Elma Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Apparently he's back. He's due in training on Monday so I wouldn't be surprised if he is. Hopefully back for Fulham all being well. Would be a big boost as if Debuchy is out for any length of time then we can switch Mapou to right-back (would need to do that in the Europa anyway).

Fenham Mag Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 He'll have a job getting back into starting XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 He'll have a job getting back into starting XI. No he won't. He's proved himself better than both other options thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Aye, he's still our best centre-back and by a distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Depends if he is definitely off in the summer. Taylor and MYM are more than good enough to keep together as a partnership than chucking Colo back in for a few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Going off recent form (only) Taylor is our best CB. I certainly wouldn't be putting Colo back in at the expense of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The on-form CBs should play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The on-form CBs should play. Also building a partnership between the centre backs who will be here > giving past performances any sort of preference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Going off recent form (only) Taylor is our best CB. I certainly wouldn't be putting Colo back in at the expense of him. It'll most likely be Colo coming in for Yanga-Mbiwa. Experience and the fact Colo's our captain being the main reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Taylor plying every game will only end up going one way, injuries. So I suppose there is room and reason for a bit of rotation. Probably see all 3 against Benfica.

Cajun Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I would give Cabaye the captaincy straight away. Colo can hardly complain can he? and it's not like Cabaye is unpopular with the rest of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly not fit to be our captain. don't agree with giving wantaways the captainship. I still have a lot of love for Colo and can believe personal issues he wants to keep out the public eye may be the main reason behind this but his heart's not in it (even if he'll surely be professional on the pitch still), and shouldn't be our captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo can hardly complain can he? and it's not like Cabaye is unpopular with the rest of the squad. Harsh to strip him of the captaincy. Imo he hasn't been much of a captain since the whole San Larenzo thing came out. Seems like we had to beg him to stay, he left the fans in the lurch then finally made a statement which was along the lines of "Okay I will stay until the summer!", apologised to the poor clubs fans who tried to tap him up and as soon as he had the chance he fucked off back to Argentina to support that team whilst his team were trying to progress in Europe and fight to stay in the league. It's not so much stripping him of the captaincy, just giving it to someone who wants the responsibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Colo doesn't deserve to be captain, don't think anyone can argue with that. Cabaye will make a much better captain anyway, it's a massive step up when it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Given he was never a rabble rousing captain he hasn't actually done anything different in terms of what is actually known. Obviously conjec ture rules supreme though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I liked him as captain because he is calm and collected and led by example of just getting on with the game. Cabaye is more of a fire and brimstone kind of leader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Would be a sour note and a bit of a dampener on his time here. If he goes in the summer, give Cabaye the armband. Not now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo can hardly complain can he? and it's not like Cabaye is unpopular with the rest of the squad. Harsh to strip him of the captaincy. Is this serious? Cabaye can communicate with the rest of the team, leads by better example and doesn't want to sod off to play for some Mickey Mouse team in Argentina.

I can see that too. I don't like him being captain while not wanting to be here but I do think he deserves a positive send off too. Hmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Given he was never a rabble rousing captain he hasn't actually done anything different. He hasn't been in a situation where he could have tried to convince a player to stay against the overtures of another club, only it was his father and despite bleating to the press on numerous occasions about how his son should join his club Colo clearly never told him to stop being such a disrespectful prick and shut his mouth (or something to that effect that was a little more respectful). As Toons Taylor has said, there is no defending what went on in the summer. Coloccini had plenty of opportunities to diffuse the situation but didn't take any, in fact he just made it worse.
