toptoon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 At 6.0 ft/183cm he's not very big for a CB? I suppose we have Faye for the likes of Carew, Ashton, Drogba, Adebayor etc etc.... Coloccini for the Rooneys/more skillfull players ? Shearer was shorter than that tbf. Same apparently. Both 6'0 ft. Shearer was obviously one of the best headers of the ball ever. However even he would struggle against some CB's. My point being its different when your a CB. Have you ever seen Coloccini play? Yes, but not alot. I take it you have ? ...How good would you say he is? Better than any other centre back outside the top 3 in the Premiership on current form in Spain. Don't read too much into how tall he is, he's got a great aerial presence. Agree with Baggy. He's better than any CD in the PL bar about 5. IMO. You both normally speak alot of sense and are sticking your necks out alot saying that. I'm a little more reassured now. Pair him with Faye i take it?

Parky Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Can he jump? Oba is not tall but has a canny old jump on him, 6ft is an okay height for a CB, look at the yank pratt we had really tall and really shite. He doesn't have to jump he normally has a quiet word with the opposing striker in the tunnel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Many Deportivo fans think he's ben better than Martin Caceres (€17M) and Pepe (€30m) who are relatively new players in La Liga and and we've had a 11.5m fee agreed with Depor for one of the very best cb's playing in Spain. So many say that we've got a very good deal when looking at the prices these days.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive watched a fair bit of la liga in recent seasons and seen Colo on a fair few occasions. One of his main strengths actully seemed to be his heading/aerial ability despite what some of you deem 6ft to be a short arse I guess some of you might be worried he`s crap because theres few if no compilations on youtube Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
