Cajun Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 What would concern me about Pearce isnt his relegation but the competition he has at international but still only had one cap or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturla Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Has San Lorenzo ever bid for Coloccini? My understanding is that they have wanted him for free, I don't count that is bidding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Has San Lorenzo ever bid for Coloccini? My understanding is that they have wanted him for free, I don't count that is bidding. Thats the impression I get. No money offered, just unsettling him, hoping we'll let him go for nowt. Ashley is many things. A mug he isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Would be quite the turn around if a group of random investors and money men somehow cough up 7-10M. I really think its on the verge of collapse and he'll be back with the armband ready to lead our back line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Good point that. If Colo stays, what would people do with the captaincy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 There's nobody to take over the captaincy. One of many problems with the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Am I the only one that thinks the armband is just a prop nowadays? Nope. For the most part it's symbolic rather than genuinely meaningful. Particularly in our case right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'd rather just give it to Krul (so then it's not really an issue), but wouldn't taking it away from Colo just create more problems? Colo might not deserve it after the whole saga last season but someone like Cabaye doesn't either, especially after his latest comments. We don't really have that many worthy candidates.

Yorkie Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Am I the only one that thinks the armband is just a prop nowadays? Nope. For the most part it's symbolic rather than genuinely meaningful. Particularly in our case right now. Just depends who it is, really. None of us are in the dressing room so we don't know how things play out intricately. However, you can look at the likes of Nolan and Owen as polar opposites for the captaincy. Nolan appeared to have a genuine talismanic influence amongst the squad of the time, whereas Owen was Captain for all the wrong reasons. Probably wasn't the worst decision at the time of awarding him it, but I'll be surprised if I'll ever witness a worse Captain than in 08/09. He should never have had it for as long as he did. Fwiw, Colo seems like a decent Captain based on soundbites from the rest of the squad (and the manager ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, leaders come to the fore whether they wear it or not, and wearing it doesn't make you one either. In Spain captaincy is just adjudicated by seniority, so I suppose it's less of a big deal.

Kanj Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Shearer had the armband and no doubt commanded respect but everyone who's said anything has always pointed at Gary Speed being the glue that kept everyone together and was the true leader in the changing room. Its Colos captaincy until someone else steps up to be that person for us as far as I'm concerned. I do however, see someone like Mapou (who was captain of Montpellier) possibly growing into that role. His quotes from when he signed showed a very, very mature young man with tremendous self confidence and leadership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 We're absolutely fucked if he leaves. Desperately need him to stay. I thnk we would have went down last season if it wasn't for him coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
