Was he playing right wing or right back in that game?

Seems to have picked up another injury as he's not in the squad today. Frustrating.

**tricky_colour** · 22/12/2012, 5:32 PM

Everton forum guy said he was injured in in training yesterday.
Another guy said it was a hamstring.

**DannyInvincible** · 26/12/2012, 1:34 PM

Misses out again today. Any idea when he'll be back?

Just signed a 5 and a half year deal with Everton.

I read that earlier on RTÉ. Delighted for him.

Make or break season for Coleman.

**geysir** · 31/12/2012, 1:47 PM

Everton think he's already made it this season, giving him that contract.

**harry crumb** · 31/12/2012, 2:09 PM

Set for life now.

Fair play to him.

Can someone explain to me how this type of thing works? This from soccernet.com:

"He was rewarded with a new three-year contract in May 2010 and signed an improved four-and-a-half-year deal in January 2011 in a season in which he made 24 Premier League starts, his best to date."

"Everton defender Seamus Coleman signed a new five-and-a-half-year contract Monday with the club, extended his stay at Goodison Park until the summer of 2018."

What kind of money was he on for each of these contract? Is this information available? I've been chided on here before for asking these types of questions but here in North America, all the major professional sports leagues publish all the contracts so everyone knows exactly what kind of money every athlete is on at all times. is it a privacy issue?

**tricky_colour** · 01/01/2013, 8:33 PM

They certainly do not publish wages here, all you tend to hear is "wages rumoured to be"
Not usually in the clubs or players interests to do so.

I guess his existing contract ran out in mid 2015, 2.5 years away.

So Seamus is probably considered more valuable and wants more money and Everton can see
the end to his contract on the horizon and want to secure his services.

So both likely to want a new deal, if the contract is allowed to lapse Everton lose a player worth many millions so happy to give him more dosh.

Not sure what he was on or what he is on now, but got to be in the sseveral tens of thousands, perhaps someone who is up on wages and the like could give you a better idea.

It says £26000 per week here but that must be his old wages if it's correct?

Thanks very much. It works so differently over here in North America. It would be extremely unusual for any sports team here to extend a contract in anything other than the final year of the existing contract, so tying up Coleman 2.5 years before his contract was due to expire is a big surprise to me. Does the old contract just get ripped up? Does his raise just kick once his old contract was due to expire? Teams will sign unattached players here, but the first thing out of supporter's mouths is not "is he any good?" it is "how much money does he make?" For example, a top player in the NBA could be paid upwards of fifteen million dollars , but a lesser player at a far reduced salary can be a much better pick-up, as it frees up space to pick up more players.

For example, Cudicini has just been announced as the LA Galaxy's latest pick-up. His wages will be a matter of public record over here in America, but what about his existing contract with Spurs? He was available on a free but assuming he had at least half a season left on his current Spurs contract, how would that work? Would Spurs just buy him out, like give him the total value of the money he would have made between now and the end of the season? Why is this information not publicly available? Surely the tax service in the UK would be privy to this information?

Coleman has been excellant this season. Great that he's thought of highly by Moyes. He is now first choice RB for club and country i reckon. Great work after a disappointing last season.
