Scored two in the last few mins at the end of the Europa League game v Everton.
FT Everton 1 - 5 Atalanta
To be fair it was only against Everton.
Still, I’m sure it will give a certain aUtHor enough ammo to bash Tan for the rest of the week, possibly two.
'Ginge',unfortunately, has a recurring injury problem, which is a shame, as he could have / should have captained HIS country a lot more.
Collins has never "turned his back on his country", so that's quite a pathetic statement really,and should be retracted immediately.

With that attitude it’s no wonder he had to play second fiddle. That’s not the behaviour of a captain.
So Malky was right, he was one for the future.
Of course he was, but do you really think malky spent £8 million on him and gave him the number 9 shirt for him to make a few cameos ?
Malky rolled the dice and lost on that one, then tried to cover his arse by saying it was a signing for the future.
If we had played to his strengths and he hadn't have been injured then who knows it could have worked out differently
Same people that said Cornelius couldn't roll the ball into an empty net will all claim Tan is a menace over there. Not so much as clicked on there in weeks. Used to have the occasional nose on a weekly/monthly basis.
Strikers are all about confidence. For whatever reason he visibly had none, big fee, possibility of being responsible for goals for a team new to the league, big move on his own.. whatever the reason..I remember being excited we had him (mind boggled at the price as I'd seen 1m and no more than 5m quoted) he didnt do it for us, hes managed to go to a decent Italian outfit and score goals...good on him.
If you are captain of your country then you cant have the attitude displayed by Ginge. He has every right to be dissapointed by nbot being in the squad of course, but sulking, thats unproffesional. Colemans actions were justified as he was obviously dropped in the first place for his attitude, not his ability.
When you compare that attitude to that of England captains such as David Beckham, and Wayne Rooney, both of whom were dropped and forced their way back into squads admirably, not to mention the dogs abuse they received off some sections of the fans and media, then you cant possibly make a case for Ginge being an international captain.
Ashley Williams, an Englishman, has been far more commited to the Welsh cause than a so-called Welshman, Collins has been over the years.
