Guest expat in the pool Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 On 06/02/2013 at 18:41, Tiresias said: 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. didnt say he wanted more money, it was always about his family harmony but to fix it he wasnt prepared to spend his own cash ( buyout) but only wanted us to spend ours ( lose cash ) his family mean almost everything to him, well almost 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...
AlanSkÃrare Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Supported him tonight, was the only person applauding and shouting his name when he came on after 85 mins. Shit game otherwise. Argie CBs did well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 He'll be good in May 2015 but come September 2015 and he turns to fucking Peter Ramage? What else is your crystal ball saying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 He'll be done as a top PL defender in 2 1/2 years like, as great as he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets caught for pace more already than he did a few years back. Still, playing alongside somebody capable of recoverign (Yanga-Mbiwa), I think he could still be useful by then. Shame it won't happen. Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer; I still can't see us letting him just walk off for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think the second was more a Taylor error. The first was a poor challenge to give away a freekick but he also did a lot of good in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Colo's poor judgment in his failed attempt at a clearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still had a chance to deal with the first one. Perch shutting his eyes didn't help. Second one i thought Krul could have done better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You can't really say it was his fault that Bale scored from the free-kick. I'm sorry I'm not having that. There's still a lot that happens between a free-kick being given away and a goal being scored. It was more the fault of Perch than his. He was definitely at fault for the second though, I'd say he and Taylor were as equally as culpable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Regardless of merits, Pardew will play him as long as there's a chance of him staying beyond the summer. Plus he's the captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
