Kanj Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Unless Jonas comes out and says something himself, I don't think there's anything much to criticise the club for here. Not at this point anyway. Seems it was kept quiet by everyone which is perfectly understandable. How he was treated as a player is obviously completely separate. Problem is he didn't come out and say "the club have been magnificent or the club have supported me every single which way" it says none of that, which leaves it all up for speculation. I have to think in the higher profile cases the player has come out and said something after the fact. I pray the club didn't shun the fella or treat him poorly because of it; if so - its worse than all the other shit they've done IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray the club didn't shun the fella or treat him poorly because of it; if so - its worse than all the other s*** they've done IMO. If he wants to keep it low-profile and focus on his recovery, saying words of high praise of the club is probably the last thing on his mind. If things had gone according to his wishes, the club can't be faulted in this case. Unless they refused to pay for his surgery or treatment when asked to but until that comes out, they get the benefit of the doubt. It seems there's some confusion over the mandatory inclusion of players in the PL squad list but Spurs registered 23 players, leaving out BAE. Gut feel is that there will be some Jonas chants this weekend, possibly in the 18th minute. Get well soon, Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sad news for Jonas - however, a friend of mine developed this when he was 35 and had a testicle removed. recovery was complete and he is still going strong at 66, so the portents for Jonas are good because it is one of the most treatable cancers if caught early. Wish him all the best, a wholehearted player who tried his best for the club, unlike some... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It is really sad and shame hope he recover fully. NUFC must respect his contract which ends at the end of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 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. I think you may have been right: The Looney Toon retweeted Samuel @ecanalla 7m Jonás Gutiérrez on @TyCSports : "I got my left testicle removed in Argentina. When I came back to England, [Pardew] told me to leave." Wow. Wow. Horrible news on Jonas. Get well soon, man. Livestrong! Also, horrible treatment of the club if it's really like he's said. Good players, bad players - doesn't matter - everyone needs every bit of support during times like these. Edit: Just read on .com that it was meant that he was allowed to leave for recovery with his contract honoured. If that's the case than it's alright.

pinkeye Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The radiotherapy treatment for testicular cancer can damage / destroy the hip joints. Possibly this could be career ending for Jonas. All you younger guys should be checking regularly for anything that feels different down there!! Wake up call.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Deb Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just woke up to this. My god poor Jonas. Shocking news and that photo is gut wrenching.All the best Jonas hope you live long and strong. Now it's out in the public domain sure he will receive massive support from the fans. Still don't get the bit about the fact the guy had an op for cancer late last year ? October and in January he was told he could leave without any explanation. I remember his interviews at the time and how upset he was. No wonder Colo has been playing like shit. Seeing his great friend just recover from a cancer op and then being told to leave the club. Sad thing is no matter what the club say in mitigation, I won't believe them. What a state of affairs. Anyway what a fanstatic guy and fingers crossed despite the cancer spreading they manage to work their magic and get Jonas back to good health. Howay bonny lad, we're all behind you.

It's the sort of sentiment that would shame a man to hear it said of him. Pity Ashely and Pardew aren't men... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
