Kasper Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So are people saying we should've played him because he had his testicle removed? 1. He had his testicle removed 2. He got fit and wanted to play 3. Pardew didn't have a place for him in the team 4. We sent him on loan 5. He played 6. Found out it had spread 7. Got treatment in Argentina Close?

Village Idiot Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The article says the club didn't support him during his illness, and he took care of everything by himself. It's a short sentence by the journo - not even a quote by Jonás -, so it doesn't clarify the circumstances around it (Jonás himself may have wished to do it this way).

Slim Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 We really need a banner for this man. Hba gets one for being a good player. Imagine the boost it could give him to show we care!

Guest Geordiesned Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 So are people saying we should've played him because he had his testicle removed? 1. He had his testicle removed 2. He got fit and wanted to play 3. Pardew wasn't allowed to play him as that would have triggered a clause in his contract meaning club had to give him a contract extension 4. We sent him on loan 5. He played 6. Found out it had spread 7. Got treatment in Argentina Close? FYP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm not too knowledgable on these things.. why would he have chemo months afterwards? I thought you had chemo during the testicle removal phase, so Oct-Jan time? usually do biopsies afterward. Could well be discovered he was Stage III or IV after the initial surgery.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Lost in translation surely, even Pardew couldn't be that low. All efforts should be generated into supporting Gutierrez not finding something further to bash Pardew with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Confused on the timeline but when did Colo dissapear to Argentina? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 There is no reason to criticise the club until more information is released, to be honest. While the club have told us nothing, it is also important to note that Jonas, himself, has also been invisible for a long period of time. He may have preferred things this way. Mostly, I just have thoughts and prayers for him. For the years he has been at the club, Gutierrez has been a great professional and seemed a good man. I hope to be reading articles about him fully recovering and continuing with football or the next stage of his life, in the coming months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevo Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Forget the club, we know nothing about how they handled this. Any reports of getting sent back to Argentina is more than likely 'compassionate' and nothing released publically was probably Jonas' request. Now it's out i expect Pardew to release a statement. Get well soon Gutierrez lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 As expected, from the Mirror. Gutierrez's health problem has been known about within Newcastle for almost a year, but his privacy respected. The 31-year-old drifted out of the first team picture last season and was loaned to Norwich in January. He added: "I removed the left testicle. I returned to England and Newcastle told me to leave." Newcastle instructed reporters not to persist in questioning why Gutierrez was absent for a period last season, out of respect for the situation. Gutierrez will continue his treatment and recovery in Argentina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays the awareness of testicular cancer is so good that it's usually found out at early stages... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Says he talked to the club and it was his choice to face it on his own, since he preferred to come to Argentina where he could talk to doctors in Spanish, etc... Has one chemo session left and then two months of recovery. He's pretty calm and optimistic, so seems everything is going ok. Says he had some of his sperm frozen before the op, since he still wants to have children. Contrarily to what some of the articles say, he found out the cancer had affected his nodes during this summer, not while playing for Norwich. He kept it secret from almost everybody, claiming that he had shaved his head because of a bet, etc... it's taken him a while to be open about it. Cites Colo, Heinze, Demichelis as some of the people that knew and supported him. Colo has visited him often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
