Pardew: Newcastle transfer key to Colback call-up

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Newcastle manager Alan Pardew believes Jack Colback's decision to move to the club from Sunderland played a big part in his England call-up. Colback made the bold switch from Wearside to St James' Park in June in after his Sunderland contract expired, ending a 15-year spell at a club he joined aged 10. The 24-year-old was handed his first international call-up on Thursday and Newcastle boss Pardew is in no doubt that the midfielder may have been overlooked by Roy Hodgson had he not shown the character turn his back on Sunderland to join their arch-rivals. "It's great for north-east football, because he did a lot of this [to earn his] call-up at Sunderland," Pardew said. "I think he's ticked a couple of boxes here, though, that are important for an England manager."
