He would have had my best wishes if he had gone anywhere else, but I truly hope it goes tits up for both him and the Skunks now..

Absolutely priceless by the club there, putting the image of him shushing the Gallowgate, and simply stating his shocking goalscoring record. I doff my hat to whoever came up with that![]()

Club comment on Colback departure.
After the announcement that Jack Colback has signed for Newcastle United, SAFC has issued the following statement:
“Jack is a player we have nurtured and developed through our academy system since he was eight years old. We gave him the opportunity to become a professional footballer and are therefore extremely disappointed in the events that have led to his departure from the club.
“This wasn’t about money - the club agreed to all of the terms demanded of us during discussions and we were always led to believe that Jack wanted to stay with us. At his and his representatives’ request, final talks were put on hold until the club secured its top flight status. To our dismay however, we were subsequently never given the chance to negotiate with him to stay.
“For him to then leave the club that has supported him throughout his formative years in such a manner, with no chance for Sunderland to recover any of the significant investment that it has made in him as a player, has left a bitter taste."
I said a few days ago, I can never have an issue with a player going to his boyhood club.
6 year deal, probs a nice wee pay rise, can we really blame him?
Simple terms, and as you all know this has been my stance throughout, I just can't care. I'd have liked the £4-6million he's worth in todays ridiculous market, but I want players in our midfield who can change games and score goals.
Simple.

Jonjo Shelvey was £5 million, changes games and scores goals.
Plus he doesn't have a ginger hair on his head ........ I heard he uses a hair treatment called Alopecia, because he's worth it![]()
