Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

“The beauty is that it depends on the opposition, you can pencil him (Jack Colback) in to do a number of roles.

 

“If you are the dominant force then he might take a more defensive position because his passing range is fantastic, a bit like Yohan Cabaye’s.

 

“He can also carry a threat when teams are more assertive – for us we can offer him a more forward role where he can use his energy.

 

“He has got just a great all round ability – I am not sure where England will have plans for him but what I do know, is number four or number either, he can do either of those quite comfortably.”

 

“He is our player but of course six months ago he was at Sunderland so they have to take some credit as well…”

 

:facepalm:

 

'I think this shows we was making the right decision getting rid of Yohan Cabaye and replacing him with a current England international whilst freeing up funds to monitor players elsewhere'

 

:lol:

When we are the dominant force? Fuck off out of here man. :lol:

 

This is the manager who is shit-scared of Gillingham in his pre-match talk ffs. Who do we have to play to be dominant, Central High U9s?

 

What an utter melt.

Colback's all-round qualities are a real asset, because whatever situation he finds himself in, he can make a reasonably good fist of it. He's not a specialist creative player who can't tackle, or a defensive player who can't pass. It's also easier to get the right blend in midfield, with players like Colback.

 

We have three great young midfielders in Wilshere, the Ox and Barkley. We need someone behind them to hold things together. Henderson is the front runner, but he hasn't made an overwhelming case, so even though I wasn't expecting a call-up for Colback at this point, I can see why Hodgson at least wants to take a look at him.

...is the wrong way to look at it. It's a team game, and he adds something to the team.

I think the FA are only sticking with Hodgson because the other options are so limited. He had a decent Euro 2012, he'll do for the 2016 tournament. That'll be their mindset.

 

He was responsible for our worst performance at a World Cup since 1958. There's no reason whatsoever for him to be kept in a job.

 

 

You performed as expected at the World Cup. England were never getting out of that group, sorry.

It doesn't even make any sense.  If we're on top we want him to sit back in a defensive position, if we're under the cosh we want him to get forward?

 

Boil it down it sounds very much like kick it long and run around.

He adds nothing interesting. I'm not entertained by him running round 90 minutes with his gob hanging open, although I am slightly intrigued

:lol: he's gone into overdrive of c*** quotes so far this season

 

:lol: He's f***ing unbearable at the minute.

 

:lol: He's got so much swagger since he didn't get s*** canned last year.

Same cunt who was too scared to step out of the dugout 3 months ago.
