Tooj 17 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Shows up Geordie Boy Steven Taylor something rotten. It's ok though, Taylor is still inexperienced and has been playing alongside shite for a while, that's why his progress has been hindered. Nothing to do with his lack of ability of course.

KingKev 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Pleased to see the club trying to give him a new contract rather than the likes of Viduka & Smith - if rumours are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 He's an excellent defender like pity we didn't get finds like this more often to think his career here started off with chants about his shirt number as no one knew who he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than showing him up, Bassong compliments Collocini well. Unlike Taylor. The only reason Collocini is not getting any stick is because he is new to the country. He looks weak and prone to the odd clanger. Agreed, that he does look better with Bassong next to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I think if Collo is given this season to settle and plays alongside Bassong regularly, he'll do well for us next year. Providing he doesn't get hampered by injury or the crowd turning. I thought Enrique looked good yesterday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1199 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was he one of Wise's finds? Absolute steal. Just hope he doesnt have his head turned in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the air he looks poor but when the ball is on the deck he looks assured. He's a good player, there's no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks weak and prone to the odd clanger. Agreed, that he does look better with Bassong next to him though. I think he has had a bit of stick. He lacks a bit of pace and aerial ability. The thing is though, he's a sweeper. Taylor isn't (although he seems to think covering behind the keeper is part of his remit). That's why I think the comparison with Bassong is more apt because they're both the 'marking CB' / the one whop attacks the ball more as opposed to the one who drops off more. I also think for this reason Colo compliments Bassong better than Taylor would too. I know you've rated Taylor since day one but he just isn't good enough imo. He isn't good enough in terms of any one aspect of his game - strength, pace, reading of the game, ability on the ball, aerial ability. He's just not a very good defender.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was he one of Wise's finds? Absolute steal. Just hope he doesnt have his head turned in the summer. According to some "ITKs" him and Guthrie were KKs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was he one of Wise's finds? Absolute steal. Just hope he doesnt have his head turned in the summer. KK signing I heard. Came on a trial and KK liked the look of him. They kept it quiet he was here which is why he played in that friendly without his name on the team sheet. Guthrie was a KK signing too supposedly. The rest were down to Wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 To be offered a new deal in the summer according to the Chronicle. Rumours abound that top clubs were sniffing around him in January.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Best discovery we've made in god knows how many years and as people have said he's shown up the oft used excuse for Taylor that e's young and has been in a dodgy defence with nobody to learn from, pressure on him etc. If you're good enough you'll show it, and Bassong has done that every game. I think if we can get and keep them all fit, that Beye-Colo-Bassong-Enrique is a very conpetent defence especially if they could be helped by having a half decent midfield in front of them so the ball doesn't keep coming at them every second!

tinofbeans 91 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 would it be fair to say that when they were on their game 100% that this would be our best defensive back 4 for some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
