Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

re: colback and england i was actually thinking during the villa game - in all honesty how far below henderson is colback as a player?

 

this is not to say i rate colback particularly highly btw

 

Absolutely miles behind at this stage. Henderson was bang average at best and now he's a very good midfielder imo. Colback is bang average at best...

 

He's just playing with better players and a better coach imho

 

Couldn't disagree more, his progress has been much more than something as simple as that imo.

 

Nah, we saw the real Henderson during the world cup tbh.

Hodgson on Colback: "I've seen him called 'the Ginger Pirlo' in some places." #nufc

 

In his f***ing mams house maybe.

 

Is that real? :lol:

Henderson was fine at doing what he does in the WC imo.

Usually by people taking the piss I'd imagine. The Fenham Pele should be getting a call up too in that case.

Aye, fuck all. :lol:

 

Anyway I'm saying they're similar in many senses, keep it tidy, rarely lose it, rarely make major fuck ups but neither of them have many memorable games tbh

He's referring to this, already posted a few ages back:

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2728574/Wayne-Rooney-Manchester-United-s-natural-leader-Ginger-Pirlo-Jack-Colback-deserves-England-call-Jordan-Henderson-Steven-Gerrard.html

 

Jack Colback is England class – his set-pieces are phenomenal. And he’s got bottle as well.

This kid isn’t stupid. He’s a Geordie who’s well aware of the passions on Tyneside and Wearside. These fans don’t hold back when it comes to rivalries. Even punching a horse isn’t off limits when it’s Newcastle vs Sunderland.

So for a Newcastle fan to make the move from Sunderland to St James’ Park, and on a free transfer – well, you’ve got to admire Colback’s balls.

 

And check out his Newcastle debut. Sure they lost, but you’ve got to have a small-minded football brain to think there were no positives for Alan Pardew after the match, and Colback was one of them.

He’s the Ginger Pirlo, trusted with the set-pieces, and delivering good service with most of them. I like this kid, and I can’t help thinking that if he’d come through at Arsenal, Liverpool or even the 'boutique' academy at Southampton, Colback would have had an England call-up by now.

At Sunderland he was forced to play at full back, and a succession of different managers never got the best out of him consistently until Gus Poyet turned up. He’s a central midfielder who can pass, and who can deliver a deadly set-piece. Go and watch him, Roy.

Agree to disagree, I would have a look at Henderson last season if you get a chance. He was a consistent 7 or 8/10 player in a team that almost won the league. His quality now is much higher than Colback's imo.
