This has come as a great surprise to me.I think you're wrong. The things you mention are like a few others, additions to the basic skills. They're highly desirable but if you can't do the basics first you would never ever get a chance to do the "extras".
It's your mastery of the basics that largely defines how high up the tree you climb.
Your reasoning is slightly flawed as there's more than just attackers on the pitch but that's a separate issue.
Jack is a decent player when he wants to be and can attack. More often than not he is barely noticeable.Seems a pretty shitty and limited way to rate a midfield footballer. I think passing forwards and trying to crate stuff should be thrown into the equation n'arl mesel like.
Has this been confirmed?colback had a great game yesterday, but sadly he is 100% going to the mags
which IMO is a bad move for himcolback had a great game yesterday, but sadly he is 100% going to the mags

Do you know the lad personally?
Surely the Mags would be guilty of an illegal approach ?
I like the lad but he should be looking to break from deep alot more and take more responsibility in games. He certainly has it in him but he often leaves it to others. Cattermole has made some shockin mistakes at times (unfortunately they normal cost us) but he is much more pro-active/looking to get things going which tends to put him in difficult spots Jack doesn't risk putting himself in.Jack is a decent player when he wants to be and can attack.

Thanks for clearing that up.1 - not officially
2 - not personally, but know someone involved in the contract talks
3 - he is out of contract in less than a few months so can speak to any club
agree
He seems to lack confidence, which is a shame as he would have progressed far more than he has if he had confidence in his own ability.I like the lad but he should be looking to break from deep alot more and take more responsibility in games.

Jack isn't the young lad coming through anymore and he should be taking games by the scruff of the neck which he often doesn't attempt to do.
They do, hopefully same against against Man Utd.Both of them complimented each other IMO. Both never gave the opposition a second worth of breathing space, both used the ball very well too. Colback resisted the urge to smash Mutch in the pyatt.
yep, hope im wrong mate and hope he changes his mindThanks for clearing that up.
I was under the impression he could only be approached by an overseas side before July.
Perhaps he will be convinced by Poyet to stay if we stay up.
Hate to lose him on a free.
His balls nearly dropped when he had to do anything productive with the ball
Proper sideways merchant and can fuck off for all i care
I bet Jack can't wait until he's bald.There was a group of older blokes on the metro home last night from Sunderland, one of which claimed to be Colback's dad. His mates backed him up on it; and we believed him because (i) he was the spitting dabs of Colback (albeit a lot balder), and (ii) "our Jack" is all he wanted to talk about. His patter was that the club never offer Academy players decent money, Colback is currently on - and was offered - "washers" to stay at the club and that he probably won't be going to Newcastle (we obviously pressed him on this point) as they have offered "even less". He said there was still every chance that he would stay at SAFC, particularly if we stay up; although he was unimpressed by my opinion that Lee Cattermole was the best player on the pitch yesterday.
I have no way of validating that the bloke was in fact Colback snr other than to say to those who were there; he was very convincing. He was not pissed and did not appear delusional. Make of this what you will.
"Well done ginger balls"Wonder what Poyet said to him when he came off, whispered in his shell like before he sat down.
