Here is something referring to the rumour amongst West Ham fans:

A West Ham ‘insider’ told a Hammers fan site that the Irons had tried to find a way around the problem of Colback “already signing for Newcastle”. He said:

“We did our best but sadly there’s no way out of the contract he signed. He was keen to join West Ham.”

Interesting Colback story in Mirror. Heard something similar about West Ham/Newcastle wrangle. He certainly went back & forth before signing

@elmarcosmasonos Journalist who wrote it has v.good contacts at West Ham...
 
I grant it's the type of thing Ashley would do.... But I equally distrust that pair of porn peddlars at West Ham.
Prob just sour grapes.
 
I am a little concerned that because of all of the publicity there are unfair expectations of Colback, please remember he is a free transfer and should be judged accordingly, compare his efforts with those of Ben Arfa
 
I'll give the lad a chance.
Players like Perch and Jose won me over after I had initial reservations.
Onwards and upwards...
 
Loving all the bitter lemon action. You'd think we'd signed Ronaldo, not some half decent ginger squad player.
 
I really don't know what all the fuss is about.

True Geordie Lad, Jack Colback is simply coming home after plundering the Mackem facilities & coaches.

He's a good Premier League player who has signed on a free transfer, meaning Sunderland get no money at all. Shame.

A big, fat six-year deal has been negotiated to ensure we get an excellent price for him when Celtic come calling.

Dry your eyes mate.
