Paully Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Love Colo when he's at his best. . I am biased but he is unreal when like that - we'll not see a better footballing centre half up here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Colo had a longer, more consistent period at his best that was close to or as good as Woodgate's spell for us, so would personally pick the Colo that saw us to 5th in the league... just.

Aye, not taking it away from him, just at peak I preferred woodgate Fair enough, would never call anyone wrong for picking either way tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Woodgate over any defender we have had for the last 15 years, but well played again Colo especially that sliding tackle to lift it over the bar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 woodgate was the better defender, but colo's better on the ball. Woodgate was the best central defender I've ever seen here, he didn't have a weakness. Colo can lose the odd crucial header and isn't the quickest. Unlike Woodgate though, he is available for 90% of games whereas Woodgate was a constant crock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodgate did have a weakness and you've mentioned it yourself, he was far too injury prone and was absolutely useless for us when sitting in the stands.

I don't think that best was Woodgate best though. That's fair enough. As I said before I won't tell anyone their opinion is wrong for picking either way. They are both by far and away the best two centre backs I've seen play for us. Colo fully deserved his place in team of the season the year we finished 5th and Woodgate certainly earned his move to Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexumaster Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 He looks like his head is screwed on a bit better now, I just doubt he has the pace to match his reading of situations anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 He has been a very good CB, excellent when he really feels like he's up for a game, but he's past his best now. His pace, never a strong point, has deteriorated and he now relies on his reading of a game which admittedly is good but we need a long-term quality CB to partner Mbemba. Shelvey's arrival will take some pressure off him as he provides a good outlet in front of the back 4, but it cannot be a long term solution...or even a medium term one. Top managers always know when to replace top players - Shankly was ruthless that way and so was Clough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
