Astroblack Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He's upgrade on our CM options, but he won't displace Colback as McClaren doesn't have the bottle to drop him despite him being complete and utter dogshit. I reckon we'll wind up going back to the 4-2-3-1 Pardew-esque bullshit which will completely limit Shelvey and continue to starve Mitro of service . Colback Shelvey Sissoko Ayoze Wij Mitro I think Saivet, Colback and Shelvey will be in the middle with Wijnaldum and Sissoko on the wings. Perez up front with Mitro on the bench. It doesn't sound half bad tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not sure we'll suddenly switch to a 3 in midfield. Worst case I can see is Colback still starts every game and Saivet gets shunted out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 From a Swansea perspective this move is weird as fuck like given both our positions. I know they've fallen out but they must know what he's capable of and how much he'll likely improve us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Glad we've signed someone capable of passing the ball. Apart from that, not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hope someone asks him to stop doing that fucking goggles celebration. It would be nice to see any sort of goal celebration from a NUFC player. It's been a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Swansea fans seem bitter as fuck. They really don't like. Classic case of "so you think you're too good for us do you? Well fuck off to Newcastle you're shit anyway" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm actually pretty sure McLaren is going to drop Colback. Blind optimism I guess. Saivet Shelvey Sissoko Wijnaldum Ayoze Mitrovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well fuck off to Newcastle you're shit anyway" I really don't think it's that at all. He's been playing badly, hasn't been putting the effort in and has been dropped. If he'd done that here we'd be glad to see the back of him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saivet Shelvey Sissoko Wijnaldum Ayoze Mitrovic Yeah same here. Fucking hope so. Though if Colback doesn't get a booking today, I think he'll play on Saturday as McClaren won't want to start both new signings straight away. Probably go for Shelvey/Colback until the latter picks up his suspension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I honestly cannot stress enough how retarded McClaren and our transfer team must be if they'd sign a couple of central midfielders who aren't good enough to play in a midfield 2. I wouldn't be in any way surprised like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd done that here we'd be glad to see the back of him too. Yeah he seems like he can be a stroppy cunt but hopefully that was just something that developed at Swansea and he'll make a fresh start here. If he shows that side of his character again his career will dive. I don't think anyone will touch him if it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My main worry with him are the comments he's a MOTD player as we've had enough of those, then again I've watched full games he's played and have been impressed. We'll know by the time we get relegated I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Despite the signings I'll be surprised if he doesn't find a way to fit Jack Colback into the side, he seems to love him, must be part of some Ginger code to help one another out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
