alpal78 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I don't get people just saying they are fine if he leaves. Surely what matters and the point of the whole discussion is how he leaves us. Of course if there is an agreement between the club and him and we either gave him some compensionate leave or sell him at more or less market value, then that is fine. Anything else and especially if he walks out of the club because he does not get his way would not be acceptable. Whilst we can all understand that some issues are bigger than football, the club can't just let player go because they have personal problems.

Dyeyzzon Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm certain that those barracking Colo here wouldn't be doing so if we were soaring at the moment. Personal problems can just pop up in your face at any time. Colo never intended it to be this way, as he signed a long term deal just a few months back. It also came to him so suddenly, as you never heard anything about it in the months before December. It just mushroomed, and sadly, it's come at a time when the club is facing some problems of its own. And such problems just make the football irrelevant, unfortunately for a struggling team like us. If Colo manages to stay at least till the end of the season, then he's a legend in my view. Takes a true man to keep all of this within himself as humanely possible while still gracefully leading a Premier League club out of one of its deepest holes yet. Needless to say, the circumstances he is in would mean that it wouldn't surprise me either if he goes now, but I will still hold him in my highest regard. Impressive how he kept his head down, trained and played as normal when in an absolute rut. Nothing at all like Tevez. That's why I'm not the biggest fan of those who say "He's the cpatain ffs." He's human more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very much like you don't understand some issues are bigger than football. Of course I do and we can sympathize on a personal level but it does not mean that a player can do whatever he wants including walking out of the club when he has signed a contract. The resolution must be mutually agreeable coz like it or not, the club has paid good money for the player. Like I said, there is no reason why the club can't give him compassionate leave. What do you propose, that a player can just walk out on a contract because of personal reasons? Where does it end? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Some of the stick Coloccini has had from people who haven't got a clue about what is going on is mad. He's a class player and always seems to want to do his best for us, even when things haven't been going well for him during games. I hope he remains captain as I don't see any reason to kick him while he's down and he clearly will be as for some unknown reason he does/did want to leave the club. He seems to have gone from here to zero in no time because of his wish to leave yet none of us actually know what has happened between him and his family or him and the club. I'm not sure it's safe to assume that the player is always at fault when things go wrong. Something has clearly gone wrong, he's gone from being a model pro who always gave his best to a player who wants away and that doesn't happen without reason.

NG32 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks like he at least has to see the season out, I would suspect that Decker's and Ashley's solicitors have ran legal loops round him and his representatives. Hopefully, by this time we can change his mind in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Knowing Colo, he probably made his request in quite a sensible and low-key way. The timing was bad etc, but it probably was made to be more sensational that it actually was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 How is there a lack of information? The guy has personal problems and he wants to leave. Why should you be privy to the exact nature of his problems? Do you expect that you or anyone else will be able to solve them for him if you were to know of its exact nature? I did say we don't need all the details but anyway... A very simple statement from Colo would end all the rumours, many of which certainly wouldn't be helping him or his family if his wife is indeed ill. He'll know about all the negative stories that are going round and he could stop all of them with a few lines on the website. Suppose it'll all come out eventually one way or the other.

themanupstairs Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If he goes I will be quite happy to go on what the club has to say about it. It may for example speak in terms of praise and understanding which would make me think he has legitimate private reasons to leave. It may say very little other than confirming his departure. In that case I think we can draw inferences from the relative silence. His time here has given no suggestion that he would act without the utmost professionalism. That alone buys him the benefit of the doubt until the situation has been resolved one way or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
