WEST Ham have dramatically upped the ante in the race for Jack Colback’s signature – with a ‘treble your money’ offer to the out-of-contract midfielder.
And that mega deal is all but certain to scupper both Sunderland and Newcastle United’s hopes of keeping the player in the North East.

I work with a lad who's Niece is Colbacks girlfriend. What he told me was that Colback was willing to move away for a lot more money. Then his family have advised him that he doesn't have to move out of the area to be a wealthy man. They told him that the wages that he can make up here will be enough for him to have a very good lifestyle and being able to stay with his family in the North East is a big plus.
Let's see whether he listens to them or just goes for the money.

I'm happy for us to miss out on Colback rather than pay him £50k a week. A ridiculous figure that. #nufc
