Ketsbaia Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The positive is that by dragging this out, we're clearly digging our heels in and being sensible about it. No way does he go now and no way does he go for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE LEAVING NOW! Seriously, if Colo leaves after we finally have 2 CB's who can make us so good defensively, I will cry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way does he go now and no way does he go for free. The negative being if he wants to leave this badly and the club forces him stay he's going to be one unhappy bunny.

toontownman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Has to stay until the end of the season. There is no elegant or graceful way of leaving other than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 So weird, he's always come across as a great professional, both here and when he played in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 So weird, he's always come across as a great professional, both here and when he played in Spain. Agree he is a great professional who will always do his best. I may burn for saying this but I'm not 100% convinced he's a great captain. He's got most of the attributes - automatic choice, popular, great player, experience etc. I am not sure he's been a great leader on the pitch. We did well last season and got results from having momentum but this season the momentum is not there and we have needed some leadership on the pitch and its not been there imo. Would always want him in any side we put out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't much care if he's upset that he has to stay. It's what he signed up for. He'd best play and give his all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Has to stay until the end of the season. There is no elegant or graceful way of leaving other than that. After Pardew said the problem was not the worst a player has faced (or there or thereabouts) and the fact it's still rumbling on just makes it seem like whatever's occurred is less terrible that we first imagined. If that is the case then yes, if he wants an elegant exit, he needs to finish the season with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Still think if things were that bad he would have forced his way out already. The fact he's still here is very encouraging IMO.

Starting to think he will last the season at least. That's what I'm holding on to, as well. I get the feeling the talks will be 'ongoing' until they agree to our compromise. Seems that we're not going to budge, which is exactly the right thing to do. Kind of a 'who blinks first' stand off, and we've got the matchsticks out.

Chrisjraby Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The father of Fabricio Coloccini insists the Newcastle man is anxious to return to San Lorenzo sooner rather than later. Coloccini looks set to leave the Magpies shortly after informing the club of his desire to return to Argentina but they are keen to keep hold of their skipper until the end of the season. Osvaldo Coloccini, currently a youth coach at San Lorenzo, believes a resolution must come quickly. "Fabricio is very anxious, he wants a resolution," he explained. "I think that it's the moment for him to return to San Lorenzo. We want him to come back. "In the last few hours, Newcastle have bought a defender but that means nothing because they were looking for an option in that position anyway. "At Newcastle they are telling him to wait until May but the thing is that I don't know if San Lorenzo are going to be able to wait until then." San Lorenzo manager Bernardo Romeo added: "We need a central defender. We are waiting. "Let's have faith in that the transfer will be done, otherwise we will have to go out and look for another central defender." The 31-year-old centre-back spent time on loan at San Lorenzo from AC Milan more than a decade ago http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8427676/Fabricio-Coloccini-s-father-claims-Newcastle-player-is-anxious-to-join-San-Lorenzo How about you go and buy a fucking defender then you absolute cunts! Don't understand how they can be allowed to openly talk like this in public, if it was us we'd have been done for tapping up weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 This story is weird on so many levels. 1. I never expected Colo to sign a contract only to try and leave 8 months later. 2. There are so many suggestions as to why he wants to leave. 3. The reality in which San Lorenzo perceive they're working in is baffling. 4. The fact that Colo seems to be the last character I'd expect this from. 5. The fact that San Lorenzo act and talk as if they have some sort of right to bring him back without the financial means it should take. Fucking hell Colo man, we need you now, step up.

Ishmael Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The more I read and the more aware of the intentions of his father, the more I expect us not to sell/release ( ) this transfer window. I wouldn't care if Coloccini was made to rot in the reserves for the remainder of the season either. It is a matter of both principle and our reputation.
