Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Did nothing, as usual. Didn't even run about as much as Sissoko this time.

 

If he had an ounce of athleticism he'd have been able to intercept the ball in the first goal move.

 

Fair play to him though, we're in a position that reflects his level and has done for years.

He'll probably look pretty good next season (if we are in the Championship).

 

Nope, he'll look at home.  He's no better than the CMs down there.

 

He'll just need to grow a ginger beard and get a bunch of tattoos, he'll fit right in.

I heard that it's in his contract that when available he plays. Comes from a reliable source who used to work for the club who now works at Rangers

 

Well you can see how he would command that sort of Shearer respect.

Absolute bollocks.

Will probably get slaughtered for this but the reason many don't hate him is that he has contributed more in goals and assists than most this season, and he's had a lot of OK performances. He's just an average player, would be fine as backup if we had properly replaced Cabaye.

 

Obviously he's had a lot of awful performances too but so have all of them, and he goes missing way, way too often, but I think that's down to a lack of ability/nous than intentional hiding.

 

Think a lot of the venom for him comes from his bellendery at Sunderland and the fact he HAS been our Cabaye replacement, and he can't even begin to compare. And he was a Pardew fave.

No, a lot of venom for him comes from how little he stacks up against Cabaye, the man he has effectively replaced.  As you say, he's a squad player at very best and even then I reckon there's a dozen Jack Colbacks knocking about the Championship who could do that job.  Yet the powers that be deemed him good enough to be our main man in midfield.  And just look at where we are.  Disgusting.
