Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

I can't get on board with this ginger twat like :lol:

 

Hello

 

Colback has played at SJP in red and white before – scoring in 2008’s 2-1 reserve team success against the Magpies.

 

“I expect the game to be a bit more intense than that one!” said Colback.

 

“But if we could pull off the same result, I’d be over the moon, especially if I scored.”

I changed the SJP bit obviously.

 

Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback has revealed some Newcastle United fans clapped the visitors off the pitch after Sunday's derby win.

 

Colback was a second-half substitute in the famous 3-0 triumph.

 

“I was getting quite a lot of stick warming up – you’ll not need to ask why – so it as good to get the last laugh," he told The Journal.

 

“To be fair, there were a couple of Newcastle fans who had been giving me a bit of stick, but they clapped me off. So give them their due, although 99 per cent were still effing and blinding.

 

“It was a great day for the team, the staff, the manager and obviously the fans. They’ve finally got the chance to give some stick back and I’m sure they’ve been doing that.”

Even if this cunt goes on to be the ginger Messi, he's still going to make me puke

 

The Sunderland midfielder is from the north of the River Tyne, brought up a Geordie but a product of Sunderland legend Kevin Ball’s hard work in a youth system which also developed and nurtured his close friend Jordan Henderson.

 

Colback is Sunderland through and through now – as his reaction to his recent goal at St James’ Park demonstrated. He is in talks with Gus Poyet to extend the contract which expires at the end of this season and if anyone among the Uruguayan’s squad can understand the pain of 41 years without a trophy for the Mackem faithful, it is the boy from Cramlington.

Jenas was a decent lad and a good, solid player who was ridiculously overhyped by Bobby to the extent he could never live up to it.

 

Harsh to blame Bobby - Souness made him captain and called him the next Vieira, that probably did it.

 

Probably did what, man? I'm talking about the expectations the fans had of Jenas brought on by Bobby saying he'd be England's main CM for 10 years. Not Souness making him captain for a few games in Shearer's absence by which time he'd lost a hell of a lot of popularity because of poor performances in the 5th place season.

 

Nobody's fault, as such.

He could have been tbh. Had all the attributes. Had a very strange career

 

Him and Dyer had great potential, just never worked out for either of them due to differing circumstances. Jenas just couldn't handle any kind of pressure.

Was delighted when we signed him tbh, had it all ahead of him, just never happened.

Was also over the moon when we signed Glass bones and Bramble as well :lol: it's a funny old world

Yeah, he was fragile mentally. That was the problem with him. Had bags of ability.

 

They were both brilliant players, they didn't really give a shit though imo.

He was a decent athlete with very clean passing and striking of the ball who never really had the type of ability we're seeing from, say, Barkley now. That's someone who'll be in England's midfield for 10 years. Same as Gerrard, very different type, but he was dominating PL games in his late teens.

I'd say it worked out pretty well for both of them. Under Robson we played CL football with both of them pretty instrumental in those 3rd and 4th place finishes. Jenas' value increased here, and Dyer's did too despite being a crock. Neither of them was top, top level but for what we paid we got our money's worth.

I do think Jenas had the potential to be a better player than he turned out to be.  I remember him having an absolute stormer vs Juventus in Champions League (I think Davids ended up being subbed?) and thought that would be the making of him.

Without a doubt. I thought the same about Milner tbh and still do to some extent although he's gone on to fulfill a lot of his potential. He's just one of those players who likes to be the support act rather than the main man himself.

With Jenas somewhere along the line he just started being afraid to take risks. Hardly ever passed forward or tried to go past people. It just got ridiculous.

 

I feel like his issues were mostly mental, as though he lacked confidence or self belief. Playing under someone like Keegan would have been the making of him. Whereas playing for someone like Souness was probably the worst thing that could have happened to him.

Jenas was superb between Jan & May '03 like. Even before that. First start for us as an 18-19 year old in an away derby and he was cool as fuck.
