Jonás Gutiérrez (now managing Club Almagro)

Regardless of how diligent Jonas has been with training on his own - he will be no where near match fit for some time so why would any club take him on loan if they are not going to get the best out of him for a number of weeks.

 

On that basis, it would make more sense to have him training with the club and at least  giving him games with the U21s. 

 

Unless of course the player requested to stay in Argentina and he did have personal issues last season that meant he spent some weeks there.

My personal suspicion around Jonas' absence is that the people at the top don't trust Pardew to not pick him, triggering his renewal clause so have him 'training' on the other side of the world.

 

As minging as Jonas had become on the field he always seems like a decent character but is in a catch 22 situation - nobody wants him at his wages on loan or a free, he's not going to buy out the remainder of his contract and the management are too pig-headed to pay up his contract to just get him away from the club and probably see the current position as their best option.

Remember him playing for Mallorca at the Camp Nou, making this incredible Ronaldo-esque run and getting fouled in the box. He then asked to take the penalty, which his teammates allowed after such a great play. He then took one of the weakest penalties I have ever seen, Valdés didn't have to move to stop it. :lol:

Got his name on the back of one of my shirts. He was good, he was bad and he was Jonas. Great pro treated badly by a bunch of headless pigs.

 

Will always be one of the guys who stuck with us after relegation in a World Cup year. Nice acting in that ad too!

Heard a bad rumour about his health a month or two ago. Not something you would want to spread as hear'say but it's kind of worrying that nobody knows whats going on. Is he still training with the club as that would pretty much confirm the rumour as false.
