madras Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, Lazarus said: Woodgate also played alongside Ronaldo (the good one), Zidane, Roberto Carlos, Sergio Ramos, Raul, Casillas, Beckham etc etc Botman isnt at that level yet. Was Woodgate at that level at Real ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Woodgates only problem was how injury prone he was. If it wasn't for that he'd have been the best English centre back there'd been in years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Lazarus said: He was a crock before, during and after us. Probably because of his lifestyle and he was regularly in trouble after nights out iirc. But when he was fit, he was unreal and had it all. I’ve never seen someone make a challenge look as comfortable as Woodgate did. The fact he made Bramble look good (ish) is a testament to his skill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just now, Lazarus said: No, but if he could have stayed consistently fit he would have been, imo. Stayed fit ? He never had been. Wasn't the stat that he never played more than 6 consecutive games (you know what I mean) until he was basically finished ? Still the best CH I've seen for us.......there is a new nominee who could make me alter the view soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Woodgate was unbelievable, if he'd stayed fit there would very much have been the argument for him to be playing alongside Rio Ferdinand for England instead of Campbell and then Terry, he was comfortably at that level. Botman's not there yet but it doesn't really matter when he's probably already done more in a Newcastle shirt due to Woodgate's persistent injuries.

Zero Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Botman over Woodgate any day for me, simply because one is always available and one is always unavailable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Botman will be a top 5 CB in the world very soon and it’ll be in a black and white Newcastle shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) When we bought Woodgate we were linked heavily with John Terry, Chelsea were perhaps about to do the first stage of a Leeds and begin sellling players. Mourinho was set to come in and work under Sir Bobby then take over. Fitness notwithstanding probably the best pre-planning this club ever made. Such a fine line. Instead Abramovic rocks up, we get Bowyer on a free and nothing else and the rest is history. Edited December 28, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLUMPO235 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 He was excellent today. There was one tackle where he seemed to take on two of them and get the ball out all in a split second. As of it was nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
