ExiledGeordie Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Should've been replaced with proven quality but the cheap option was to hand him a year extension and "hope for the best". McClaren has backed himself into a corner by appointing him as captain because it's now extremely difficult to drop him at any point. We're it not for Taylor being so injury prone Coloccini should be dropped for a Mbemba/Taylor partnership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter now anyway, we need him to stay fit until January at which point he'll hopefully cease to exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate for a quality centre half and left back to come in with a proven striker. It's definitely damage limitation until January to give ourselves a chance of staying up.

sempuki Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 With Williamson and Forrest Gump out of contract in the Summer we will need to buy anyway. Agree about needing at least 3 in January - CB, LB and Forward all required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what you've seen so far I can't believe you haven't mentioned an actual CM who can run, tackle and pass Until we can control a game in midfield we are fucked.

GM Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Never good when you've got a chicken shit for a Captain. Although what would you expect. I hear most of the Argentinian Captains in Las Malvinas were a bunch of surrender monkeys too. http://www.themag.co.uk/2015/09/captain-coloccini-hides-as-usual-as-club-send-young-debutant-out-to-face-the-cameras/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It really is stretching things to blame the senior defender and captain for having a utterly shit defence and no on-field leadership, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
