    If Coleman was my next door neighbour I wouldn't have him in the team.

    Simply not good enough for United. End of.

    Out of interest, who would you have ahead of Coleman, realistically?

    Coleman has probably been second only to Zabeletta in the League for the past 2-3 years. Raf when he is fit would be up there but we can't keep thinking he is going to suddenly become injury free. The RB position is one we really need to strengthen and Coleman would be an upgrade there, cause Raf is made of glass

    But he has been one if the best in the leauge?

    You're just basing it off the fact he is Irish, none of us are. We should have kept Gibson so

    You support Liverpool?

    And if I was in the Pool thread I'd have said "I'm interested in Liverpool", or "I'm interested in Newcastle" or "I'm interested in Rangers"....or any other club I happened to be discussing if I was a supporter.

    How does one persons opinion qualify for disapproval of a player? It doesn't.

    End of.

    Agree with Astradave's post. Coleman has been up there as one the best in the league for a couple of seasons. Nothing to do with being Irish but just a good footballer.

    Deserve? Why, no club deserves any particular quality of player.

    Maybe United should sign Titus Bramble.

    All he did was score a goal?


    We only buy players based off one gif of skill

    No, that's not similar. Nobody is saying to sign based on the gif. Bramble is 33, Coleman is 26 and has scored more than him. And the gif is in no way similar.

    Wouldn't be too disappointed if we didn't sign Coleman, decent player but that's about it.

    £20m would be insane and be a massive gamble.

    And Danilo is 23 and has won 10 trophies in his short career.

    So what is it about Coleman exactly when he has won precisely nothing?

    Danilo won all them by himself? In a top European League and cup competitions?


    Sign him up Ed!!!1!

    Is Clyne a better option?

    Could have got him for £2.5m just over 2 years ago, I guess we would need to shell out £15m+ now.

    Yes, he won them all single-handedly... :rolleyes:

    The point is that Danilo has 13 medals which is 13 medals more than Seamus Coleman. What exactly does this tell us? Little. But it tells us he has 13 more medals than Coleman so again, what is so special about Coleman? Apart from being Irish on an Irish forum....nothing. I'm not saying he's a dreadful player. He's not. He's a good footballer but that's it, a good footballer. There are better out there.

    I think Danilo would be a good signing also, think he's quality. Coleman has shown to be a good attacking full back in the PL. I'd like to see him given a chance at a bigger club like United where he can start to challenge.

    I honestly think he's better than Shaw

    You're right - Coleman is a decent footballer. I'm not saying he isn't. But United should be aiming higher IMO. Just my opinion.

    Yep, a few years younger and qualifies as homegrown for the squad unlike Coleman. Quick attacking and gives good cover in defence.

    I'd worry about upgrades in central defence and getting the right players in there rather than worrying about Seamus Coleman being the RB

    If he gets a big move I honestly think he would be in the running for best in his position in the world in a couple of years. I'd love to get him signed up.

    Calamity Evans has been ripped apart in every paper and forum over the last few days....

    United should be looking to offload this joker. How he has managed to earn a living doing this escapes my comprehension.

    They have some conveyor belt of talent going on down there.

    Disagree with fact that we are basing him as a good player just because he is Irish.

    Last year he was the best right back in the league. He even got into the PFA team of the year.

    He has a good goal scoring record for a right back. I think it is around one in ten matches.

    Both him and Rafael are good going forward, defensively though there are better out there.

    Clyne and Rafael have premier league experience which is always a plus. but we will have to pay a premium to get either of them.

    The problem with Coleman is that he signed a five year deal in the summer, and with the way that Everton do business, they will try to take United to the cleaners (Again)

    Granted Utd do need a Right back... But a Central defender must be first on the agenda surely?!

    So because one position needs strengthening more than another, the second position can't even be discussed.

    If Coleman is available, then he should be got. Irregardless as to whether a CH is brought in, or not.

    That isn't "prioritising" one over the other, it's getting an available player in a position where improvement is needed.
