Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

'does a lot of running'? :lol:

 

It's literally all he does. He chases a lot and intercepts sometimes, so fans like him. Ignoring the fact he's fucking terrible on the ball which is kinda important for a central midfielder.

 

 

haha me excused, which fans like him exactly?

 

Honestly if we had a better option than him to play in centre mid, then brilliant, but I can't think of anyone. Colback Abeid and Sissoko have been our 3 best midfielders this season.

Pretty much any fan of Alan Pardew is also a fan of Jack Colback.

 

Also if you went to school with him as he was a canny lad.

Aye. He's pretty fly for a ginge guy.

Why do our fans literally everywhere give him incredible amounts of praise, you would honestly think he was having the same effect as a Speed or a Lee the way they bang on, even my mates who I consider to have a good NUFC knowledge all spout the same shit about his performances and what he does for the team, the reasons mostly always boil down to that "gives 100%" every game, if that was the requirement of a worthwhile player I'd be up front.

It's because he's local. Some people also think he's a 'legend' for leaving the Mackems to come here. He's also one of those players who takes no risks so doesn't necessarily do any thing dreadful that sticks in the memory like players who actually try to make things happen.

I was amazed by how off the pace he looked at times when seeing him up close at West Ham.  Slowly jogging behind the player with the ball rather than busting a gut to get it back.  Honestly don't think he gives 100% at all, unless his stamina's that shit that he's loitering around half-arsed for large periods of the game.
