now, who would u play him along, taylor or faye? (if he comes)

 

Faye. No question about it.

 

There's still the huge matter of tying this deal up if any of the blurb in the Spanish press is true.

 

well if they've left him out of their pre-season tour, then a club must have a bid, and his agent has said it's Newcastle, although we've heard this one before

Beye....Faye.....Coloccini......Enrique  has a good balance, 2 french speakers next to each other and 2 spanish speakers next to each other.

 

All that we need now is a midfield to protect them

not sold on this one. Hope it turns out to be true, but not convinced at all.

 

That said, if both the reported bids for Coloccini and Baptista are true they would probably just sit tight in spain until weds when we are over there.

I'll be surprised if Butt isn't a main-stay in the team like he has been for the last couple of seasons. Unfortunately.

Good point, hopefully KK can do a bit of business whilst away. :indi:

If we get him and Burdisso (considering they can cover RB and LB respectively) then our defence looks pretty set for now. We still need a target man (I really hope Keegan isn't planning on using Smith at all) to help keep the ball at the other end of the pitch though.

the meeting between Coloccini’s agent and president Lendoiro ended in nothing as Newcastle’s offer was rejected by Deportivo. However the Argentinean defender isn’t travelling to Venezuela with the rest of the squad. The club has officially admitted that right now they still trying to decided what to do with the player.

 

Marcelo Lombilla, the agent of Fabricio Coloccini, already returned to Argentina after the offer from Newcastle United was rejected by Deportivo. He left La Coruña angered since he understands that Lendoiro broke his promise of opening the door to the Argentinean defender if an interesting offer appears. Despite Newcastle’s offer was rejected, the player didn’t travel with the rest of the club for the tour in Venezuela, apparently because Coloccini refused to do it.

 

Lombilla explained to reporters that Lendorio told him on the phone that he was rejecting the offer coming from England “He preferred to not see me there, because there were some journalists on there, and to see me with my state of tension, he preferred to not see me talking. I’m tired and I’m leaving. I have been working for three months to see them raising the offer from eight to eleven million, and when I do it and bring the offer in paper, it’s worthless. Maybe what he (Lendoiro) wants is to see Newcastle coming and building the new stadium “

 

Later the agent continued discharging his fury over Lendoiro “When somebody look at your face and tell you that Coloccini will have the chance to leave, and later he doesn’t fulfil his word, that’s avoiding the truth. He doesn’t eat and neither leaves other eat. He isn’t allowing his departure and neither is studying his situation at the club in order to valorise Fabricio as he deserves.”

 

Lombilla also explained that Coloccini himself was who decided to not travel to Venezuela with the rest of the squad “He doesn’t want to travel, because he’s waiting for a resolution and to see somebody giving the face and talking to him after receiving the promise they will let him go out.” Finally, he menaced the player might try to use FIFA’s article 17 in order to find an exit. This legislation allows any player fulfilling his third year at any club to find an exit after the case is studied by the FIFA.

 

It was also rumoured that Tottenham Hotspurs was interested in the player, but it seems the only offer that was officially presented was the one of Newcastle United. About this offer, there are two versions. One that corresponds to Lombilla’s declarations: £8 million offer (€10.15 million) and that will include more money according to some incentives. Other version of the offer appeared in Radio Coruña as the same Lombilla explained: a €11 million offer plus €1 million for incentives, also that Newcastle would take charge of the 15% that corresponds to the player (€2 million) and all the expenses of the transfer, meaning the real value of the offer is €16 million. It was also rumoured that Newcastle was offering to double the salary of the player.

 

Anyhow, the offer was rejected by president Lendoiro and Coloccini is staying in La Coruña until his future is finally decided. At canaldeportivo’s article in which the names of the players traveling to Venezuela were revealed, the club also announced that Coloccini is staying in Spain because “his future will be decided in the next days.

Is he worth 8mill though?

 

I think he's a good player and with our current position and with the season starting soon he's as good as we are going to get. Besides with that mop he's bound to become a cult hero of sorts.

 

 

 

:lol: Never mind the hair, he has some neck on him, bet he can get some power with his nut..

looks to me like the depor president is doing the same as he did with luque, price goes up everyday.

we offered what he wanted and has now gone back on his word and wants more money

 

I am now a bit 'meh' on this transfer.

 

I have expressed concerns about our lack of transfer activity, however, this president is a crook, and i for one would not bow down to his demands, even if it means missing out on a player, however good he appears to be.

 

If it comes off great, but, i dont want that crook to feel he has got his own way

He can't use the "Webster ruling" as he needs to hand in his notice within a period of days after the season has finished. So he'd have to wait until the end of next season to do that.

So we've apparently been on this one for at least three months.

 

I was told a week or two ago that we had major bids in for three players and one was Modric, I didn't get the other two names.  The bids were dating back at least 6 weeks.

Must have some money then 10m for Coloccini, 18 for Modric I bet the other was Gomis at about 10-15 and the media have the cheek to say we are skint.  I'd love it if we spent 50M this week just to piss off the media and all the Mackems who are saying we have no money.

Funnily enough I did wake up this morning worringly confident we'd see some major movement (the transfer type, not bowel) over the next fortnight.
