Jack Colback (now a free agent)


Recommended Posts

"Our team, Team X, have for too long relied on high balls into the box and set pieces, with very little pace and movement up front and we need to change. It is for this reason that I would sign Andy Carroll."

:lol: Just read all this. Stifler is a f***ing flute.

 

He's cack. He's ginger and he acted like a c*** taking the p*ss. He's burned his bridges on both sides as far as I'm concerned. Add to that he's clearly going to be a starter in Pardew's XI at every opportunity makes it even worse. He's an unambitious signing representative of this regime. He's a James Perch without any of the innocent charm.

 

Hope the c*** gets a double fracture to the fibia and does his ACL in the process. Nee time for him whatsoever.

 

The whole 'he only played for sunderland' argument can get to f*** anarl.

It won't happen but it'd be funny as owt against City...

 

Welcome Number 10 Siem de Jong: Wheeeeeeey!

Welcome Number 14 Jack Colback: *one bloke coughs in to a microphone*

 

TBF to him it's a good job we don't have white kits otherwise you wouldn't be able to see him.

Nar, man. It'd be mint if Rob the DJ adds lines like 'and club captain' or 'one and only' like he did for Shearer with 'number 14... he was proper canny at school... Jack Colback!'

Thing is, he's not getting abuse because he's signed for us from Sunderland. If we had a player join us on a free from them, after turning down a few contract offers, who genuinely looked a decent player we'd all be pissing ourselves. The problem is he seems distinctly average, at best, acted a right cunt in multiple derbies and will no doubt be one of Pardew's 'lads'; starting week-in-week out at the expense of better players and as a replacement for a player who offered infinitely more than he ever will. Incredibly simplistic to say he gets stick just because he played for them.

 

Except that fact does fuel a lot of the invective.

 

Aye, Shay Given, Paul Bracewell and Barry Venison all used to get the same. Don't talk bollocks.

 

:rolleyes:

 

Thanks for your valuable insight into our local rivalry.

 

Opposition to him, from page 1 in this thread, has routinely been about him being a Mackem and his antics after scoring against us, as if what he did was some crime against humanity. You yourself have called him a "Geordie traitor" or something to that effect at least a couple times in this thread. It's small-time and petty. There wouldn't be nearly as much opposition to him as a Newcastle player had he not played for Sunderland. He'd just be a totally inoffensive, boring player we signed on a free.

 

Eh? Of course the opposition is about what he did after scoring, and generally being a complete cunt to our supporters every time his new manager has let them walk all over us. That's very different to just playing for them.

 

If you say so. I'm not at all convinced. And even if that is the case, it's still petty.

 

Being petty over these rivalries is what being a football fan is all about, no matter who you support. Arsenal fans wouldn't dream of putting up with an Arsenal fan who had previously mocked them wearing a Spurs shirt. Bayern Munich fans campaigned fervently against Manuel Neuer's purchase because he had played for Schalke and mocked Oliver Kahn, and some still maintain that he is not allowed to approach a certain area of the ground as part of their demands for putting up with him.

 

This is football in Europe and it's not changing any time soon.

 

:thup:

 

And football is much the better for it.

 

A time when football isn't a little bit irrational, full of arguments and passion, is the day I couldn't give a fuck about it.

That's me skint for the rest of my life, short of money at the end of the month as it is without half me money getting taken off me every month. :(

 

Keep your head up man.  If you work really hard, in 25 years time you might make it all the way to the top and get that coveted deputy shift supervisors position then you'll be able to move out of the drain and have proper cardboard for dinner.

So we had that problem with Cabaye but we are not with Colback? Give me a break. :lol:

 

Those problems exist because of Pardew, no amount of new players will change it.

 

Even with Cabaye in the team, we still weren't particularly fluent in midfield. Cabaye could produce brilliant passes to the strikers, and was good at set pieces and long range shooting. But the midfield still didn't combine well.

 

Obviously Colback won't solve that problem on his own, but it would help if we had another midfield player in there who's more comfortable and secure in possession than Tiote, Anita or Sissoko.

 

There seems to be a bit of a love-fest on Anita at the moment, but he still doesn't convince me.
