Guest icemanblue Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 It's obviously a massively delicate issue to both the club and our captain. To a certain extent, I can understand the clubs reluctance to issue any kind of statement without the blessing of those involved. I doubt that Colo wants his personal life splashed across the tabloids, so we'll be taking a softly softly approach. I'd guess we're trying to smooth things out, in the background, without taking a hard line with him. This isn't your standard football issue centred around money or performances.

Dave Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC Fabricio Coloccini has not handed in a formal transfer request but he has asked to leave #NUFC in January. Basically what I've been trying to say all morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 There's an old copy of The Mag knocking about on my bedroom floor and it's caught my eye increasingly in recent days. It's the first one of this season, says "Going For Gold", with 5 Olympic rings and pictures of Ba, Colo, Cisse, Cabaye and Krul within the rings. Every time I see it I kick it further across the room. Fuck 2012/13. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH the world as we know it is ending, I was hoping for a CB to play with Colo not replace him, can't stand the thought of Williamson and Perch at CB for rest of season and suicide rates on tyneside will be sky high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We have to dig our heels in like, at least till the summer. Imagine trying to bed someone into the prem alongside Williamson man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'd imagine the lack of a formal transfer request means that he will want some kind of 'loyalty' pay off, should be leave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 It'sobviously a highly sensitive issue that neither the club or Colo want to comment on further. Nothing to do with Pardew. Nothing to do with Mike Ashley or Dekka. Nothing to do with the players around him or lack of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thing is even if he doesn't actually leave - to San Lorenzo at least seems very unlikely - what effect will this have on the rest of the players and Colo's own performances which have been indifferent recently?

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 BBC Sport @BBCSport Newcastle captain Fabricio Coloccini informs club he wishes to leave in the January transfer window for personal reasons #nufc #bbcsportsday I do trust BBC, so any lingering doubt I had has gone. Very disappointed at Colo. Could forgive him if he went at the end of the season, maybe, but he's putting us in real danger of going down. All of his loyal fans and the club that has paid him very handsomely, terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he personally comes out and rubbishes the claims, OR admits that he wants to go and absolves all parties connected to NUFC from any blame, then it could potentially be disastrous. Proper end of days stuff for NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Letting him leave in the summer would be a decent compromise, I guess. Just hope we can persuade him to, out of loyalty and because he's normally such a professional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
