themanupstairs Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Should be wearing the armband, IMO. Yup. Leads by example. If his english is good enough, he should be our captain no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cort Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 "Argentine defender Colo loves life with Newcastle United and, following the departure of Kevin Nolan, the Chronicle can reveal that the £10m defender is one of Pardew’s candidates to captain the Magpies next term – a job which he carried out to good effect last season, notably when he powered home a dramatic late equaliser against Wigan." Surely he is the only candidate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 How good is his English these days? I can imagine him having a conversation with the ref: Colo "Hey, why is penilty?" Ref "You cut him right down Colo, it's a stonewall" Colo "jejejeje, yes i know the macarena" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 He'll be on 150k a week by the time he leaves. Even thought about that he gets percentage rise in his wages, quite a few players have them you know. He started here on 80k so now being on 90k is not beyond being actually believable.

Chris_R Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 These journalists are all idiots. Coloccini is on £80k per week. I've just checked FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press have constantly said he's on between 75k-85k for the last 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 it's a good thing that Colo's on 80k a week because it means other clubs sniffing around won't be able to afford him. Pards will be chuffed about that and hopefully he'll get the armband this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7006189,00.html Fabricio Coloccini has re-iterated his commitment to Newcastle. The Argentinian defender, signed from Deportivo La Coruna in 2008, had been linked with a return to Spain with Sevilla. But the 29-year-old, who still has two years on his contract, insists he has no intention of leaving St James' Park this summer. "Now it is about the future at Newcastle and working towards next season," he said. "Our first aim was to be safe last season and we achieved it. Next season we will look to move up the table again." Although Newcastle suffered relegation in his first season on Tyneside, Coloccini helped them win promotion back into the Premier League before finishing 12th last season. And having got to grips with the top flight again, the centre-half is confident the Magpies can re-establish themselves as a top-half team. Togetherness "We work well together as a team and I think that showed when it mattered last season," added Coloccini, who has been left out of Argentina's Copa America squad. "Hopefully we can get better results at home, win more matches than last year and climb up the table. "I am happy at Newcastle and when I hear the fans singing my name it gives me a special feeling." . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Sevilla's given up on him. http://www.vavel.com/futbol/sevillafc/4325-del-nido-proyecto-ilusionante.html "In terms of signings, Newcastle centre-back Coloccini has been ruled out by his high wages."

thenige Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 First time in a while I've been glad one of our players is on ridiculous wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 So the plan of offering a quarter of his market value and offer him half his weekly wages didn't work, I wonder why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bob Moncur: “I think Coloccini is almost perfect for the role because of the way he plays – he leads by example from the back. When he first arrived he was roughed up a bit by Premier League strikers, but playing in the Championship appeared to give him the confidence he played with while over in Spain. Last season we really stood up and took notice of him.” http://bit.ly/jziydq Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
