Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

People are talking like no one in the Championship even plays football. Is it some other sport where completely different skills are needed?

 

Colback is shit at football.

We're in the Championship now like. I'm pretty certain Rafa Benitez would not want Jack Colback as a regular midfielder in the Premiership.

 

Ana, just on the wind-up trail. Doubt he would have been flogged if we had stayed up either mind.

 

And yes Kasper, it pretty much is.

Well yeah, but they're no where near the level of your average Premiership player, and as a team we'll be one of the strongest there as opposed to one of the weakest. Look at Wayne Routlege for us during our promotion and then during our first season up. Guthrie looked really good, Ameobi had a better than 1 in 2 record.

 

First season here he went through that period of popping up in and around the box and scored a few, there's been a few games too where he's been willing to zip into challenges and play the ball quickly forward, Chelsea 2-2 probably being the best example. He's not an awful footballer by any means, he's an awful Premiership footballer as he's absolutely shit scared and ends up doing silly things like diving over the ball to avoid having to take responsibility and shoot.

 

We still need an imposing central midfielder though, even if him and Shelvey turn out decent in this league.

Why do we always need to have one player we hate ? The stick this lad gets is way over the top

He would definitely have been replaced if we'd stayed up. Still might be tbh, I would think Rafa would want some grit and mobility in central midfield, but he might make do for this season.

Hes just a complete nothing player, I couldn't point to one aspect of his game and say hes really decent at this or quite good at that.

 

He contributes nowt going forward, he can't tackle, he can't stay with his man because hes too slow and his passing game is atrocious above 5-6 yards.

 

Often ruins the fluidity of our attacking game when he doesn't know what to do with the ball when he gets it.

Colback is not nearly as bad as some of you lot are making out.

 

Like most of them he was gash last season. If we're being honest, the OTT hatred stems from the fact that he's the anti-footballing hipster prototype. A local player whose strength lies in hard work rather than a bag of tricks or the odd Hollywood pass.

 

A genuine football man like Rafa will be able to get some use out of him.

People dislike him because he's shit and enjoyed scoring against us for the Mackems.

Aye, it has nothing to do with anti-football hipster nonsense like. He scored against his home club and then mocked us to gain street cred with them lot :lol:

 

Then, like with Gouffran, he was clearly not good enough yet the manager and club had no plans to replace him, so he just kept playing and annoying everyone.

Colback doesn't even work any harder than your average, why does that always get said? First sign of a useless clogger, when that's the first and only attribute anyone can come up with in his favour.
