Stu 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 s***, but nowhere near as good as certain folks think). This. Agreed, but I've always seen something of a young JT in Taylor*, when he's at RB he gets forward and supports the attack a lot better than any of our fullbacks in recent history (even Enrique) *this is not to liken Taylor to the JT of the past 5 years, but at a similar age (Taylor has more experience as well) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Taylors better than Colo for me, does his job quietly and efficiently. We got a clean sheet with Colo out against Bristol & would have had another at QPR if not for the deflected goal. So all this "we were so bad when Colo was out" isnt that true. We lost the next two games because Taylor was out also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon_Crazy Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I'd take 5 million or so, get in Killgallon for very little and use the other money to loan someone or buy a young player.. Bu then again, we have an owner who will only take cash in and then do f*** all with it. Would rather leave it till the summer or get Killgallon in but not sell Colo. Aye same but if Ashley gets Killgallon in January and someone offers hard cash for Colo then I reckon he will take it, we will still have a replacement. Personally I wouldn't let anyone bar Nicky Butt leave in January. Get promoted, make changes in the summer, don't fook up our promotion because then everyone will be leaving and we will be stuck in this league of shite for a long time.

Jayson Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Yeah because both our defenders were out. If either had come back we'd have looked better again. Im not making an argument about not needing Colo, id like to see how he does in the Prem again. Just the "we were bad when colo was out" has been used to prove how hes our best defender a few times now & thats not really how it went down.

Dinho lad 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.

Benwell Lad Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Taylor looks far less of a liability in this league. Apart from the lower quality strikers, having Coloccini alongside him on a regular basis may also be a factor. This might just be a partnership that works. I hope so.

The way idiots like you talk about Coloccini you'd think he was Andy O'Brien or Peter Ramage. Not at all. He's been one of our best players this season, and so he should be as well given the opposition he's playing against. Most people's opinions of him won't change though unless we get promoted and he proves himself consistently in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris P Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Coloccini,s mustard like. Best player all season will walk the premier as well, along with Enrique. The problem with his game is that he needs protection from the midfield .If the balls on the deck he smothers it or reads the pass and cuts it out. problem at the minute is some teams have found that the only way to break us downs is to pump the ball in the box and neither Taylor or Colo seam comfortable in the air last season the problem was the communication between the midfield and the defence. thats seams to be sorted now as Coloccini has been man of the match for me for the past three games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way idiots like you talk about Coloccini you'd think he was Andy O'Brien or Peter Ramage. And where did I say that I don't like Coloccini? Bassong cost half a million, does it mean a player with similliar ability and price is not good enough to replace Coloccini? You simply need a good scouting system, you moron. Yeah let's go and find an 8m replacement simply because Coloccini cost similliar money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPalAl Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Not the end of the world if he goes, even though, for me, him and Jose have been my favourite players this season. If we get our money back, and therefore save his wage bill, what is there to stop us getting a Bassong type of signing to take his place? Plus, it is Real Madrid ffs. Think it would be unfair to stand in his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
