Bimpy474 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-2-0-hellas-verona-13439740 Is this the beginning of the end for Jack Colback? The midfielder has been at United for three years since his controversial switch from Wearside to Tyneside, having represented his boyhood club in both the Premier League and the Championship during that time. Despite being a regular in the side last season in defensive-midfield, seemingly the 27-year-old faces an uncertain United future. The arrival of Mikel Merino, as well as Mo Diame regularly being deployed in a holding role in pre-season rather than at No 10 where he featured for most of last season, appears to have pushed Colback far down the pecking order. Jonjo Shelvey - who was named as captain once again against Verona - appears a cert to start in one of the two midfield positions in Benitez’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, while it seems likely that Merino, Hayden and Diame will be the preferred options alongside him given that all three featured in this match. With that in mind, and given that at least three Championship clubs - including Aston Villa - have enquired about Colback’s potential availability so far this summer, the Geordie midfielder is potentially edging towards the St James’ Park exit door. With that in mind, will we see Colback step out on the St James’ turf as a Magpies player again? Or does this spell the beginning of the end for his United career? I currently listening to a song that matches the speed of that gif perfectly Which is ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Probably the biggest positive of the pre-season so far. Now just Dummett and possibly the GKs and we'll genuinely be beyond the era of players that are clearly too shit to play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I honestly thought he was going to start. Imagine a season with him not in the squad man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 One can dream. Have a horrible feeling he'll still be a mainstay of the squad though, even if he doesn't start much. He'll just come on after 78 mins and give away a free kick within 20 seconds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 He's basically finished here I reckon, just hanging around picking his wages up like the others who know this is as close to the gravy train they'll ever get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Diame being used as a central midfielder the last few games says a lot to me. He's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Only game we lost in pre-season was with him starting at CM (with Diame ). Only time we didn't look the better team aswell. Needs shipping out ASAP to stop Rafa even considering him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs shipping out ASAP to stop Rafa even considering him. I said even when Rafa first came in that Rafa would never keep him if we stayed up. As it turned out he was pretty rubbish in the championship as well. He's a defensive midfielder who can't tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
