Colback or Henderson

If you are referring to posting members' own pictures then there's a handy how-to guide stickied at the top of the help desk forum.

However, if you are referring to posting links to third party images or social media articles then, depending upon the source, it is often a simple copy-url-and-paste job.

In the latter case, tracking codes embedded in the image url are the main stumbling block as such images will not work with the forum's software.

Thanks for the response, pity about the forums software

See no need for the tin hat. Colback carries on the way he is, he'll be a top quality player. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets a chance at International level in the next couple of years. In fact, I'd be dissapointed if he didn't. I may need to lend your tin hat after that last sentence actually.

Well he did get a call up so you might be able to say that was a chance!

Already is by far a better footballer and getting better, Henderson is the most overrated player ever to come through the ranks at SAFC in my lifetime

😂 fuck me

We get a champions league winning England captain from Sunderland and we run him out of town with pitchforks 😂

This aged well :lol: At the time I was watching a lot of these two and found Jack to have the edge with being consistent in his performances. Even when Jordan went to Liverpool I thought at the time we've done very well with the money we got.....is he really worth that much?

Turns out oh yes, he's matured into a excellent footballer and has given Liverpool superb value for money.
Jack still playing at NF by all accounts good luck to him.

That's exactly the truth.

Tin hat on here but I reckon Colback will be a better player than Henderson. He offers so much more to the team than Henderson did.

His versatility is very useful as well, I thought he was shaky at wing back in the home tie against City but he was immense today.

Henderson always had the potential to give us something different going forward but his work rate and defending were embarrassing at times.

Wish could go back to when this shit post was made

Well aye, of course they do if we apply a total masterclass in hindsight. One is captaining one of the best sides in Europe whilst the other is in the championship.

But some of the comments relate to not being that concerned about Henderson leaving and having Colback in the side. At the time, Colback was doing quite a good job for us in the top flight. He was quite a mature player for his age, was tenacious and competent with the ball at his feet. Henderson was a decent player for us but was all about potential. Had he stayed, he undoubtedly wouldn’t have been the player he is now and may have even gone to shite. We simply don’t know.

So on that front, based on their careers at that point and their contributions for SAFC, the comments weren’t that daft (with some, as ever, going overboard about Colback’s qualities - that still happens now).

There's also the fact that Liverpool fans thought he was shite for a couple of years...

So is that an apology or are you being a dick?

Sorry mate if I was rude and you were being sincere. But you known how it is on here. We are always on the defence first. Even though I know you are a good poster, the defence mechanism kicks in quickly.

There was times at the start where he looked better than Henderson initially did. I guess that’s where correct career choices come in. Before you all go “but Henderson had no choice. He was sold for a bucket load of cash!”. That’s what I mean. He was happy here until we sold him to a top club who could further his career. Colback did a job on us to wangle his way to a shit club who’d won nowt.
 
In defence of the first posters I still don't think it's too controversial to suggest that Colback was better based purely on their time at Sunderland. But hey, hindsight is fun.
