I’d like him but would much prefer adding a big unit to the middle of the park to boss it

A season long loan for Colback would make perfect sense. Only pay a proportion of his huge wages, & if .. a big if we can get promoted, we part ways in the summer and move on to better players for the Premier League. #NFFC

Disagree with you on all that.

JC is a cut above on a few cuts above all the players you have mentioned

Top player at this level

A lot of what he does goes unnoticed, just filling in space ect, part and parcel of that position but he is very good at it at this level. Will give freedom for our more attacking players to go forward.

He’s a great player without a doubt. My only concern is, how much does he really want to come? He seems to be holding out for a better offer. If he wanted to come he would have already.

Colback would be a great signing.
He and Watson keeping things organised, whilst the attacking players create havoc.
Would love to see AK get this over the line #nffc

Anyone complaining about Colback signing doesn’t know football, I understand with the wages but you can’t say he hasn’t got the ability, quality footballer #nffc

Loan move would be ideal, keep his wages within the wage structure at the club. Not going to get a more solid defensive spine in the Championship than Colback, Watson, Dawson and Pants #NFFC https://t.co/q25znzhmCM

Why are people turning their noses up at Colback? Quality at this level, would be a very good piece of business and would add a much need piece to the jigsaw. #NFFC

Love the Jack Colback debate on here. Very divisive. There’s already a few dm at #nffc but I think he’s better than most of them. So for me, it’s a yes, he makes us better.
