I feel very bitter,angry and sad tonight as I feel that our great club has been "shafted" by a combination of Colback and his agent!!Did they intend this outcome from twelve months ago...sit it out and sign for the mags,get a few quid as a signing-fee and f**k the club that has nurtured him??I was one of his fans on this forum,and stuck-up for him!Not any more.....the ginger-haired bar-steward!!!
 
Sorry actually meant to say in first post he isn't good enough for either team so don't know why Sunderland are making a big deal of it. They have no right whatsoever to be annoyed, premier league player in "leaving at end of contract" shocker. If the club really valued him they should have renewed long ago. The point I'm trying to make is that no one actually cares as he is a nothing footballer, so the classless and bitter way SAFC has approached it is embarrassing for them.


WTF <laugh>

Disagree mate if the club respected him and thought he was so good, why let his contract run down so much?


He'll get it at SJP every week, never mind the derby. From me anyway. Once a mackem always a mackem.

We signed him from Coventry a couple of years back.

You can say all that in one post you know <doh>

Facts are the club invested a lot of money in the lad, and he indicated he would sign, they offered what he wanted and he walked for supposedly an extra 5k a week.

He's gone now anyway, he can be average for you ****ers ;)

Clubs invest a lot of money in every single player, if you let someone's contract run down to the final 6-12 months without making them an offer, then can't match the wages offered by someone else, the company only have themselves to blame. Anyway I have nothing more to say on Colback, he will be gone soon enough without a meaningful impact in any game I should imagine. This will all be forgotten just as quickly as it happened.

We offered him a contract, but if it's true that you are paying him 40k a week, then I'm ****ing delighted we didn't match it.

40k a week for 6 ****ing years? Somebody didn't learn from Pardew's 8 year affair.

He's started getting contract offers when MoN was in charge.
 
Why the hell did he not go to WHU ?, more money and a London club. He did a good job, but not attack minded enough for me, Gomez is an excellent replacement. He will get a warm reception coming here next season !

Exactly this.
 
My take on this sad situation is that all involved, player, agent, new club, have waited until he turned 24 thereby avoiding a transfer fee which now goes to the player spread over a 5 year contract.

All teams need a player of Colback's versatility but the hardes part to take for me is the backhanded way everything has been done.

Bang ****ing average at best.

Seems like neither he nor newcastle have any ambition, he will not improve them at all, let him take the money and rot.

Oh and '**** the mags'.
 
I've never really understood what "beeling" is, but I think it is written all over that statement from your club. The worst part is, he is good enough for neither of our teams in reality, we only bought him to save on a transfer fee we would have spent on a Ligue 2 midfielder a la Amalfitano to play back up. Truly embarrassing stuff from SAFC. I for one however will not be supporting COlback when he pulls on our kit, and will boo his name before every match. Once you go mackem, you never go back em (or something along those lines). And vice versa, it just never works. Sunderland have reall made fools of themselves by making such a big deal over a 4/10 player, we've clearly got under your skin.

You just want to believe that .......... in reality the buying club isn't the issue in that statement, something you ignore to build your argument.

BTW, stop pretending you'll be booing Colback before every match, you know it won't happen, you're just puffing yourself up.
