I'd be happy to see us switch Taylor for a more dependable centre-back. He's had more bad/injured days than good, imo. Just not dependable at all and I'd like to see Colo/Yanga first-choice this season. We'd definitely need to sign a replacement 3rd choice, though. Ideally someone for 4th choice, too. Gonna be annoying seeing Williamson still getting games next season.

We're going to get bummed in the air and against physical sides

Colo is not strong or fantastic in the air, neither is MYM and N'Koulou is 5'10"

Which sides would these be who would bum us with a Colo/MYM partnership?

Well not bum us but the strikers would definitely enjoy playing against them. Wouldn't fancy Colo or MYM against Lukaku, Benteke, Carroll anyone good in the air or strong

 

Not even mentioning set pieces, attacking and defending them would be horrific

Wow Sunday rags have no Toon rumours, BBC Gossip & google "Newcastle United" news search both lack anything.

To be fair JFK is on holiday this week so fuck all will happen.

 

Sure SSN  said he only went as it was already booked but he is remaining in constant contact incase a transfer can happen.

 

Just see it now him on the lash from 9am every day, gets the call dinner time "Hoe we can sign Bony for £12m" - "ah fuck it sign he cunt, Mike loves me he won't mind *hic* get his agent to ring me"

I don't care that he booked his holiday before he got the job, he's the DOF, the summer transfer window is the main time he should be working. It's like Santa going on holiday on Christmas eve.

 

To make matter worse he's been in the job for about a month now and he's only been in Newcastle for 2 weeks already, why didn't he take his holiday in the 2 weeks he was doing fuck all?

No one allowed to say anything at all from the club to the media is my guess and even the press cannot be arsed to make anything up  :mike:

Taylor, for all his faults, is probably our most dependable CB when fit alongside Colo.

 

I don't think we'll ever have a good enough pool of centre halves while he's here though, because he's always the reason we don't buy anyone else good enough, and always injured.

You're basing that on conjecture though. The one time Yanga-Mbiwa and Colo played together was away at Metalist iirc and despite barely knowing each other as a partnership they looked superb in that game simply due to how good both are at reading the game. You're also underestimating Yanga-Mbiwa physically.

Even if Colo played we still would have got bummed that day.... the real issue was the protection in front of the back 4 and the massive gap between the midfield and the back 4.

 

We could have had Nesta and Maldini at the back and the end result would have been the same.

Was a slow tempo European game where we were set up to defend. Different kettle of fish to the Premier League.

 

I find it amazing how blaze some seem over even the merest hint of Taylor leaving. He's a good solid Premier League defender, our second best CB (although Mapou has the ability to overtake him given enough games) and importantly he's a Geordie, a rarity in a team of mainly foreigners. His Premier League experience alone is vital. To allow Taylor to leave would be crazy, regardless.

 

This reminds me of how happy some people seemed to be losing Ba because it would mean Cisse would score 50 goals a game or something.

 

You want to be keeping your best players and Taylor when fit is certainly one of our better players. Lately, when he plays, he rarely lets us down and has developed into a tough, competent Premier League CB whose partnership with Colo is easily one of the best in the division outside of the usual suspects.

Eh, we bought Colo and Mapou while he was here.

 

 

 

In Colo, Mapou and Taylor we actually have 3 very good CBs, only Williamson dilutes this 'pool'.

 

:lol: Lets get rid of a quality CB to get another quality CB in to improve our quality pool...  :bounce:

I take your point but I think you know what I'm saying, we've obviously got other centre halves, I'm not saying he's the only one we've got. I'm saying he's taking up a place in the squad that could be filled by someone who can play more regularly and avoid us having to play the likes of Williamson.
