Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Pardew loves an English player.Two games in and all this?! Extraordinary for a pretty standard midfielder. Ben Arfa literally has 50 times the talent,and isn't even allowed to feature.

By next week he'll be signing for Barca.

Keeps it up til January and Mike will be flogging him to Spurs or something for a vastly inflated price.

 

£10m profit in 6 months? Usually how he operates isn't it?

We'd have to sell him for about £20m for it to be a £10m profit in Mike's world. Can't forget about dem signing on fees, agent fees and wages for his entire contract here, no matter if he is staying for the full contract or not.

Good point. Gutted we've let £20m, Ginger Pirlo, England international, Killingworth Cabaye go for nowt :-(

:lol: Can't believe he's been called up for England, man.

 

Shows how pathetic our options are at the moment.

 

Given that Zat Knight got an England start during a time when we had basically the best CB options in international football, it shows absolutely nothing of the sort. Negativity for no reason, man.

It's very much en vogue to play down anything associated with us at the moment though, and with Ashley and Pardew destroying the club I don't blame the negativity. IMO Colback deserves the call-up purely based on that there aren't many that are so clearly more deserving than him in CM at the moment.

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.

 

A different manager with a different, more positive philosophy would have seen us get out of it. As has been mentioned, Costa Rica made it out...
