Nah, talks of Article 17 and it seems it doesn't apply to Colo, now. He too would need to cough up the cash for the remainder of the contract IIRC.

That's the bog standard 3-match ban for violent conduct. Afraid he'll end up getting more.

Hazard will get a 10000000000 match ban now, won't he?

Depends on what's really going on behind the scenes tbh. If there are legit family reasons then I wouldn't strip him of it now. However if this is just a scummy attempt to force a move to San Lorenzo then I'd strip him of it in a flash. Have a bunch of the French lads jump him at a press conference and beat him down and take the armband off him. Then Cabaye can stand over Colo and hold it aloft. That'd send a pretty clear message I reckon. The faction needs a manager, the French lads are probably not good enough on the mic.

They had this lad that won best player in one of our biggest youth tournaments this summer... ¿Ruíz? Not sure about the permit. Very quick, plays a bit like Di María but more central, and more s***, of course. Or like Jonás but less shit. Anyway, probably not worth the hassle but the only player from San Lorenzo that came up to my mind.

Think it'll end up being midtablemeter myself. You'll come good.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8427676/Fabricio-Coloccini-s-father-claims-Newcastle-player-is-anxious-to-join-San-Lorenzo How about you go and buy a f***ing defender then you absolute c***s! Don't understand how they can be allowed to openly talk like this in public, if it was us we'd have been done for tapping up weeks ago. Outrageous.. Argentinians, man, their sense of entitlement sometimes... Met a Newell's fan the other day that thought that we should pay up on Messi because we stole him and we owe all our success to them.

Piqué just became dad; named his son "Milan".

Heh, I had not noticed that Sports Direct brand colors are the same ones as the French flag.

So weird, he's always come across as a great professional, both here and when he played in Spain.

Materazzi/Mou are such great heels. He should have followed him to Madrid.

I don't think we need him, we have like 1000000 attacking midfielders. It's been reported we've sent scouts to Roma, although it was presumed it was for Marquinhos given our precarious depth at CB.

Pjanic claims we are interested in him and would love to sign. First time I see a player tapping himself up.

Incidentally, although this has been a two-leg round, stuff like this is why I *hate* the two-leg system in the Copa del Rey. We no longer have these kind of upsets.

Well, we have that one too.

No. Need to win final. Always amazes me people still need to be told this, the losers of the League Cup never get into Europe. For some reason this does my nut in. Your two cups confuse me. We have 3 cups Which one is the 3rd? The Paint Trophy?

No. Need to win final. Ok, was going by the Spanish system here.

Bradford to play in Europe if it stays that way?

Cissé can pass up as French, but Krul sticks like a sore thumb there.

Crap, he's in my FF team, and doing well... Strange of him to end his playing career while still starting in a PL side.

Wait, so he'd resign because NUFC bought his captain, and then he'd go and join NUFC?

Ah Chapelle's! I watched a few episodes here and there. Really need to catch up on the whole thing eventually.

Still remember Jonas taking quite possibly the softest penalty of all time when we played Mallorca at Camp Nou. He was decent for Mallorca, but his workrate and drive combined well with his other more talented but lazier attacking players like Güiza or Ibagaza
