Ketsbaia Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Glad we have several months notice so it wont hurt as much and the club can prepare properly. Not a fan of this stream of interviews, mind - he should remain dignified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Either he talks too little or he talks too much. Fwiw I don't think there's much to read into his recent interviews. We all know he's more than likely to leave in the summer and his situation or interviews are not affecting the team performances atm. As long as he's professional with his job currently, we can leave certain things til the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest expat in the pool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm guessing he means we only offered a 4 hear contract, and nothing shorter. So... Why did he sign it? Personal problems not evident at that time and he was prepared to see out the contract, see above. Nope, it was reported that the problems were already evident iirc at the time he signed. meaning he was at it then but hadn't been caught Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest expat in the pool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 him and his advisors seem to think that if he keeps complimenting newcastle club/city/fans then we'll let him sail off into the sunset for nothing in the summer, they think we are stupid or they are. if in summer they come up with 4mil i'd be happy, he has 3 years left and realistically can you see him being first choice (justifying large wage) in 2years nevermind 3. anything less sell him to qpr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 With 3 years left, he's surely worth a lot more than £4m. It's like trying to buy Vidic from Man Utd with 3 years left on his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 On the other hand, he's given us very good service, and assuming the personal stuff is true (most likely seems breakdown of relationship with wife whose taken the kids back to Argentina?) then I can understand the club repaying his service with letting him go back. It's the whole San Lorenzo acting like 'saviours' that winds me up. He's given us reasonable notice now, we can replace him in summer. These things happen and his family are in the long term more important to him almost certainly. Know it's awful to give up on such a great defender but talking like we should punish him by keeping him here another season? He's done too much for us to deserve that.

It's like trying to buy Vidic from Man Utd with 3 years left on his contract. the last year of contract he'll be nearly 35, will he be playin regular or sitting on bench collecting big wages costing us money. what i'm saying is he'll be worth his money for next 2 years but will he for final year. so if someone is buying him what would they offer him, surely not a 3 year on the big wages he's on now, maybe 2 years on big money or 3 on average wage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done too much for us to deserve that. he has performed for us but he was paid very well to do so and not love the love of his beloved newcastle cos his beloved is san lorenzo. this will be a business decision and he is an asset and if we can get the value of 2 years of his contract for him then we could get away with the liability of his final year's salary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 But he didn't in the end did he? I'm willing to believe it was personal reasons why he wanted to go not San Lorenzo, and I can understand that seeming more important to him than us for a while.

Guest expat in the pool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 he didnt leave because we wouldnt let him for nothing. he's an asset he didnt leave cos it would have cost 6m and he loves money more than san lorenzo, thats why he loves us a bit cos we pay him dough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest expat in the pool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 if u don't like my rational fair enough, but no need for childish attempts to discredit it. sentiment goes out of the window these days with footballers, it should be the best deal for the club not for collo cos he has been paid handsomely for his efforts already. he took the money and new deal when it suited him oh and by the way i think he's class but when he's gone he's gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't disagree that Colo is paid very well and should be expected to do his job, but to assign his motivations to greed is off imo, probably the most money he could make is staying here, there has been no suggestion that he was trying to earn more money from any party. He had personal reasons to leave tried to keep it quiet, then his old club jumped in made a circus of it, he wanted to go and was grateful they offered him a job in Argentina, Newcastle said we still need you, he said ok. It shook his standings in my book a fair bit but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume his main motivation was his family.

Guest palnese Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If the club is okay with him leaving in the summer, I'd stop playing him as soon as we're safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well yes that's fair he could have bought our his contract if he'd wanted. I hope we keep him past summer but I suspect Pardew may have got him to stay with a promise he'll be released in summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest expat in the pool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 and if he goes good luck to him i would wish him well, but any money received will go towards a better replacement so lets get what we can and what he's worth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
