joeyt Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 If we had peak Coloccini at the club now, where would he slot into our current back 3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Left of the three imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Good question, do you rate him better than Schar or Lejeune? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Both. Schar & Lejeune are very good but ‘peak’ Coloccini was one of the best in the league for a spell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Got a feeling bruce won’t appreciate Lejeune as he isn’t a ‘big strong defender’ and he will eventually be sold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Lejeune is just as strong as Lascelles and Fernandez. He's bigger than Clark. He just happens to also be much better at kicking the ball than them as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Lejeune is much better than Coloccini ever was. If you’re comparing him with 33-34 year old Coloccini aye but Coloccini from late 2009 to 2012 was immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Rafa has been good with centre backs. Our top three who would be starting were all missing for the majority of the game yesterday, but the next three in line all put in solid shifts.

Raconteur Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Lejeune is much better than Coloccini ever was. If you’re comparing him with 33-34 year old Coloccini aye but Coloccini from late 2009 to 2012 was immense. Original quote has to rank as one of the most outlandish comparisons ever made on this forum. Peak Colo, even peak Toon Colo, was in a different league to Lejeune - who I am very fond of and is probably our best all-round centre-half. It's not far from saying Schar is better than Woodgate.

Magpie Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Completely disagree, I honestly think Lejeune is better than PEAK Coloccini. Still neither as good as peak Woodgate mind. The dense smoggie twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I love Lejeune but he’s nowhere near Coloccini’s level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We haven't seen anywhere near enough of Lejeune to say he is better than peak Coloccini like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Coloccini in that 11/12 season when we finished 5th was simply outstanding and was hitting levels week in week out that I've never seen yet from Lejeune. Made it into the PL team of the year that season iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Lejeune has better distribution, both in terms of range and consistency, I feel you could say that from what we've seen of him. I don't think there are many other aspects you could say he's clearly superior, at least not from the limited amount we've seen so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Coloccini in that 11/12 season when we finished 5th was simply outstanding and was hitting levels week in week out that I've never seen yet from Lejeune. Made it into the PL team of the year that season iirc. 100% this - Colo that season was miles better than what Lejeune has shown for us so far!

Guest Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Even the season before he was one of our best players, and the season after, the game against Sunderland when we drew 1-1 with Tiote being sent-off, was one of the best CB performances I’ve ever seen from a Newcastle defender.

joeyt Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Schar Lejeune Colo Debuchy Enrique Cabaye Tiote HBA Remy Ba would be fun to watch. Although I think Colo would be good in a David Luiz-esque sweeper type of thing that Conte used him as Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
