Lotus Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I like to remember the best about people and he had plenty of good games here if we're fair. He had a physique that wasn't really suited to the league but he had a skill set good enough to make it work, for a while at least. Could read the game very well and i've rarely seen a CB make interceptions as often as he did. Rather those than last ditch tackles any day. He certainly had his rough days but don't we all. The letter was a nice touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I can understand him wanting to go but he should have went when things were bad in his private life instead of going home all the time under false pretences, and he should never have signed that new contract last year. We didn't let him go when he wanted to go, rightly so at the time. I would like some kind of explanation as to why he seemed to disappear last season at some stage but I doubt we'll get that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Wish we'd let him sign for Palace last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Wish he'd left without all the shit and his decline as a player was obvious. I'll remember his absolutely outstanding seasons for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'll still remember him fondly. A joy to watch at his best, and more good memories than bad in an era of almost ever-present mitigating factors. He's undoubtedly been a player in decline for at least a couple of years, but he's also been scapegoated far too often. Same here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Good for us with a fresh start without Taylor and Colo. He was my favourite player for a while. Adios! Not to forget Williamson too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm glad he's gone, he was a very good player for us for a while and I still think our treatment of Jonas will have pissed him off at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Sadly prolonged his stay with the club, which resulted in his performance and attitude souring. Was very good for us at times, which people often forget. Will not be missed and should have been shifted about 3 years ago. I look forward to seeing who his replacement is, although I'd be happy with a back-up player as I have every confidence in Lascelles and Mbemba next season.

Guest Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Delighted he's gone. Feels like despite relegation we're finally now heading in the right direction. Excited to see who the replacement we've lined up is too, they must surely expect to be bringing someone in within the next few days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Shame how his career panned out here as he could have been remembered so fondly and as one of our best centre half's of recent times. Due to his attitude and ineptitude (especially as a captain) over the past couple of seasons he'll just not be remembered at all despite 8 years here.

Paully Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Was decent early doors, should have gone and been replaced last year. Decent?! He was tremendous for the most of three and a half years from August 2009 which resulted in him getting into two different PFA team of the seasons! No doubting his legs have been gone for a while and it turned sour for various reasons but people have forgotten how good he was! Our two other top quality centre halves from the Premier League era (Woodgate and Albert) also played in far superior teams and under managers who were on another planet to what Colo played under!

sempuki Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm more interested in who we are getting in. He had taken the piss for far too long. With Colo, Saylor and Iron Mike no longer here we need at least 2 central defenders IMO. Over to you Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm glad he's gone, he was a very good player for us for a while and I still think our treatment of Jonas will have pissed him off at the time. So much so that he signed a new contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
