Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

I like him, don't understand the stick he gets on here. Very tidy, rarely messes up, good defensively and can every now and then chip in with an assist (like today and Chelsea). Certainly the lease of our issues. He, Abeid and Sissoko should be our midfield 3

I'd rather we got a proper Cabaye replacement to finish off that midfield 3.

He's not a bad player really he's just a sign of limited ambition. He's a bottom of the premier league, top of the championship sort. Occaisionally puts in a good shift but ultimately not good enough to produce much from midfield.

Loki's right like :lol:

 

I don't even think he's a bad player, that would be daft, but he's a far cry from the commanding central midfielder you need. He fills in a role because we have no-one better - maybe Abeid but we'll have to see more of him.

 

I see Colback as more of a standard box to box central midfielder (Rob Lee with less goals) rather than a tiote-esque DM. I definately think he has a role in this team because he is decent if not spectacular both defensively and offensively, which is useful in a 3 man midfield with a good DM and a more able offensive midfielder like Sissoko. What we need is a Tiote replacement in addition to Colback.

Just bringing back old news really but I've skimped the football forum lately. In any case it's complete horse shite.

He is average at best, because he puts himself about against the likes of Chelsea and Man City the thick cunts in our support are hailing him as a class player and great signing. Thickest fan base in Football.

For me he's still got a hell of a lot to do to convince me he's a good player and not just an absolute little c***.  Then when he's done that, I'll remember we replaced Cabaye with him and still think he's average at best, and an absolute little c***.

Will no doubt get dogs abuse from the mackems next week. Would be nice to see him put his finger to his lips after he scores our fifth. Then I woke up.

 

Incredible that we've never scored more than 1 against them in the 7 times we've faced them under Pardew.  So bad.

Watched the match again and Colback was surprisingly good, didn't lose the ball hardly and you can't blame him for not being able to get very close to arsenal's slick passing movements. Compare him to chieck, who lost the ball a lot and had everyone's heart in mouth when he tried his ballerina pirouttes routine.... Jeezuz

He isn't a player who is going to impress us but if you watch him closer he really does help us tick and does everything well (but not greatly), I couldn't fualt the lad tbh. if he was 6 inches taller he would be majestic...Honest!

Compare him to the other midfielders we had on the pitch and he was head and shoulders above both tiote and Gouffran, sammy does other things (he looked good taking on their defense at times) so isn't a great comparison.
