Newcastle United sent transfer message - and Nottingham Forest fans will love it

Newcastle United fans want their side to let Jack Colback go - a verdict Nottingham Forest and their fans will be interested in.

Colback is back with the Magpies after a season-and-a-half on loan at the City Ground.

The former Sunderland man didn't make a permanent move to Forest after his last loan stint expired last summer and he has been training with Newcastle but hasn't played a minute of 2019-20.

Colback, it was revealed, moved his family to Nottingham after joining Forest but commutes daily to Newcastle despite being nowhere near the first-team picture.

A popular figure among Forest fans, they would like to see him back at the club after an impressive 55-match spell with the club under Aitor Karanka and Martin O'Neill.

Newcastle supporters, meanwhile, want rid and with the player out of contract in the summer that could offer Forest a way in to sign the 30-year-old up.

"Best trainer and good performer are very different things," one said.

Colback's contract should have been terminated long ago," added another.

"Fair play to him sad that things didn't work out for him hope he can get sorted soon," said a third.

Added another: "That’s fair enough, but it doesn’t change the fact he simply isn’t good enough. Hope he finds a club in the Championship, but his place isn’t with us.

"Simply not good enough," a fourth said.

"Not good enough for the Premier League," said another.

"Colback would be a good squad player but never a regular," another Newcastle fan said.
