AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I don't think Colo is anywhere near Schar TBH, Woodgate is close or better on ability but on overall contribution this lad has to be the GOAT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I preferred peak Colo, but for longevity, Schar's pretty much out in front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I’m just generally not attached to any of the players from the Ashley era really. It wasn’t a time to love footballers. (Except Hatem obvs) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
