relámpago blanco Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Why don't we club together and see if we can raise 2m Euros. Its only about 40 quid per season ticket holder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 From one of there fans Exactly my thinking. He's a world class defender and if he was going to leave us, I'd prefer for a big team challenging for titles. Going to Newcastle would be a bad career move, even to Tottenham. The Premier League is simply not the league for him either, I can really imagine him struggling. It does seem bizarre though that Colo has been declared unhappy and unwilling to go on the trip to Venezuela because he's ''desperate'' to move....to Newcastle. Only a few weeks ago Colo said himself that he is very happy here and wanted to stay. Like many have said here already, its probably just an agent ploy to get a better contract for his client. If it's not though and he does genuinely feel this way - let him go. There's no point keeping someone who is unhappy.(even though the club pretty much made him who he is today!) It's sad that his life here could end this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugsy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Just been reading that forum - when they got wind of an English club coming in for him the messages were on the lines of - "Excellent - add 4-5m euros to any price!" Still, they seem to have a lot of praise for the guy, though he took a while to settle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObaStar Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Sky sports said we are arguing over 1 millions euros. we offered 11 they want 12.

Dave Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It'd be daft to lose a player we want for £700k, but then it'd be daft to just cave in to their demands - especially if the agent is right and they're playing silly buggers about it. We need to strike a balance here, and I hope the failure to land Modric (for one?) tells them this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Its as though everytime Depor need some cash to sort out their finances, one of their spurious players gets dangled in front of us and then we get bummed. I'm sure this lad is different as he's actually been scouted but the whole thing does worry me. Their chairman is a right piece of work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Up in Newcastle, Argentina defender Fabricio Coloccini is very, very happy to be swapping life at Deportivo La Coruna for a life shipping goals in the Newcastle defence. "Fabricio will join up with Newcastle on Tuesday, and is very happy with the situation," says his agent, who will be pretty happy with his cut of the £7m fee too.
