The World Cup runner up, who'd conceded one goal in five games before Sunday?

 

Clean sheets aren't usually solely down to the keeper, and I've seen some awful World Cup winning goalkeepers, anyone remember Felix?

Bob Wilson, a level-headed pundit and formerly a courageous and reliable last line of defence for Arsenal and Scotland, wrote: "Without question he is the most incompetent goalkeeper to win a World Cup medal," concluding, "He was born lucky .

To be fair Felix could have spent the entire tournament sitting against the base of the post smoking a fag and he'd still have his winners medal.

It does sound plausible, given Smithies was sold by Huddersfield the other week, that they might show an interest.

 

From Latics' perspective, I don't see the need to sell Coleman now. They won't get any serious money, with him having little proven experience, and it's likely he'll be worth much more in the future - maybe simply in terms of performances this campaign.

 

Its Oldham, anything above £150k with a 10% sell on and he is a gonner

Yep. Mentioned a while ago that, whilst Coleman is doing well, I'm not as taken with him as other people seem to be. Anything over 150k and I'd be snapping their hand off...

We should be looking for more than that. Southend have rejected £1m bids for their keeper and Coleman has more than a decent chance of England u21 honours in the next few months.

It would reek of desperation to sell him now, as it's unlikely we'll be getting anything significant.

 

He's hardly made an error, which for a 19 year-old 'keeper is impressive, and looks to be very assured coming out for the ball at crosses and corners - these sweeper 'keepers seem back in fashion since Neuer and De Gea.

 

An England honour at any level would put huge value onto him, and we're unlikely to be offered anything serious at the moment. Why sell now when we might be able to get loads more for him in the near future?

He was probably the only person in Brazil at the time who wanted to be a goalkeeper, he was lower non league by today's standards.

True, but we know after his first major error some of our fickle fans will want him given an immediate free transfer.

Hasn't Coleman played quite a few more first team games at a slightly higher level? Although the only thing dragging Colemans price tag down will be the fact he hasn't featured for England at any age, unlike the Southend keeper maybe?
