Guest firetotheworks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 With Jack in the side anything can happen? Somewhere on another planet, where gravity makes things fall up, time moves backwards, cats are better than dogs and that quote is about Ben Arfa with Colback training in the reserves, someone is saying "him hate I.planet another on he's, cunt mad That" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I find Anita to be overrated on this site. Good player but there isn't that chasm in quality between him and Colback that people think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better than Colback, but isn't effective and has been a passenger since he came here. Maybe with Cabaye gone and a few options around him well see him come to life. I'm hoping de Jong sparks him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 You guys don't know shit. Colback was a canny lad in primary school and that's all we need to know. Ajax academy ffs, can't compare to south heaton comp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Anita is a player that recycles things, knows his pass before he receives it and has a good footballing brain. He's a small but important part in a good midfield. Without other roles being filled it doesn't work. We could have had Sissoko, Cabaye, Anita for ages but never did. I don't rate Colback at all and certainly wouldn't have him ahead of Anita. The fact he's a Cabaye replacement is nothing short of embarrassing and laughable.

Dinho lad Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-vs-man-city-pardew-4063311 Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is so desperate to beat his Manchester City jinx that he’s looking to a Sunderland old boy to act as a lucky charm. Jack Colback made a controversial move to St James’ this summer when he quit the Black Cats as a free agent. The Toon-supporting midfielder figured in three of Sunderland’s four successive 1-0 home wins against City. And Pardew is hoping the 24-year-old Colback can work some magic for the Magpies against the champions tomorrow. City are Newcastle’s first-day opponents for the second season running – 12 months ago, Manuel Pellegrini’s men won 4-0 at the Etihad. Pardew has also lost all eight games against City, who have won their last 10 against Toon in all competitions. But Pardew, reminded of Colback’s winning run with Sunderland over City, quipped: “Thank god for that – it’s why I signed him! “One of our best displays last season was against City, and we were beaten. They’re the type of team who, even if you’re at your very best against them, will still beat you. “But I do think we’re really well set for this game. Hopefully we can get some kind of result against them because our record isn’t great. With Jack in the side, obviously anything can happen!” http://i.imgur.com/lol8Kdh.gif?1 http://i.minus.com/irR2qtMNJ5Xw3.gif http://i.imgur.com/0wivOMd.gif britney's neck is huge.

The fact he's a Cabaye replacement is nothing short of embarrassing and laughable. erm, what? who said colback is cabayes replacement? Given Cabaye started in central midfield more often than not and Colback will also start in central midfield it's not a stretch to say he's the Cabaye replacement.

Different sort of player sure but replacement all the same. I think it's quite the stretch to say that, so I disagree. De Jong is the closest we'll get to yohans replacement. He's captain material, he's smart and he scores goals. Colback is a decent squad player, who isn't known for creating chances and will basically just be used as a tidy central midfielder to keep things ticking over. I thought colback did fine in the pre-season games I watched and will be a good backup player this season. I agree with most that anita should always start ahead of him but like any player, he should be played on merit and not just because he's a local lad, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where this stretch is to be honest. The stretch I mentioned was that you think colback is cabaye's replacement. We all know what colback's position is, central midfield, that's obvious, but I reckon he won't be a starter for us. As I said earlier, if he does the business for us, then of course he should start but if he starts against man city, it's only due to tiote/de jong being unavailable.

Anyhoo Anita will be dropped Pardew has never fancied him but has played him due to lack of alternatives. Colback is such a Pardew player man.
