23: Seamus Coleman - Sligo's overpriced superstar

torn the lateral ligament in his right ankle. No time set on his recovery, he's seeing a specialist in London this week. Fucking hell, we won't see him again this year. The only player who could cause any problems for opponents down the right. And Arteta is still injured. We are so fucked it's unbelievable.

Liverpool are plotting a shock bid for Everton star Seamus Coleman, after Toffees manager David Moyes refused to rule out player sales due to their financial position.

The Blues are currently unable to bring in new signings at Goodison Park as the Merseysiders have reached their overdraft limit and even if the club did sell some of their better players to raise funds then that cash would only go to paying off bank debts.

Moyes and the Everton board have grown increasingly anxious with financial situation and could give themselves room to breathe by offloading several stars before the transfer window shuts on Wednesday with bitter rivals Liverpool ready to take advantage of the situation.

While key duo Mikel Arteta and Phil Jagielka have been strongly linked with Arsenal, Kenny Dalglishs interest in Coleman comes as somewhat of a surprise.

But according to sources close to the Reds boss, the Scotsman rates the Republic of Ireland international very highly and is considering a £8m bid for the right-sided player, who can operate as a full-back or in more advanced attacking position.

Everton will be reluctant to sell the versatile 22-year-old, especially to their Merseyside neighbours, but the Blues may be forced to cash-in on the youngster if they cannot offload another one of his stars this week.

"Everybody's got a price - Fabregas, Ronaldo, you name it. If anyone bids big enough I'm sure we'd take it. I'm not daft, Moyes told Sky Sports.

Dalglishs monetary situation starkly contrasts, he is being encouraged to carry on spending by owners Fenway Sports Group - despite spending over £50m on transfers this summer.

Having signed Stewart Downing to operate on the left-side, Dalglish wants a similar potency on the opposite flank to provide wide-service to strikers Luiz Suarez and Andy Carroll.

Coleman certainly fits the Anfield clubs policy of buying young talent with a potentially higher sell-on value, but a move between the Merseyside rivals will always be a controversial one.

The former Sligo Rovers may feel a move across the city would benefit his long term career plans by aiding his ambitions to one day play in the UEFA Champions League.

I'm tempted to ban you for that.

Seamus back from injury. Good timing with Landon going back after Saturday, even though comparing Seamus to Landon is like comparing Andy Carroll to somebody who can play football.

Scored after 5 mins to put the reserves 1 up.

Good to have him back. On a good day he can cause opponent's defences problems. On a bad day, he can cause our defence problems.

I like the lad. Nowhere near as polished as Lonnie Donegan, but for £60K what do you expect?
DM probably allowed Seamus to recover at a leisurely pace, until we lost LD to the Galaxy.
The break may have done him good.
DM clearly has him as the replacement for Hibbo and Pip, once they've passed their sell by dates.
Can he emulate Baines? Remember, Baines couldn't get a game when Lescott was here, so Seamus has time on his side.
