Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

To think we pretty much stumbled upon him when we were scouting Prutton for ages. He must be bitter as fuck. :lol:

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

 

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.

 

In his first full season he was 19 and played 30+ games and scored 6 goals. That's pretty impressive. In Gerard's first full season at the same age he got 1 goal in 29 apps, then 7 the season after. Jenas could have been a top class England CM, but for whatever reason it didn't work out

 

As I said, he never demonstrated the aptitude to control games like Gerrard did.

His own ego, outside expectations and our continued inability to develop talent? I think Jenas main problem was also himself...

 

People talk about that derby match being his first start, he looked fantastic that day.

At least he can motivate himself for derbies, which is more than 90% of our squad can muster.

 

yes, if newcastle batters That scum i am sure he'll make the same sign for us. I am so proud of this shitty signing...

A free transfer is a good deal. I think people are being a little harsh on him (it's easy to hate the Sunderland thing), we desparetly need bodies and Colback is better than Gosling, so I'm happy with this for now.

This is really starting to wind me up. Gosling turned out to be shit so we are accepting players who just are just better than shit now? Should we sign Emile Heskey because he is better than Shola?

:thup:

 

Gosling never needed replacing.

Colback as a football player is a fine squad addition for a skint and cheap ownership group we have. He never needs starting over Anita or Tiote or Sissoko IMO unless injury etc.

 

However his stupid celebrations and pictures as a supposed Newcastle supporter is a bunch of bull shit. Same goes for Danny "could never play for Sunderland" Graham who was jumping about with Colback and Johnson when Di Canio's side bummed us.

 

Colback better turn into an England regular or score goals versus Sunderland or he's got a ton to come around from.

He did need replacing, he wasn't good enough to be in our starting line-up at all. Colback is better, but shouldn't be ahead of what we have, just squad cover.

Missing the point completely.
