One goal in 4 months: £1.7m former Rangers man is now really struggling after Ibrox exit
One goal in 4 months: £1.7m former Rangers man is now really struggling after Ibrox exit
behind and hopping into airplane seats.
While playing for Kaiserslautern and Nurnberg in Germany, he had trouble scoring goals, but with Rijeka in Croatia,
he was prolific. Subsequently, he had a terrible time at PAOK, an incredible time at Malmo, and a season at Rangers
where his lack of presence outside the penalty box undermined his amazing goal total of eighteen goals. Mick Beale’s
need for a more versatile center-forward set the stage for his early exit.
is going through a period of starvation in his new Italian home. From feast, to famine.
Former Rangers ace struggling in Italy
His impressive start at Parma, where he scored three goals in Serie B by early October, including a “beautiful” finish
against Catanzaro, seems to be more and more of a false dawn. Four months have passed since his last goal, which came in a 3-2 loss to Venezia.
has only appeared twice in the last eight league games.
In a time when strikers are expected to lead from the front and contribute both in and out of possession, Colak is, to
put it mildly, a throwback center-forward. His departure from Rangers, where Beale replaced him with the hard-
pressing Danilo and the more mobile Cyriel Dessers, was undoubtedly influenced by his rather one-dimensional skill
set. It appears that Colak is now experiencing a similar problem at Parma, with rumors of a move to Spain emerging during the January window.
After that Spezia match, Parma coach Fabio Pecchia remarked, “It was a match that didn’t put him in the best
conditions.” Colak was having trouble getting on the field and was consequently mainly ineffectual before leaving at halftime (Parma Live).
“When we were far from goal, he wasn’t in the best conditions (to effect the game).”
One goal in four months
Colak currently has three goals in 16 appearances across all competitions. In recent games, Pecchia has even
acknowledged using substitute players while keeping Colak on the sidelines.
Given Colak’s inconsistent record, it wouldn’t be shocking if his next team, whatever they may be, manages to get 20
goals out of a guy who consistently swings between being an inspiration and being a liability.
