Ste Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I talked loads of s*** about him but his passing was quick, decisive and he put in some good tackles and effort. Some of his play switching was really good to see. Fair play Kanji. I said in the match thread I thought he and Cabella looked the best out of our squad. If he continues to play like that and celebrate like a madman versus Sunderland if he scores, then, hey no problem with him. I'll always have my opinions of players, but the moment they step on the pitch and look like they give a shit + put in a good account of themselves, I'll always be OK with it. I think with that criteria, you'll approve of the signing. I'd much prefer someone in the mould of Cabaye in that position, someone with a real eye for an incisive pass that I think Colback is lacking at times, but Colback is good and consistent at what he does. The talk of bias on my part is natural but I like to think my opinion on him is level headed and considered. He's no world beater at all, and he'll never get capped by England, but as a member of our squad he's very useful indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 "Well Colback played a Premiership game and wasn't 'shite' so I take back everything. Great signing. Let's get rid of Krul and replace him with Paddy Kenny." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 What do you want him to say? I want him to send me a handwritten apology, and then get to writing some more articles in the same vain as the one on Pardew which I enjoyed reading immensely.

r0cafella Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Your high horse parked up for the night like is it? Not sure why we lost and Colback managed to make a few passes and a couple of tackles. Hardly worthy of the high ground tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 We got rid of Cabaye and have replaced him with Colback, it's fucking terrible for the club and Colback's still a dick. It didn't matter who we "replaced" Cabaye with, we'd still be lacking. Cabaye was an excellent player. You're gonna be miffed for a long time if you continue to expect Colback to be Cabaye 2.0, as he was never signed to be that player for us regardless of who he replaced in the squad. I think de Jong is more or less meant by the club to be Cabaye's replacement on the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I don't know why he's been compared to Tiote anyway. It was clear that Colback's best role was as a box to box. He was a lot worse deeper when Anita went off and he had to do that job. Even if Colback proves himself to be as good as his defenders say it will be in the box to box role. I wouldn't trust him over Tiote or Anita as the deepest midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Regardless of what combination of Sissoko/Anita/Tiote/Colback we play in central midfield, we're going to be lacking on creativity. So it's really an entirely pointless debate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 This "better than Tiote" stuff is all based on guess work and imagination like. Yep, tbh Colback isn't going to be exposed much the way we are set up now, in a 3 man midfield sitting in our own half. I can't imagine his recovery would be too good in an attacking midfield with two wingers. He doesn't look the quickest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see his as an Anita alternative due to his lack of threat in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
