TRon Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It's not surprising really. I'm sure we have clubs making enquiries for Colo and Tiote as a lot of clubs would want players like them much like every good player will have clubs showing an interest in them this summer. The only worrying issue is that we have two non-football guys running our club who only look at things from a money making perspective. Well we'll see if this transpires. Like Sewelly said, the other sales while they might not have been popular still made sense from a footballing point of view. If we sell Coloccini then it would be conclusive proof that the balance sheet is all the current regime is interested in. He was player of the season for most people.

Guest Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/sevillafc/1001180/dificil/rastreo/central.html Reassuring from a local Seville website. Basically listing a load of centre-backs they want but can't afford. (Garay, Varane, Cuellar, Coloccini all mentioned) Think it's much ado about nothing this one.

morpeth mag Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Makes no footballing sense - Pardew recognises Colo enables us to play from the back. Also makes little financial sense in that a replacement of Colo's calibre would cost almost as much in wages and probably more in fees. The only angle I can see is if Enrique and Jonas are to be sold and maybe he gets unsettled but we're a long way from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If you get someone class in it's going to cost at least £10m and £50k pw so I don't see where the saving is over the next two years. All that could be gained is signing someone for five years and avoiding the difficult contract negotiation with Colo that needs to occur in the next 12 months. It feels like a change too far for this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudwiser Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It would be daft to sell for anything less 8m considering he was bought for 10 Any idea what kind of wedge he's on? this could be a factor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It would be daft selling him at almost any price. He is such an integral part. We have to fucking keep the core of our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 UNless he's actually asked to go. In which case £7m still isn't enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised if he won't be here come the end of the transfer window. Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised about anyone being sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Daft to sell for any price, he's the lynchpin of the whole defence. Sell him and the back 4 is completely disrupted and needing at least the same money spent to try and restore it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It would be daft to sell for anything less 8m considering he was bought for 10 Any idea what kind of wedge he's on? this could be a factor? I'd be surprised if he wasn't the highest earner at the club. According to an article in the Mirror which listed Guthrie as being on £4k it has Colocccini on £80k. It's only himself (linked away), Jose and Barton (gone soon), Smith (told to do one), and Xisco (I'd be flabbergasted if he wasn't available) that are likely to be on a "bigger"wages. Get them out and that'll take a huuuuge chunk off the wage bill which seems to be the main objective these days when it comes to sales. In fact it's only Jonas who hasn't be linked or told to do one. On a seperate note if he does go to Sevilla thats a pretty good defence they'll have with him, Fazio, Navarro and Caceres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Absolute must keep, one of our best performers. We need to be careful that we don't rip the spin out of the team and end up with ten new faces that don't know the club or the league.. Evolution not revolution.

Guest Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I can see this one being a goer now. http://www.abcdesevilla.es/20110618/deportes-sevilla/sevi-agente-coloccini-advierte-dificultad-201106180007.html Quotes from his agent in the Spanish press. "It is not to say that the player could not end up at Sevilla, for he is proud that a club of this calibre is interested in him. However, to be realistic about the situation, the player spent some great years in Spain, and they could try, but I notice it wouldn't be an easy transfer".
