Dokko Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thing is, i think Colback would be a decent signing for us under different circumstances, and i dont mean him coming directly from Sunderland. His problem there is his options are limited to pass to, therefore he ends up going backwards a lot which frustrates the fans. He tries not to put any more pressure on a weak defence and plays it safe. They hate him for it when in reality its better than blood and thunder Cattermole who then makes stupid mistakes or daft decisions trying to chase his own shite passing. Because Catts can kick a player 4 foot in the air he's seen as useful to some degree. Colback gets a bad rep simply down to not doing anything of note because he's not stupid enough to play risky in a shite team, while seeing first hand for years Cattermole do it and try to cover that plank. In a more attack minded team and one not under serious pressure he'd be a good player. Go to Everton under Martinez and he'd develop in to a good prem player, come here under Pardew and he'd be the same player as at Sunderland, only he'd have serious problems fitting in due to his roots. Don't get me wrong he won't be anything special, but teams are made of players like him, good ones and ones that win things because they can keep a team ticking over when the squad is called in to action.

loki679 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'd have Sissoko, Anita, Bigi, Tiote, or Abeid ahead of him in midfield so he'd be sixth choice at best for me. Just pointless signing bang average cloggers. If you want to improve you sign players who will improve your first 11 and push the current players down the pecking order. Unless we plan to play him at full back or on the wing which is always a possibility with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we plan to play him at full back or on the wing which is always a possibility with us. He's on par with Anita currently in terms of premiership quality, Anita simply hasn't done enough so far and probably never will under Pardew. Miles ahead of Bigi and Abeid. Sissoko is fucking excellent for one game out of 25, i'd have him ahead of him as well in the other 24 games. Unfortunately right in the centre he'd probably start next to Tiote pushing Anita out. We'd need a 1st team midfielder, but as others have said he'd be Gosling's replacement, same Dan Gosling who is currently getting games ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are replacing shite with average and hopefully buying a Cabaye replacement. Like i've said though i am against the move under pardew, he'd stand no chance.

He's done nothing, well very very little. Think colback is more suited to the prem and would actually play a better game in the current setup. That's mostly not Anita's fault.

midds Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Completely immaterial who signs, they're all playing for a fucking idiot who hasn't got the first clue how to mould/organise a team. Nothing on the park will get better until this utter cunt goes, it's just a matter of shuffling shit around and waiting for it to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said I'd have Colback here, but he's still a step below Anita. I'd have him because he can play multiple positions and is far better than the so called footballer Gosling.
