Sick of this. The way they're looking at demanding we give up one of our best assets is laughable. Mike and Derek should have laughed them out of the meeting ages ago

 

There's no way they let him walk for free. No way. If he leaves it will be on our terms. We know these lot well enough to know they arent just going to let him walk.

If he has to go then we should simply retain his playing registration if San Lorenzo cant pay a decent fee for him.  Something else that doesn't add up is that he funds an orphanage back in Argentina doesnt he?  How is he going to keep funding that if he loses the wages we are paying him.  Maybe he is getting stuffed with tax by the UK because he is sending money abroad and needs to get out of the country before he has to stump up a hefty amount to the taman, or maybe San Lorenzo said they will fund it ad infinitum if he plays for them?  Perhaps that is his reason for wanting to join them.  If he was disillusioned with football surely he would just retire.  I think its clear he wants to keep playing so there has to be an underlying reason.  The Talksport S American ITK said there was no question of his wife being ill when San Lorenzo first indicated he wanted to go home to Argentina and play for them, that was only mentioned when it transpired that he had just signed a four year contract and wouldnt be able to buy himself out of his contract, without the permission of NUFC, until there were only two years left to run, a la Jonas at Real Mallorca.

I don't get what there is to discuss, surely we would be reluctant to let him go even for a fee unless it was a really good offer. He needs to fkn man up and get on with his job, the one we pay him to do, the one we pay him VERY well to do.

 

The club want the fans to show him love keep him, well its getting harder and harder to do that the longer this drags on without us knowing the facts, hard to sympathize with him when we have no idea why he is so desperate to leave.

Also, I can only assume it's not genuinely urgent/essential because he hasn't gone already.

If he really doesn't want to stay surely we could come to a compromise and allow him to buy his contract out once we are safe from relegation

 

Buy himself out of his contact in May is the ONLY option he should be offered  if he does not give his all until then, then he should be made to see out his contract.

I know we would be paying him but we cannot be put through this by any player let alone our club Captain.

Can see these dicks leaving the negotiation table with Colo having got what they came for then turning and saying "Any chance you could get your PM to give us the Falklands too?"

 

Honestly don't understand what appears to be them thinking they have a right to just take him and us to be completely fine with that.

 

Osvaldo is a fucking arsehole as well.

This just seems insane to me. San Lorenzo and Colo' think that they have all the bargaining chips by.... not offering us any money or any kind of financial incentive and setting a deadline for us to accept their offer to let our Captain go.

 

It's the equivilant of Luxembourg demanding China submit to all their demands or prepare to be ahinallated.

His contract is worth more than his transfer fee.

 

If he's on 50k p/w that's 2.5m a year. 3 years left, 7.5m

 

Yep, but he actually plays football for us for his contract. We get a service. He goes, we lose the service.

Is he not on £85k pw?

 

He's on 60k a week now.

 

So that was the conditions of the new 5 year contract last year? If so, not bad by Ashley like...

 

This is a case of player power. The alternative is that he stays and is forced into the reserves. We all lose out. Least this way we recoup the wages (I know we lose out on a fee but we know Ashley wouldnt snub a chance to save some cash...). I think he will stay til end of the season. Hopefully the fans stay behind him and give him a send off (unless his "personal issue" is more along the lines of the "rumours" rather than the illness story)

It was reported that his deal was an increase on the previous one wasnt it? Clearly the £80k wages were bullshit in that case.

Release him from his contract. Hold his registration. If he's that desperate to play football then San Lorenzo can cough up a fee. Otherwise I'm sure there's some five a side nets somewhere in Argentina. Either the family issues are true and it's not about the football. Or it's purely about wanting to ditch us for his hometown and his daddy and he can get absolutely and royally fucked.

What annoys me the most is that his dad and club - in the quotes i have read - always speaks about how nice it would be for them to work together.

 

Its never about colos wife being sick. WTF, i know her sickness shouldn´t be "that" public, but maybe everybody was more understanding when we knew what it was all about.

 

colo should (as our captain - in hard times) tell us what is going on imo.

 

I believe his wife is sick and it is truely sad...but it easy to be suspicious about her condition and if it is used as a strategy to make a move easier...
