Shearergol Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I vaguely remember him being a goal threat at Derby and looking at his record I guess I was wrong. I still think it’s a solid signing given out situation and squad depth but I don’t see him ousting either Shelvey or Hayden. He's a mixture of both but better than neither as individuals. Reckon they'll rotate the 3 of them (knowing Bruce he'll play all three and drop Almiron) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no worse than what we have, but not the answer to changing a pretty shitty team. The problem is there's so much to fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no worse than what we have, but not the answer to changing a pretty shitty team. The problem is there's so much to fix. We are always going to have a pretty shitty team with this regime so there's not much to fix really. The aim is to juggle our resources while building a team which will finish mid-table at best and hopefully avoid relegation. Maybe Jeff Hendricks will help us do that and Mike will make a bit of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon they'll rotate the 3 of them (knowing Bruce he'll play all three and drop Almiron) Yeah, could see him slot into midfield with Hayden and Shelvey in more of a 4-3-3 setup. Almiron left, ASM right and goodness knows who at striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sometimes a squad needs a few of this type of player. Dependable if unspectacular. Trouble is, most of our squad is exactly this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Good luck to him, have to be honest and admit it's not a particularly ambitious signing, but said the same for players like Clark and Fernandez. Hope he can do well, gives us an additional option in midfield in any case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It's weird to think I'll never watch him play for us. This isn't a dig but how old are you? Just wondering why now, after the past few years, is this the end for you? 43. I barely watched last year either tbf. Was more interested again under Rafa, and I suppose what I did watch last season was out of curiosity. Haven't been to a home game for nearly 6 years though.

Guest Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Still can’t look past the Jack Colback signing here like. He had an average season in his first year, even popped up with a few goals. See similar here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See similar here. No chance man. Hendrick at the very least has some size and strength and doesn't get pushed around like a small child. Those years we had Colback and Anita as a midfield pair getting dominated and manhandled man. Lord have mercy. Deeply depressing moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback’s level was similar to Hendrick’s upto after his first season, like. He was just an average Premier League plodder. If Colback was Irish or Welsh I reckon he’d have 20 odd caps between say 2012-16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Colback was Irish or Welsh I reckon he’d have 20 odd caps between say 2012-16. I hear what you're saying. There was just something so pathetic about Colback's lack of stature and strength and how he got pushed around and dispossessed of the ball that I don't think will be an issue with Hendrick. It's really what frustrated me most about Colback, rather than his general bog standard midfield play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
