Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

 

It's not even worth getting mad over. I'm purely apathetic at this point.

 

If we don't sign a Cabaye replacement and Jack Colback is our only signing then I'm right there with you. For the squad, Colback is perfectly fine.

 

Like I said earlier, I don't think we will bridge the gap in valuations that ourselves and Montpellier have, and another club will be in for Cabella. Then wash and repeat for the next target of real quality.

Is he though?

 

He's yet another average plodder standing between young lads and the first team. Bigi is easily comparable to him in terms of quality now but you know Pardew will just use use him as another reason not to give Bigi a chance to improve.

Sunderland free agent Jack Colback set to join arch rivals Newcastle

 

SUNDERLAND midfielder Jack Colback has turned his back on a £50,000-per-week offer from West Ham to join hometown club Newcastle.

The Black Cats were always resigned to losing the out-of-contract Geordie, who was one of the worst-paid players in the first team squad last season.

His decision to join their bitter rivals ahead of West Ham, however, comes as a major surprise with the Toon's personal terms falling way short of the Hammers' offer.

 

Wow, thanks.

Interesting post on RTG - sounds like some people on here might be underrating Colback

 

he doesnt often hit 9/10 performances like johnson does sometimes but he is far more consistent. our most reliable performer along with mannone, very rarely had a bad game. in a season where we nearly got relegated there was few players you could count on to deliver a decent solid performance every week...jack was one of those players like

 

not surprising so many prem clubs are after him.. he does the simple things so well and is v. composed and has a great engine. doesnt lunge into tackles much. also very crisp passer...as a central mid he has one of the highest pass completion rates in the league

Just because it's well written doesn't make it right.

 

Spot on - I have never rated him - sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards.

Coward of a footballer. Well shot

 

The mags are gona get a shock when they see this very limited, negative player run about a lot contributing four fifths of fuck all

I can see our back four being really exposed if Tiote and Colback play as a pair.

 

They're already exposed to a ridiculous degree, Colback won't make any difference to that. It's Pardew's tactics of not having anyone sitting that's the main problem in that department.
