Disco Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If Colback wasn't English there's no way he'd be the guaranteed starter in our team that he is. He likely not even be considered good enough for this league. Aye, we're famous for our pick-a-player-because-he's-English policy. He's a canny player, no more, no less. If he's canny please tell me what is good or indeed canny at, aside from looking ill and being unable to close his mouth? Scoring and creating more than Anita and Tiote combined this season. Top analysis/conversation. You're right. I'll avoid replying with footballing facts and acknowledge your "looking ill and being unable to close his mouth" comment as the pinnacle of footballing analysis. Ooo snappy. Fine, I think he's average at best aka not "canny/decent" because he hides in games, lacks athleticism and comes across a massive lickarse in the local media - care to counter?

TheHoob Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I've had to force myself not to keep an eye on him when he's playing because he annoys me so much. His version of showing for the ball is to run in a straight line to the player who is in posession and then stand about 3 foot away screaming for a pass.

DJ_NUFC Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Of course he has more goals and assists. He's started more games than Anita and Tioté combined . Besides, if he's in the team to get goals and assists he f***ing s*** at it. Especially considering he's the set piece taker. He plays more than Anita because he's better than him. the same way Gouff was playing more than cabella and ben arfa imo. Good points m8 Ben Arfa could be playing for the mighty Hull right now if they thought he was worth the bother. Gouffran's time in the side might be limited now if Cabella continues to progress. Which woodwork are you people crawling out from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 he's bang average, unfortunately this is where we sit and have now become, if things were how they should be he would be a guaranteed starter for someone like Hull City, Stoke City etc,however he was free so we signed the clogger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I find it's always the most knowledgeable and intelligent posters who prefer Colback over Anita. That's actually correct, although I know you're being sarcastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It is odd that Colback generates such passionate dislike and discussion on here. Both him and Anita are very average players, who are fine to have in the team, but not special by any means. Both have useful skills but struggle to impose themselves and compete physically in games at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It is odd that Colback generates such passionate dislike and discussion on here. Both him and Anita are very average players, who are fine to have in the team, but not special by any means. Both have useful skills but struggle to impose themselves and compete physically in games at this level. I think for a long while people where hyping up ANita to be better than he is, therefore a discussion is to be had. After this current little run in the side the consensus has been "meh, he's just alright"., And again, Colback isn't the crap player we thought we where signing but again, no better than alright. So what's happened is they're both in the "meh" category and Abeid is the new CM saviour. Arguing between Anita & Colback is pretty futile. Similar in many ways - especially the negative e.g. the ghost acts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Still don't get how a Geordie, Newcastle fan as a kid etc can make Sssssh motions after scoring against us, and then go out on social media taking the piss with 3-0 hand signals, never mind the fact it was basically common knowledge he was signing for us in the summer.

Personally I'm more concerned about him offering very little on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
