Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If we could get our money back we'd be mental not to do so, even a couple of mill less would just make too much sense considering the wages he's on. He'd certainly need replacing though, and i doubt Ashley has the mental capacity to see that through to a satisfactory conclusion. A replament for Coloccini would cost £8m plus. No it wouldn't. In his best game so far he played like a £3m defender. David Rozenhal is a £3m defender man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo might be a £10m defender somewhere in Spain surrounded by class players, but here he's not worth a third for what we paid for him. Unless he plays like he did against Boro every game till the end of the season we could easily get a defender as good as him in this league for less than £3m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Surrounded by class players, at Deportivo? He was their main man by a mile and not one Deportivo fan would tell you any different. The Boro game is hardly an isolated occurance, he's been brilliant pretty much all season, as you'd expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Best defender in the division. Would cost us more if we sold him and didn't go up... I have been more impressed with Taylor in the games I have seen, Coloccini has been very good but somehow Taylor has looked less erratic and quietly got on with his job, very steady.

Dave Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Xisco - too soon to tell, but doesn't look anything special so far. Nacho - too soon to tell, but doesn't look anything special so far.

Apparently took him a year to get settled at Deportivo, he was shocking in his first year then went on to be their most important player. Not getting my hopes up but I will be happy to give him another crack in the Premiership if we go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Up till Feb/March there was badly a bad word spoken about Coloccini on this forum. Whilst I agree he wasn't always shite, the knives came out for him afer the Stoke game at St. James, and it didn't help that when West Ham beat us 3-1 Shearer ripped it out of him on MOTD.

Stu Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Best defender in the division. Would cost us more if we sold him and didn't go up... I have been more impressed with Taylor in the games I have seen, Coloccini has been very good but somehow Taylor has looked less erratic and quietly got on with his job, very steady. Very funny Jon Colo has been a cut above anything else in the division this season, of course this isn't anywhere near the level of the Premiership but we can only beat what is put in front of us each week. Its no surprise that when Colocinni was out we looked most vulnerable and the defence struggled in a couple of games. I think you're right that Taylor has also looked a lot better this season, but in part that's down to the good play of Colocinni, playing regularly with the same CB & GK partnership (Colo & Harper), and Smith just sitting in front of the CBs breaking up the play. Colo's distribution has generally been pretty good this season, Taylor has (again) improved on last season but a couple of times he's tried to run the ball out and gone nowhere, instead of just finding one of his midfielders or full backs.

Keefaz Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Don't think Taylor has really improved, tbh. Still think he's a better at right-back than anything else. (Not saying he's shit, but nowhere near as good as certain folks think). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I just think Taylor has gotten on with it and done it simple where Colo has got caught or nearly played his way into trouble a few times when he has had easier options. I do think he has been very good indeed, just Taylor has done it simpler. I can only comment on the games I have seen though, Taylor might have been Cruyff turning their striker, playing keepy uppy in the 6 yard box and scorpion kicking it off the line in the games I have't seen.
