Minhosa Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 So he says he wants to stay, and Pardew says we've offered him a new contract and we're waiting for a response from his agent. Anyone else worried? As you say, if it was a great offer we wouldn't be sitting here discussing whether he will sign it or not, we'd be celebrating. On that basis, there has to be some chance he's checking out his options and comparing them to our deal. Hope he considers his status here and how settled his family seem to be and signs on the dotted line. I genuinely think he's happy here and don't particularly think he's that motivated by money (but then I didn't think Jose was) so let's hope the offer isn't offensive enough to push his nose out of joint. He's godd enough to play in any team in the world in this form though, so he may just fancy a title shot somewhere before he hangs up his boots.

Ketsbaia Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Not worried, certainly no more so than before tonight's interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 A little bit worrying but I imagine it's just nowt. The agent issue is irrelevant IMO, sending some contracts or whatnot over to Argentina isn't exactly hard work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Scenarios a) It's just taking time hammering out the details b) they're in no rush because both parties are content, Colo's not going to move away where his kids are settled etc etc (yeah appreciate footballers say this sort of thing all the time) c) Colo's playing hardball and wants another year on it or something d) Colo's been approached by a big club and is pondering leaving e) Colo secretly hates the club and is going to bugger off asap f) the club accidently sent the contract offer to Smith who is signing it as we speak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Please tell me Colo doesn't have that ridiculous Tevez agent, Joob what's his name. Nah. Kia J... lives over here and is Iranian, the scumbag that he is. When he moved from Depor his agent was named as Marcelo Lombilla. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Apparently Colo is pretty prudent with his cash. Rents (or enquired about renting) a flat in Newcastle for when his family want to visit, and spend a considerable amount of time trying to get the price down to almost unreasonable amount.

Fair play to him. If you don't absolutely need it why not try and get it as cheap as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Quite agree. Just making the point that if his new contract includes a lower wage, he'd certainly be the type to notice it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 could be that he'd also be aware of his worth, players will be willing to take a cut or agree to an extension on similar terms if they think it's the best they can get. lets see eh ?

ponsaelius Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm worried about this. Hope it gets sorted out cos it's just about the only thing that worries me about the club atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 We also clearly didn't want him any more because he didn't fit into the way we wanted to play, Coloccini fits in perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
