I think he could play anywhere he wants based on last night. Big, strong, pacy, good touch and composed on the ball. Obviously, with his physical attributes and experience he's best suited to CB, and I'd like to see him there asap as he showed he was quick and that's what we're missing back there. I agree he can play there, he's a good footballer. Just meant I think he's a bit wasted there.

Aye, impressed. Big, strong, quick and good in the air. Looking forward to seeing him play at CB, cos a RB he aint.

He will get his chance. He has been signed for the long term, so he just needs to patient for a short while. Lets face it, Saylor will get injured at some point & Colo is most probably away in the summer.

That's brilliant.

I hope he does release some sort of statement thanking the fans for their support. It's the least he could do quite frankly, though I'm doubting any such statement will happen.

It does concern me, yes. He clearly doesn't want to be here, expected the club to give him away a few months into a new 5 year contract, & writes a letter of apology to the club who tried to sign him for nowt. All without a thought for the club or fans he is supposed to be captain of. The only reason he hasn't walked is it would've cost him £7m. So much for putting "matters of the heart ahead of other matters" eh Colo?

Definitely shouldn't be captain. He's finished for me now.

I'd be very disappointed in him if he does walk out, but I'm not buying this story at face value. I'll wait til we hear something from the club/player. On a side note, is it just me that's noticed the Independent writing a few shite hawking articles on NUFC recently?

Read somewhere on twitter there's a press conference been called for 10:45am tomorrow. Probably have to wait til then.

How come no official confirmation?

Piece of piss this journalism lark isn't it.

Are people pulling the pissers of Newcastle fans or what?

Colo: 'I'm staying' Llambias: *Turns toward Mbiwa* 'We don't need you now. Go home.'

Sad, sad, sad.

Who's that out of interest?

Likely to be tomorrow rather than today according to lee Ryder

This is going to be bullshit isn't it.

Siem De Jong would be fantastic, but see there being minimal prospect of him even wanting to come here.

This is sour grapes I admit. But I hope the fuckers go down. Oh, and obviously that we don't!

Whenever I've seen Elliot play, which has only been Europa League, he's always impressed me personally. Looks a good shot stopper and can kick better than Krul. Maybe just a bit short for coming out for crosses/set pieces.

He's been here 5 years, he isn't homesick. Not so desperately that he has to leave now. He's citing personal reasons, not a falling out with pardew. Short of it being an illness in the family which would be fair enough, he should honour his contract IMO. This is farcical, unless San Lorenzo can stump up 10 mill they can do one as well.

If its true all of this is due to the breakdown of his marriage after he's been caught shagging around (which is the rumour I've heard) that's all his doing and not the clubs fault. And now he wants us to give him away...for nowt... so he can go back to Argentina? He can fuck off like.

Can San Lorenzo even pay a fee for him? Even at 30 he'll still demand a reasonable transfer. I don't understand why he couldn't just wait until the summer at least.
