Seamus Coleman 'at right club' to continue development
SEAMUS COLEMAN is at the right club to fulfil his potential. [LNB]That is the opinion of Sligo Rovers manager, Paul Cook, who sanctioned the defender's January switch to Everton. [LNB]After a shaky start against Benfica in Lisbon in October, Coleman bounced back to claim the man-of-the-match champagne with a stirring performance in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Goodison. [LNB]His former manager believes the youngster has all the right attributes to reach the top with Everton and that he is in the right environment to cope with the sudden praise being aimed his way. [LNB]"Of course, you're going to be a little bit surprised with him, doing so well for Everton against Tottenham in the Premier League just a few months out of the Irish league," says Cook.[LNB]"It's a big learning curve for Seamus. I'm not saying he'll be starstruck as such, but being on the same pitch as Crouch and Defoe must have been a big thing for the lad. [LNB]"He's ice cool though. Seamus made a couple of runs in the second half against Spurs, two of which led to Everton's goals. He can lift a crowd like that, plus it will give him great confidence. What he's got at the moment are qualities that could eventually see him become a very good player. He needs to keep his feet on the ground and I'm sure he'll do that at Everton."[LNB]While delighted at the progress Coleman has made so soon after leaving Sligo, Cook adds a note of caution and says David Moyes is the perfect man to protect the Irish protege. [LNB]"Seamus has only played a couple of games. Young lads at that level need nurturing and helping. [LNB]"People have got to be realistic. There's often a tendency in football to try and elevate good, young players too quickly before knocking them down just as fast.
