Tiresias Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I think it's a good litmus test for any total football charlatan if they 'rate' or are 'impressed by' Colback since he offers absolutely no redeeming features as a player, there is no redeeming quality at all. I can understand a soft spot for a perhaps ineffectual player who occasionally leathers one in or does the odd great pass (looking at you Shelvey) but Colback has nothing. If someone likes him I have to presume a) they don't actually watch football much and get all their opinions from terrible pundits like Keys etc b) are so out of it that the only player they recognise on the pitch is Colback cos of his hair and therefore assume he is having a good game c) haven't paid attention to football for the past 20 years and still think a good midfielder runs around in circles aimlessly while the ball sails over their heads. I suspect Colback flatters to deceive in Brucie's training as without any intensity his passes may connect and he may get to a player in time to tackle. Unfortuately that is Colback operating at 100% and as soon in a proper premier league game he is absolutely nowhere near the level required. All he does is take the ball, panic, look around then pass the ball 4 feet backwards. And give away dangerous free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got so sick of seeing us in possession and, rather than make space for a pass, he'd run to the nearest opposition player effectively marking himself out of the game.

There are only two plausible reasons why a manager would want him in midfield: 1) He's British 2) The manager is simply clueless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on huge wages (relative to this club) as he signed on as a free agent. Not sure who the highest earner was but he was up there with them.

Guest chopey Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 How come £50k a week seems to be the new top wage? I've said it before we pay nowhere near £94 million a year wages like it says in the accounts Ashley is taking money out of those figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Depressingly, Shearer was on 40k and that was 23 years ago. How on Earth is 50k an acceptable top bracket, even as an average wage across the squad it is mediocre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Didn’t they pay an extra £500k per position over 18th the season before last? There’s £4m. There’ll no double be clean sheet bonuses, win bonuses, goal/assist bonuses thrown in too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
