was nominated for the POTM award just a month back
That doesn't make your comment any more correct, POTM means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Kevin Davies and Andy Cole once shared the POTM award, doesn't make Davies the same player. "Valenica better than Coleman", I thought I had seen it all.
Coleman hasn't performed at the 13/14 level since then.
Coleman can do everything Valencia does and much more.
With a licence to attack, he is very dangerous. As seen against Moldova the other night.

The only issue I had was you stating Valencia is a better rb than Coleman. That's totally wrong imho. Although I wouldn't want us to buy Coleman either for the money he would cost, maybe 3/4 years ago but not at 28 years old.

Utter bollox.
He turned 27 today. We'd be signing a player in his prime. The defence could do with some experience.
28 today, for the reported 16million no problem but Everton would shaft us.
No thanks.
Would agree with whoever said they'd rather Cedric.

The Irish defending his lad here 
His fee and Everton are the issues here. Would be a good addition to the right side. I dont see that many options in the market except Fabinho and him, unless Jose can bailly someone.

Coleman was very good in 13/14. Since then he has been average. Valencia has actually been more solid since then. Fair enough if you don't agree.
I agree with lots here - He's Irish which makes him great but it wouldn't be too hard buy someone 21/22 and they'd already be at least on Coleman's level
Fabinho?
Fabinho?
I'd sooner have Coleman who is proven in the prem than someone who might not settle in the league or in his personal life.
and who the hell have fabinho seen play seriously? The same people who claimed Darmian is brilliant?... Last time I heard about Fabinho was when he played DM for Monaco, he looks too slow for RB who should be running up and down the line for us. Coleman is twice the RB we need for me, let alone this aclimatization of a Brazilian in EPL which is never easy...
He's definitely better than Valencia at RB, he's one of the best in the league.
I do understand some of the cons regarding him though.

Same Fabinho who cannot get a game as a right back at Monaco?
Yup. I would agree with this. Saying Valencia is better is just laughable, though.
is that true or is he just very talented and being preferred in a more involved role in midfield?
that's why I had a question mark.... I was asking
Ironically if given a chance, Chelsea DoF and Conte would rather pick PL unproven defenders than these PL proven ones. They ended up in between with David Luiz and Alonso...
Not disagree with you about PL proven thing, just saying some times PL proven is overrated. Coleman is overrated on his performance in Moyes' Everton last season. Has regressed and became a bit injury prone. Defending is not very solid.
I second another poster on this page that Cedric is quietly doing a good job.
Who the hell is Cedric?
Cedric Soares. Plays for Southampton as right-back.
He is second choice right back now behind Sidibe, don't think he's what we need either but there's a shortage of right backs in the market.
He isn't second choice to anyone, he is a first choice midfielder and he is also a better RB than Sidibé. And stay away from both.
Yep, him, Sidibe, Cancelo and Mario Gaspar are all good options that would likely be a good bit cheaper than Coleman.
Monaco fan or you don't think either are good enough for United?
