Despite rumours of a transfer to Everton, Sligo Rovers defender Seamus Coleman this morning trained with his League of Ireland teammates as usual, fuelling further confusion as to his footballing future.

Earlier reports suggested that Everton had signed Coleman in a deal worth £150,000. The English Premiership outfit were rumoured to have fought off competition from Glasgow Celtic, Birmingham City and Ipswich Town to land the 20-year-old.

However extratime.ie have learned that the Irishman's future is less than clear. Everton Youth Academy Assistant, Jonathan Williams, had "not heard anything" about such a transfer when contacted by us this morning. Dermot Brannigan, Sligo Rovers Media Officer, informed us that there had been no signing yet and that "he was at training this morning." This is obviously contrary to reports from English newspapers claiming, today, that a deal has already been struck.

From extratime.ie.

Should Paul Cooke be Given a % of ant transfer fee foo Seamus Coleman

[brianw82]

If the FAI are happy to count that as income for 2009, then sure.

I tought hs signature would be delayed after Cook leaving, but if true, its another huge blow, but best of luck to him.

Heard seamie's gone to everton for an intial fee of 60k with a further 200k when he breaks into the 1st team(not sure if he has to make a certain number of appereances or what).

Irish daily mail today says 65k with add ons based on 1st team appearances and international caps. So he probably has to make x amount of appearances for the add ons.

Who negotiated that, Walter Mitty?

Very poor deal for Sligo for a quality U21 international player who was recently plauded by Givens as a player who could make it to the top at all levels seem another LOI player gone for buttons

[Red&White Rover]

That's an absolutely woeful deal if true.

I mean. Just

[sligofan4ever]

From 160k to 60k! terrible, terrible deal. Thats brutal for someone with such potential.

[happydays97]

60k plus add on's aint bad for a player in is last year of contract

He could of walked away at the end of the season

I might be wrong but would'nt we have got some compensation if he signed for another team at the end of the season because he's under 22.

Im probably wrong....

[Red&White Rover]

For an U-21 and U-23 international, at the age of 20, and already touted as a future full international I would think it's not great, last year of contract or not...

[SligoBrewer]

What a **** week in the history of Sligo Rovers.
