Jack Colback (now a free agent)

Personally think he's more crow than raven.

[Segun Oluwaniyi]

Well there are shades like, and he's one of the darker shades.

He's probably an onyx. Definitely more onyx than charcoal anyway. Potentially even obsidian.

They should make an additional category just for Abdoulaye Faye.

Man this thread is a mess. You lot are so wrong man.

If Colback had gone off injured for Tiote instead, we'd still have struggled in the same ways as when Anita went off.

 

Not quite to the same extent but yes considering how s*** Tiote is. It's more of a indictment of how this happens pretty much every time Anita is subbed than anything.

 

I can't remember one single game when he was subbed off and the team was still in control.

 

Has Colback ever been subbed off? Maybe once if I recall. It's definitely an issue though. He is NOT the magnificent Geordie captain many make him out to be. He's a competent PL midfielder, but I don't want him in the team at the expense of someone better, or when he's off form.

 

And he's nowhere near as bad as some people on here are making out either. Also he isn't in the team at the expense of anyone better.

The pictures of Sagna when he's on holiday with his missus man, that shit is pure charcoal midnight.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Considering that if he wasn't in the team either De Jong or Perez would play and Wijnaldum would drop back then yes i'd argue he is.

Wew ... that guy's missus is mighty fine. Geez.

Oh dear.

Too right. It's crazy though, despite how fit she is you're drawn to look at Sagna because you just can't believe how dark he is! Everyone on the beach is probably like "oh f*** it's midnight... Or hang on... it's just Bacary! Back to 'bathin!"

[Wallsendmag]

Absolute rubbish. No way could Wijnaldum play in Colbacks role. What a total waste of an attacking minded player who'll score and create plenty of goals for us this season playing him that far back. It's the sort of thing I'd expect from Pardew. In fact scrap that I don't even think he'd be that stupid. He's an attacking midfielder, that's where he's played all his career at Feyenoord and PSV.

I wasn't drawn to look anywhere else at all. Believe me. Yum.

I don't understand why we have to play Winegum deeper.  He is the best attacking midfielder last season in Netherlands and score tons of goals.  Why take him away from his best position?

Because Colback is a ginger mackem cunt.

Yeah totally agree. Zero idea what Mole is about here like.

[KaKa]

I wish we'd just play a midfield 3 with one holding midfielder and the other two with freedom to get forward, but also drop and help defend when the opposition has the ball. I would like to see De Jong and Wijnaldum as the two to play this role, with Anita sitting.

He wants us to play our most creative player, a player with a career average of near enough a goal every 3 games, sitting deep protecting the back 4 in a position unfamiliar to him. It just beggars belief really.

I couldn't give a shit about that if he could do one job really well, i.e. defensive midfielder or attacking midfielder. It seems to me he does a bit of both but neither to much effect. When he's in the side you need another defensive midfielder alongside as insurance policy because he can't do that role on his own whereas I would argue that Anita can.

Except he played CM last year and everything he's best at lends itself to CM rather than it does AM. Also i'm not saying he should to do what Colback does That's the problem in itself, Colback is far too negative and we don't create anything through the middle because of it, we need more impetus from deep positions.

 

Not sure where you got the idea that playing CM is a waste, might want to let Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas know that.

Unfamiliar Only played the whole of last season there in the best year of his career there, also i don't want him sitting and protecting the back 4.

 

You can play CM with attacking license, all the best teams have CMs like that and we desperately need it. What beggars believe is the idea that if you play deeper you are automatically limiting someone and playing them defensively.

 

 

[KaKa]

I feel you Mole. Think they thought you meant holding mid, but you were thinking more box to box. I feel you bro. Respect. School them.

[SEMTEX]

We have more depth at attacking midfield and Gini seems perfectly suited to a traditional central midfield role. Something that no other fucker in the squad is suited to. We do not need two defensively minded midfielders in there.

I watched nearly every PSV game last season and he played primarily as an attacking midfielder, as he did throughout his Feyenoord career. I never once seen him play just in front of the back 4. You can't have 10 attacking outfield players on the pitch man, we'd get murdered as soon as we lost the ball if we did.  David Batty was one of the most negative players we had in the sense that he rarely passed the ball forward but he was great at winning the ball and giving it to someone who would dribble with it and get it forward.

[KaKa]

I am desperate to see De Jong start and play the majority of a game with Wijnaldum and Anita.

 

Poor guy gets put on when both are out, and then no one gets him the ball.

Would be a pretty pointless signing on the face of it if we continue start Colback and Anita tbh, when you consider no one else brings what he brings and we have Perez, De Jong and Cabella who can all play off a striker. Would be benching superior players for no reason what so ever.
