Klaus Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Seeing more and more stories about Colback over facebook etc, hes not a bad player but certainly not the level of player that will help us improve. He would be a decent squad addition, but thats about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Colback had a good game last night in centre mid. Tidy player, keeps the play moving on and can carry it forward. He doesn't have that killer pass in him but on a free I'd be happy with the signing. Perhaps biased as I went to school with him but he's a canny lad too, despite all the ginger insults you read from no marks on the Internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I sure Pardew spouted almost exactly the same rhetoric last year and we ended up renting a player that didn't want to come in the first place, go back to Lawnden Pardew your drunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average English clogger I was having this conversation with Ste last night. He isn't good enough for our first team but as a squad player he is, he is arguably better than anything we have on the bench, Ben Arfa and Bigi aside.

Ste Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 On a free, bearing in mind how many player we need to bring in and what our budget will be like, Colback is a good signing. He'll do better than people expect. As for clogger, I don't think Colback commits many fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Pretty sure Ronaldo said that he cringed when the Beckford and Cole comparison was first made and it turned out he was the one that started the comparison in the first place Beckford's approach reminded me of Andy Cole when I used to see him play at Elland Road. I also said when we were linked with him that he was nowhere near a PL player, which should have nullified the extent of the Cole comparison, but it didn't. But, yeah, I'll never live that one down.

Disco Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Colback isn't a clogger like. If anything he's the opposite. Much more likely to hide than get stuck in, he'll fit in well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
