Balls.
:( gutted.
wish him all the best. fantastic move for him, hopefully after a few months he can mover to an even higher standard
He said nothing's been sorted yet so hopefully we can keep him for a bit longer;)
he's not going to say ''ah yeah, i cant wait it'll be great'' either though. he's good enough to impress them.
just have mixed feelings about it. he's sucha nice lad id love for him to make it over in england, yet its sad to know we wont see him playing in the showgrounds again for us
No he's not but I have other reasons to suggest nothing's a done deal just yet;)Quote:

The question is, how do you develop a pipeline of Seamus Colemans where you can develop them and sell them off for nice fees.
Agreed we shouldnt be selling ourselves short here , we all know what a talent Seamie is and we should hold out for a decent fee with sell-ons and international cap moneyQuote:

what sort of money are talking here?
hopefully alot. don;t know the full story yet though...
would seamie get starting ahead of graham alexander!! don't know if many would be too familiar with him but he was the preston captain for years, had a good scoring record...even though most goals were penaltys....he was a regular in the scotland first team for years, and is a seasoned professional in the championship
Yeah but Seamie's class:pQuote:

is Anto Murphy his replacement :confused:
Thats what i was thinkingQuote:

I was at a burnley match two weeks ago and its a big step from the showgies to the championship but if seamie is a bit more disciplined (i'm sure that sort of maturity will come into his game) on the pitch i think he has the talent to make it at this level. If you dive into tackles all the time these players in the championship eventually will either leave you looking foolish or break your leg!
Hopefully we have him for another year or else get a good fee for him :)

In local soccer news and it appears that Sligo Rovers Under 21 international defender Seamus Coleman could be on the verge of a move to cross channel championship side Burnley. Coleman is currently on trial at Turf Moor and a permanent move seems imminent.
Mean while, Cork born defender Brian O Callaghan has reportably being offered a one year contract by Rovers manager Paul Cooke and looks set to be Paul Cook’s second signing of the close season , following the capture of Anto Murphy last week
http://www.clarets-mad.co.uk/news/lo...TMNW&id=368359
Young Irish right back Seamus Coleman was the first to be named. Coleman is currently with Sligo Rovers who play their football in the Eircom League and have had a few Burnley connections in recent years having been managed by Steve Cotterill, Jimmy Mullen, Nicky Read, Tommy Cassidy and now, since April this year, Paul Cook.
The 19-year-old Coleman joined Sligo in August 2006 from St. Catherine's Killybegs after impressing against them in a friendly and has established himself in Paul Cook's team. He's with Burnley this week and took in the reserve game at Accrington last night.
lads are all the posters on this site related to seamie ye all love him.havnt been that impressed with him whenever ive seen him esp defending.couldnt get a game for eire u21s or23s.think he mit be a better winger than defender.he was always gud there as a youngfellow and in centre mid.hope he maks it in burnley though snd lad.also heared a rumour if he doesnt sign for bunley he mit be goin to dublin.think his girl is studying there,but not bohs now because he wasnt actually injured for that 23 match fenlon jst didnt play him
tut tut...:( so ignorant and ill informed. seriuosly have you ever been to watch Seamus Coleman play? ive never seen a better tackler in The Showgrounds. Hes as solid as a rock!! think you might be confusing him with one of our former players, goes by the name of Zoltan Vassas.Quote:

if whats all true?Quote:

if you can't see he's one of the better young players in the league of ireland you need to sit down and be thought something about the game of football
Lads, lads! What is it with ye guys on this forum? Just because someone comes on here and voices an opinion different to yours doesn't necessarily mean they know nothing about football. I think you guys are too quick to defend yer own opinions and go on the attack to do so.Quote:

Just look at the transformation of Faz when he was moved into a position which he is obviousily more suited for. How many on this forum would have agreed if prior to last season someone had come on here and said hey lets try Faz in a different position?
Lets remember that this is a forum, a place for open debate, where everyone has a right to voice their opinion.
coleman himself said that moving to right back was a revelation for himQuote:

Unfortunately, the genius who signed him now looks as if he got him by Quick Pick - Seamie will probably have to return the gesture by getting him a job on a trawler in Killybegs.
Steve Finnan hasn't a patch on our Seamie:cool:Quote:
