acrossthepond 877 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Incredibly small-time response from the mackems. Just that alone warms me a little to this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2966 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 SAFC club statement: "To our dismay however, we were subsequently never given the chance to negotiate with him to stay." Published 12/09/2013 Di Canio said: "Jack is in negotiations but I hope he is going to sign a new contract because it would be difficult for him to find a better club than Sunderland. "I know Jack wasn't happy in general at the end of last year and I had a chat and told him I don't want unhappy people here, but he has a big chance this year. "In my opinion Jack is one of the best few left-backs in the country. He has all the characteristic qualities - he is aggressive, tough and intelligent and he can push forward. "It depends on him but I'm very satisfied with the way he played in the last few games. He deserves a new contract and he can have a very good future here."

donaldstott 0 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I reckon it's a decent signing. It's an extra body, he's neat and tidy, has a good engine and won't let us down. He's an upgrade on gosling, bigi, Jonas and marveaux in the middle of the park. He doesn't take us forward though as he's very similar (no better) to Anita in my eyes.

Howay 12496 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 What a bunch of gimps . I'd be fucking mortified if the Toon did that about a player. The lad grew up a Newcastle fan, I'm sure he saw this as his best chance to play for us and jumped at the chance. He always worked hard for them and didn't take it easy against the club he supports so I don't know why they're moaning so much. From what the Mackems have been saying he's been on 6k a week or so this whole time as well so I'm sure them keeping him on a low wage for as long as they can has grated on him as well (like us with Guthrie). How fucking embarrassing man, a professional football club putting that up. It even reads like they were crying onto their cheesy chips while typing that. I hope he scores a fucking pelter past them next derby. Tramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2966 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Former Sunderland midfielder ready to live his Geordie dream AFTER posing for the customary new signing photograph in front of the players’ tunnel yesterday, Jack Colback took centre stage in one of the media suite’s interview rooms at St James’ Park. As he dealt with the questions about his controversial switch from Sunderland to Newcastle United, he was relaxed, excited and already at home in his new surroundings. As much as most fans of a Wearside persuasion will not like it, and there will be those on Tyneside reluctant to accept a former Black Cat too, the 24-year-old brought up in a Newcastle supporting family in Killingworth has waited for this day to arrive. When Colback was a young schoolboy, before he was attached to Sunderland’s academy, he had already been in the stands at St James’ to watch Kevin Keegan’s entertainers with his father, John-Paul. “Faustino Asprilla was my favourite player, but he wasn’t really my style! I’m a bit different to that,” said Colback, smiling and extremely satisfied to be Alan Pardew’s second signing of the summer following last week’s arrival of Spaniard Ayoze Perez. “I was born a Newcastle fan really, having been born around here. The majority of my family were Newcastle fans. My parents bought me the shirt. I remember getting the shirts and buzzing over the new one coming out “My earliest memories were the Keegan years and the relative success they had then. I remember the 90s when they beat Man U (in the Premier League 5-1) and Barcelona in the Champions League. Those are the sort of nights I want to be a part of, although I’m not saying I expect us to be in the Champions League soon. “I want to be able to play in front of 52,000 every week, getting to cup finals and stuff like that. I want to be a success here and part of a successful team. Bring successful times back to this club.” Despite being brought up on North Tyneside, he made the decision to join Sunderland’s academy at the age of ten after impressing for the reputable Cramlington Juniors. “My dad was very level headed and he would never shout and bawl on the sidelines when I was eight or nine to tell me to do this or that better,” said Colback. “He has always supported me, even when I signed for Sunderland. He has always supported me rather than the team I played for. It will be good for all of my family to see me walk out in a Newcastle shirt.” When he does that at the start of next season he will hope to repeat the achievements of the last midfielder to leave Sunderland for Newcastle. Paul Bracewell scored on his Magpies debut in a 3-2 win over Southend United on August 15, 1992. “If it happens where I can score on my first appearance then that would be ideal,” said Colback. “A lot will be said about me leaving Sunderland, but for me as a professional I just have to concentrate on my football and let everyone else talk. “I would like to win the Newcastle fans over sooner rather than later, scoring might help! I just want a good start to the season, win games and look more positive.” Colback wanted to get things finalised and confirmed at the earliest opportunity on returning from honeymoon. There had been enough speculation surrounding his future, with speculated interest from other Premier League clubs. The chance to remain in the North-East proved just perfect for the newlywed. “I will get to training 15 minutes earlier every morning as well, I can have an extra 15 in bed,” joked Colback, after signing a long-term deal at Newcastle. “It will be a new environment, a new team. Moving clubs is something that is part and parcel of football. It is something I am excited about and it’s the next chapter in my life, my family’s life. “It’s been quite a hectic summer, getting married was stressful enough. There has been a lot of speculation about what would happen. I made my choice to come here and it’s a huge opportunity to come to a massive team like Newcastle, the team I supported. It was one I could not let go of.” With pre-season training set to start in early July before the tour of New Zealand and Australia, it will not be long before Colback makes his Premier League debut for Newcastle – and a guaranteed hostile reception in the Tyne-Wear derbies will be guaranteed. “I am pretty sure I will not be going down well around Sunderland now if my name gets brought up in conversation with Sunderland fans,” he said. “That’s the decision I have made. I have to live with that. “Newcastle was the best footballing move on the table for me. I have decided to take that. You have thoughts about swapping the two rivals, which is clearly not ideal, but it was a decision I felt I had to make. “There will even be a minority of Newcastle fans I will have to win over and they might not take to me because I have those Sunderland connections. All I can do is play football and do what I do – and hopefully be a success here at St James’ Park.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland would have been better off saying nothing or at least claiming that he was off for more money. But they've basically just confirmed that he's told them to go fuck themselves.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I don't know where Pardew sees him playing for us but he was never happy playing left back for the tramps. Jinger Jack signed a contract and saw the contract through ,left to go to a bigger club ,with a bigger history,bigger ground with bigger crowds and he is the bad guy.So what do they think of Dave Watson,the ex-makem centre half, who said he would rather pack in football than play for those clowns again.Then you have the England flop called ratboy who didn't give a toss during his last two sesons at the sos then jumped ship days after they were relegated.I cannot get my head around them at times.They decided a few years ago to put up a statue to the geordie ex-mag, who took them into the 3rd division.Baffling.
