I'm still in a bit of shock over Seamus. It's strange, he is one of those players you just expect to play every week. If he gets tackled he just gets up runs at break neck speed and gets that ball back.

It hurts even more as he is one of our own. I don't care what it says on his passport or birth certificate. He is blue right the way through. An inspiration to us all off the pitch and respected above most others on it.

I don't know of a better right back in WORLD football and wish him nothing but a speedy and full recovery.

One day, he'll have a stand named after him. I'll make damned sure of it.

100% agreed.

Totally agree BlueJohnUns. Funnily enough the day before the leg break I wrote a post praising Coleman. The lad isn't like most big headed footballers today. He is very grounded and down to earth. Committed to Everton. As I said before loved the way he came out in January last squashing rumours in the media that he was going to Utd.

Pure class, just like his actions on the pitch. Mr consistent and very rarely if ever has a stinker of a game. Very dependable. Hope he comes back the same player because at 28 he was just reaching his peak.

Skilful, very hard working and coveted by the rest. That makes him an Everton Great in my books. My one wish is that he comes back and wins some silverware with us as Captain, lifting it first.

Seamus is a gentleman and a legend in my eyes. For years he has been linked to Man Utd and others, no whinging, just head down and carry on doing what he is best at, playing for Everton. I think after his career has finished, he could and hopefully, be brought into a coaching capacity ( if he has the intentions to do so) . I think he will continue to have strong links with the club, but if not, he will be a special man and prayer at our club. Speedy recovery Seamus.

The best £60k ever spent in don't think any player will ever represent a better find in the whole world of football! Pure class!

I think everyone is just waiting to hear how bad seamus' injury actually is and how long he is possibly out for.

We as fans need to sing his name loudly and proudly in our next home game to let him know we are there for him every step of his recovery.
Just hope it's not a career ender.

Double fracture, been reported here in Ireland. At least 6 months out
Long haul back to where he's been, hope he makes it.

As someone who knows about orthopaedics I keep hearing about the length of his time out and liking it to Bolassie. Generally a fracture is far less serious than a ligament injury so let's just wait and see. Incidentally did you know the break actually becomes stronger.

Yeah trebor. Ross Barkley is testament to that. He had a bad leg break too as a youngster. I wasn't comparing Coleman's and bolasie injuries. More that they can keep each other positive during long spells out.

Gutted for Seamus there hope he's back soon

Connelly or Holgate I'd imagine, please don't put Mirallas there or something Ron.

I would be tempted to give jonjoe kenny a go. Watched him a few times this season for the 23's and he's the most like for like replacement for Seamus out of what we have got imo.

Hey Swan, how weird that we were debating Seamus yesterday and then this happens. guess we will find out how good/ effective he was now. Either way, I know we all don't want these things to happen. can't see him putting Mirallas there. will be one of the kids and maybe back 3 in more games? eg Holgate, Williams and Mori?
