Kitman 2207 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Surely his biggest problem is he's hardly played and when he has it's been totally out of position. A classic Pardewing in other words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Personally I think the best our defence looked last season was with Mbiwa and Williamson together. He's clearly not a fullback and doesn't look good paired with Colo but playing in his right position paired with another defender who's going to do more of the physical stuff he looks like he's got quality. Colo is potenitally on the slide and while he could potentially be top notch. I doubt that would ever happen under the clown who's managing the team though so we might as well cut our losses and rely on Streete or Good coming through and not being injured.

The Fish 10972 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So can we all agree he has been shit for those 18 months whether at fulback of central defence,give or take a few minutes here and there.What? No, no we can't. Stick to your Mackem thread mate, you really show yourself up when you venture far from your chosen specialist subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Think the Colback signing, if it does come off, will be a pretty good one. I've always thought he looked a good player, and very versatile. As an aside, I am bored to tears of the overdramatic responses, by our fans on social media, to any snippet of transfer gossip. We're beginning to sound very much like a bunch of spoilt children.

aimaad22 4222 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Depends on what Colback is being brought in as. If as Gosling's replacement i.e. as a squad player then great. If as a starter or in lieu of Grenier/Cabella etc then............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 If you look at our likely first team with what we currently have less the players who are almost certain to go (Ben Arfa, Debuchy, Mbiwa, Squidward, Marveaux, Tavernier, Vukic) then we are in very deep shit and it's understandable that people are getting increasingly dramatic. By my reckoning that would leave us with a team for the start of the season of; Krul Santon Colo Williamson Haidara Sissoko Anita Tiote Sameobi Gouffran Armstrong Subs Elliot Saylor Raylor (assuming he's fit by then) Dummett Abeid Campbell Cisse (from what I can gather he's likely miss at least the first couple of months) Clearly that team would get relegated. Of course I'm not suggesting that is the team we will actually go into the season with but looking at that it's no wonder there's a lot of concern.

TheGoslingBeast 0 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Colback is shit. Sums up perfectly how far we have sunk when we're looking at the likes of him, fuck sake. Yeah, if there was a reason the scum didn't want him, why would Newcastle even consider looking at him...unfuckinbelievable. Ashley signs him to piss us off I guess.

Howay 12496 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Aye the mackems wanted to keep Colback. He's a decent player, big upgrade on Gosling. If he's brought in as a Cabaye replacement then it's a problem but as a replacement for Gosling it's a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Might have to start with Elliot if Krul gets awayI think it's a dead cert that the players I mentioned will leave (assuming we can find someone to match their wages and someone who's stupid enough to take Obertan off our hands) but I do actually think there is a reasonable chance of Krul staying. It's certainly not impossible that Krul will want to be away too mind and if a good offer does come in I've no doubt we would accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Or downgrade on Cabaye, however you want to look at it. Not much point in concentrating on the underbelly of the squad if you haven't got a strong first 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
