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.

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.

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.

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.............:suicide:

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.

Might have to start with Elliot if Krul gets away

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.

They offered him a new contract, which he rejected.

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.

I 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.

Spot on.

 

Surprised to see people calling Colback "shit". At worst he's average.
