Chris_R Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Hopefully the good thing about Schar's lack of pace is that because he's not reliant on it, he probably won't lose a yard that'll affect his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Also like others say, not bothered about a DC this January. A DM for me, release Bruno further forward. Feel he's wasted sitting deep, I'd love to see him driving into the box more and getting goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 1 hour ago, Wandy said: I agree with this. Howey was an excellent CB for us. Likewise, Steve Watson was a fantastic full back. Maybe it's because they were local lads that came from the Ardiles team that people underrate them. Woodgate is head & shoulders the best CB seen at NUFC in the last 40 years but obviously people tend to only remember the injuries. For me, peak Collocini is currently the 2nd best CB we have had in that same 40 year period. Botman will likely take that mantle away from him very soon. Schar is superb too and I would put him in the same bracket as Phillipe Albert. Similar playing styles too IMO. I’ll never understand why Coloccini gets away with the absolute shit he served up in his last 4 years, as good as he was in the Championship and for 1-2 seasons in the PL. The amount of absolute drubbings we had when he went missing and goals conceded due to his cowardice or tendency to be bullied. Not to mention the fake injuries. Plus, Schar is better at basically everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Buzzing. Should get a nice little transfer fee now to boost FFP in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Don't think we've done this only to sell him in the Summer. Think we probably do sign a CB in the Summer, but it will be Lascelles who leaves. The new CB will probably be signed with an eye to be phased in as Schars replacement over the course of a year or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Schar is easily ahead of Colo Colo was here for 8 seasons and had probably 3 really good ones (1 of which was in the championship) and he had some horrors too Schar was class under Rafa and has been class under Howe, he's already had more good seasons and in less time Woodgate is a better defender but you have to factor in longevity too, he only had 1 season and whilst he was class it doesn't trump the 3-4 good seasons of Schar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And shit for the other four, although to be fair, he did benefit from the zany hair escalator clause that made some of our support view his time here in rose tinted glasses.
