Dokko Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 well it would be a novel concept for barca to actually buy a cb to play at cb. Â If they are looking they are probably looking at taking him for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014  He isn't what Barca need at all. A skilful defender, if he was a bit younger he'd be perfect for Barca  They need a much more imposing defender than Coloccini. Someone a lot better in the air and who can really command from the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Most top teams need their central defenders to be good at atleast 1 of the following - in the air, fast, strong. Colo ticks none of those boxes. He' actually the best defender I can think of that doesn't have at least 1 of those attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Not a happy man by the sound of it: FABRICIO Coloccini’s usually dependable and unflappable. And when Newcastle United’s captain is losing his cool – on or off the field – something is wrong, very wrong. Normally the last out of the dressing room after a game, Coloccini, presumably stung by the manner of the defeat, and the angry reaction of the club’s fans at the final whistle, beat a hasty retreat. He wanted to get away, and quickly. The 32-year-old made a hurried exit from the stadium, snapping at one journalist as he quickly strode through the mixed zone towards the waiting team coach. It was uncharacteristic from the normally-polite Coloccini, known for his calm presence on and off the pitch. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/miles-starforth-s-match-analysis-southampton-4-newcastle-united-0-1-6531187 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BenArfa10 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm not blaming Coloccini here, I mean he's not completely blameless but when you have a midfield two of Tiote and Anita who provide no outlet, no through balls, no creative spark whatsoever then the link up between defence and the forwards is going to be non-existent. On top of that there are two (sometimes one incredibly) forwards who can't make the ball stick in the final third, not helped by the fact that they get no supporting runs from midfield. When this is the case then the defenders are going to come under way too much pressure. Are you telling me that the next to imperious Coloccini we've seen from the last three or four seasons has suddenly 'turned shit', no he hasn't. When Pardew is playing Cisse on the wing, De Jong up front completely separated from the rest of the team and our only creative outlet which could relieve that pressure is sat on the bench in favour of Dan FUCKING Gosling then the vast majority of the play is going to involve opposition players running at our defence. Doesn't compensate for individual errors like but it is something to bear in mind. The only players we have that can harm the opposition are Remy and Debuchy (Sissoko as well to some extent) and they ain't playing. We kissed goodbye to our season when we sold Cabaye for a fucking pittance and didn't replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
