I preferred peak Colo, but for longevity, Schar's pretty much out in front. 


I’ll never get this. Peak Colo isn’t better at anything versus peak Schar except his close control. Schar is a better defender and contributes far more going forward.

Notice I said "prefer", yet you've come in with a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

 

To say Colo at his best, i.e. the season he was in the premier league team of the season, playing for a vastly less organised team, has nothing at all on Schar, is frankly extreme bollocks.

 

Either way, regardless of attribute comparison, I preferred watching Colo play to watching Schar play (whom I also enjoy watching).

Coloccini was a clown for the majority of his time here.

 

Very harsh! He was poor in his first season when we got relegated, but the Championship season and beyond he was pretty good - he got in team of the year in 11/12. He also gave the best performance by an NUFC CB I can remember at Sunderland away, probably until Burn in the final.

Crap first season (as was everyone)

Found his feet in the Championship

Steady away back in the PL

Outstanding in the season we finished 5th

Shocking every season after that

I don't recall seeing Schar hit the bar with a header from the 18 yard line

If it went in would you rate it higher than Albert's as our best goal from a defender?

 

Think I'd still have to have it below Albert's

Which was a beaut - but if I remember right, he was playing CF that night (probably the most versatile player in our history)

 

He was that was after Big Les got concussed / knocked out iirc.
