Kolarov Leaving?

[pee dubya]

Don't get the hate for Kolarov at all.

I think it's a classic case of the youtube video hype. People were expecting some kind of Bale/Carlos hybrid but hadn't actually seen him play.

Personally i think he's done ok, not brilliant, but he's not been a failure either. Also a player like him should only get better, his game isn't based around athleticism. More experience (he's not actually played at this sort of level for that long) which is very important for the full back position.

Jose admitted that he wanted Kol but was "blown outta the water by City".
Just thought i'd say like if not already been mentioned.

First season in England is always hard to get up to pace. Look at most of our over seas signings apart from Silva they have all struggled since they have come here. I think he should be given next season and see how he gets on. Playing in the fullback roles must be the hardest position to play with the amount of ground they cover in a average game.

If Kolarov goes in the summer I think we as a club and fans need to take a look at ourselves. He has not had a chance to lay down roots, hasn't played a full season but people are so eaten up with themselves that they will discard him without a second thought because he isn't good enough for us, when did we become so uppity. There will always be bigger and better out there but lets give the players we have a chance first. Kolarov hasn't been that bad and scored the goal that gave us the chance to stay in Europe.
Maybe he hasn't settled as quickly as some would wish but who's to say with a bit of time and believe he will next season. People moan about the need for team spirit etc but in the same breathe are quite happy to get rid of Dzeko, Boateng, Kolarov before they have played a full season. If we start this practice of shipping players out in this way, it just screams new money and no class imo.

Well said.

This thread demonstrates the very worst of what has happened to the fans in just a few short years. If we want to stop hearing about having no class we need to start showing some.

not settled in my arse. after hes settled in will he get an extra yard of pace and be able to use his right peg a bit ? no he wont. we paid too much for an average player yet again. get rid. imho he wont improve. 2nd best left back in the world my arse. hes not 2nd best in manchester.

An interrupted pre season and three months out with a major injury will affect his speed, I would expect improvement in that area.

you have pace or you dont mate.

No where near as bad as he's being made out. He'd be much more effective if someone made a near post run occasionally

This times a million, but the thing is, our fkin striker(singular) is on the halfway line.

sorry people all this he needs time to settle is bollox,he's shocking,his only redeeming feature is his left peg and to be honest if you look at his free kicks and corners that doesn't look so good after a season.
even bobby has moved him away from lb but he still carries no threat in midfield

Just saying that he isn't currently operating at 100%, and that a full pre season and a run of games will see an improvement in (amongst other things) his speed around the pitch.

He's never going to be lightning quick, but I don't think you need to be.
