Hopefully he will be pushing hard for Anita's place and both will improve. Great age those two. If we can replace Cabaye, get a another striker or two and a new wide man, we may start to look a bit tasty. Reality that's probably job done though.

I wasn't too fussed but thought he was a good signing, but hearing the bitterness from the mackems and their club make this a worthwhile signing.
I've been quite suprised at the hostility and venom directed at him from some of the Twitter Mackems... If roles were reversed (as with Clarky) I'd be a bit dissapointed but would look at what he did for my club and chew on that a bit.
Aye but they are among the most bitter fans in the land. They haven't seen much sunlight in the shadows..................bad for the soul
This is evidence that Pardew has got what he's been after. The tosser has been deliberately playing Carr signings out of position and making them scapegoats so he could get control over signings. He's a Twat always has been a horrible man with foul selfish nature
Excellent news, means we can be the first team in history to field 4 left backs at the same time.
Really? Twitter is full of arseholes, you should know hailing from troll central, and they say it takes one to know one Albert.
Seriously Albert (cause you're not an arsehole
) You can't be surprised. People get **** on fund raising pages. It's the sad state of society. Bunch of losers but it's no reflection on Sunderland just the general mentality of the masses.
That's my boy Pardew lashing money out on reserves, I only wish Short would throw his money around like uncle Mike
ACCS - this situation is nothing like Lee Clark. Clarky was a Newcastle supporter who left Newcastle to play for Sunderland not a Sunderland supporter who left to join Sunderland after 16 years through the academy. Clark was a consumate professional for us except for one moment of idiocy.
Colback is a Black & White who our club have nurtured - SAFC offered him what he and his representatives wanted and they asked us to put the talks on hold until premier league survival was assured, then basically said "**** off" to a club that brought him up as a footballer.

Jack sees us as the next level
You can't blame the lad though, he is a Newcastle supporter and wants to move up a level. With all due respect to Sunderland, history is not kind in terms of breaking into the top 10 of the PL. We have a long history of getting there since the money league started in 1992. He's probably got international ambitions (which I'd be surprised to see realised) and a move to the premier NE club will help that a little. He'd have been better off going to West Ham mind.
They offered the lad a crap contract extension in the first place, not in keeping with what other players were on.
Apparently on £5-6k a week, and not much more offered?
Took advantage of him coming through the Academy and only took him seriously when he told them he was off, and suddenly they wanted to know.
SAFC should ask themselves why they didn't offer him what he was worth instead of p****** the lad off. Nothing like being wanted. and not taken for granted.
The statement stinks of we know we f***** up, but, lets release an embarrassing statement putting the blame on Colback and cover our a*****.
If he'd gone elsewhere would there have been a statement - No Chance.

He can captain us through two more derby debacles next year. I simply cannot wait for this clogger to set the league alight next year.
That's complete crap fella, do you really believe what you're saying? 5k was his wage when he signed his first pro contract(the one that just expired) Appearances invoked a standard clause which brought his wage up to £16,500 pw. This is where he pulled the ****s trick, Sunderland met his contract demands in January which he was happy with, however Jack stated that he wouldn't sign until safety was achieved. Then he refused to walk back to the table once safety was confirmed. It's that simple, not difficult to grasp and irrelevant to the club he's joined(that's definitely a supporters issue)
That's what happened. Our fault ultimately in the way we handled his contract a year ago, but that doesn't detract from the ungentlemanly behaviour of Jack, for a club that made him what he is. All that's changed is the reception he'll receive against us, but that's his own doing, he knows this, and he'll except everything he gets which is fair play.
I heard quite the opposite. That he's been offered very good deals at sunderland and west ham and taken less (though slightly) to play for us. I'd imagine hes on 35-40k per week here being a free and all. I hope this kid lights it up next year.
Christ I wouldn't be. I think most rational sunderland fans don't give a flying ****. Just gives them a chance to rub it in even more when we lose twice to them next season.
