Just lol'd at seeing Colour injured from the club's tour.

 

90% of people on here still happy we didn't sign a centre back in Jan?

 

Think you've missed the decimal place at the start of that number.

Unpopular opinion time but since Sunderland, he's been our best defender for me. Granted thats not saying much as we've been attrocious defensively but he's still done better then others on a individual basis.

 

I don't think he should be captain and I most certainly hope that if we do stay up, we sign a top class CB to play alongside Mbemba but if I had a choice out of Collo, Lascelles and Taylor to start every game out of the 3 then it would be Collocinni for me.

 

The thought of Taylor and Lascelles being our CB pairing for Stoke away & possibly longer doesn't fill me with any confidence at all.

He's been poor in some games, I'm not keen on him being the captan but with Mbemba still injured the thought of Saylor and Lascelles at the back doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.

 

Me neither.  But looking at our defensive record this season, it can't really get much worse.

It's shite from a fans Point of View but almost literary poetry in its Ozymandias style narrative - heralding themselves pragmatic progressive by employing 'the right man carefully vetted', praising each other for making these English signings as a supposed paradigm shift and it all crumbling when its revealed to be more token bullshit that never addresses the real issues.

 

We're left with a two bit patsy coach and have glaring weaknesses after a few injuries - all of this predicted by any fan with at least 2 brain cells and one working eye with no degree of hindsight. It would be a laugh if it wasn't you're own club. Well it is laughable, we're a running joke.

Since when was TCD 90% of this forum? :lol:

 

Eh? Would've happily seen him replaced last summer.

 

Eh? When was summer mentioned

Obviously meant it a little tongue in cheek, but point is a centre back was a major issue since last summer, still is now and we missed a chance to do something about it in Jan. 88.1% were happy at how January went.

 

OK doesn't equal happy.

You're either happy with it or not. Being OK with it is being happy with it.

 

That wasn't the question, though.  The poll was about our transfer window.  Not specifically about a centre back.   

 

I actually went for 'pretty good.'  As I expected f*** all and we actually managed to sign some decent/reasonable players.  However, I did state that we're still light at the back and it may cost us.  I can't be arsed to read back through.  But I'm sure at the time, most people were bemoaning the lack of defensive reinforcements.  In an ideal world, we would have signed two more players.  A proper centre back and a goalscorer.  But considering I had very low standards going in, I was happy with it. 

 

Transfer window was pretty good to ok = 90% of people are happy we didn't sign a centre back.  :lol: 

 

Oh and I'd also say in this instance, that 'ok', would be more a feeling of indifference and middle of the road.  Not being overly happy about anything.  But I suppose that ruins your 90% argument :lol:

“I have individual conversations, face-to-face, with some players. Coloccini was one. On Saturday we had a tactical training session. We were doing some movements I would like to do in the future so he came outside to see what we were doing and I was talking with him. He was really confident the team is good and will do well.”

Yeah the pictures from Saturday's session had them side by side during the session. Looked like they were gelling. Can see them getting along really well. Colo to join his staff next season should we stay up.

You got all that from a photo of them standing next to each other?

 

Anyway, Colo has another year of his contract to go after it was extended. I doubt he'll hang up his boots at the end of this season.

Been watching Elementary lately, and Kaka's power of deduction are comparable to Sherlock's :lol:

I thought he had signed a 1 year extension? Utter stupidity if he's got 2 years left, he's already useless.

His contract was due to end Summer 2016. It was extended to Summer 2017.

I sit in the northwest corner just below the box used by the tv companies.

 

coloccini was sat in a box along from it out in the open - nowt exciting about that.

 

However anyone know what was being berrated to him by some fans, ( we were one down) literary over the wall from him? he just sat there looking through them while they screamed at him. Was surreal. As spineless sitting on a chair as in the pitch it seems.

You think he should get into it with some random apes?

 

Not at all, just wondering if anyone knew what it was about. I'd have told them to fuck off or moved or something.

Telling the fans of a club you're captain of to fuck off is probably the worst suggestion I've ever heard. Also it would surely be more spineless to move away than sitting there and taking it
