r0cafella Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I remember the mackems going mental over Lee Clark and the SMB t-shirt. I thought we were better than that lot down the road? Give your heeds a shake, FFS. I think Colback will come in and do a job. Is he the big creative signing we all hope for? Nope, but he's versatile and English and will hopefully improve given time. What does English have to do with it? I'm of the belief that we need more young english players in the squad., I think we need more good English players In the squad. We've had English before see Gosling, and nationality is irrelevant if they aren't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well, I guess the hard lads will now have their new target, if he signs - now Shola is leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good English players cost shitloads (there is the rare exception), average English cost a fair bit as well. Need to either grow our own or continue to let Carr do his thing but with a manager who knows how to use a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Being good trumps nationality every single time. Not arsed about where he was born, who he's played for or how many fingers he's stuck up in a random twitter picture. I'm arsed because I believe him to be deeply average and yet another player signed because he's going cheap/free and he'll fill a gap. May as well have kept Perch ffs.

DJ_NUFC Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 ... and we take a foothold on another rung down the ladder. Kenwyn Jones and Jack Colback. Any fan thinking these two are worthy of this club have truly drunk the club's coolaid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Is the Jones rumour just that or is it a serious bid, I think it might just be a smoke screen whilst we negotiate a deal for a 25 goal a season humdinga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Would be a mediocre signing at best, especially if he's going to be a first team regular. (Plus he's a fucking cunt and he can fuck right off. Fuck him). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 What's been said to make everyone so convince he's coming? I think it was pretty much nailed on before Sunderland did the great escape, with the contract situation you can understand why we'd be keen. He's okay technically from what I've seen, but lacks pace for a top club. I'm not sure where he'd fit into our side though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was initially signed to control possession and the tempo of a game iirc. Feed him the ball as much as possible and let him dictate play - that was the plan that was sold to Cabaye.

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Colback is perfect for Pardew, works hard and runs all day. He is so going to play left midfield covering our left back. I threw up in my mouth a little bit then.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The abuse, FFS. I don't remember this much grief when we signed Bracewel from that lot! Gotta give the lad a chance - assuming he signs. Bracewell was a major coup at the time I seem to recall, as was Venison and both were excellent signings for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they both weren't from Newcastle and posing for photos where they were fully aware of what the impact would be.
