Guest Nixon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 He's told Argentinian telly he's staying. Cutting edge reporting there. I spent too long debating whether to put the first two words of the sentence in block capitals or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Get in! much more fussed about Colo staying than Cabaye going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ItalianMagpie Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 He could have come out of this in a better and more elegant way, mind. It's unsettling at best when your captain says he'd rather go back home and that he's staying cause he's forced to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unsettling at best when your captain says he'd rather go back home and that he's staying cause he's forced to. That would be patronising. It's been quite obvious he doesn't want to be here since January. However he's a professional on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah, we're used to players feeding us PR nonsense tbh, really refreshing to hear a footballer just tell us how he's feeling. I'm just glad he's fucking staying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 No coincidence this came out with Cabs leaving.. Bloody delighted. As mentioned, I would rather keep Colo than Cabs if it was one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Can you really have a captain who doesnt want to play for you beyond respecting a contract? What motivation does he have to play at his best & motivate the others to do likewise at this point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he did want to play for us until he arrived at his first training session though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I don't think it's that he doesn't want to play for us, he's said he loves the club, the fans n the area, it's just the circumstances that he'd rather be back home with his family, hes actually being professional and committing early on so it can all be sorted, well that's the naive me thinking anyway. To have clarity from him this early on is a huge bonus tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad he's f***ing staying. It would be refreshing if he was any other player; as the captain he's got some responsabilities, and I'm not sure it's great to hear that, for us and especially for his teammates. Not saying he should lie or patronise, but I fail to see the need to add the part concerning the club forcing him to stay instead of simply stating he's gonna be our captain next year too.

chicago_shearer Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 More than offsets Cabaye in my opinion. Fantastic news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 When he signed he said he came here for the money. He's always been blunt like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Think we already had enough points by then, as it turned out. It's not as simple as looking at the final table and thinking that we were safe. If we hadn't got the 4 points from our 2nd and 3rd last games then Wigan would have had more of an incentive to get maximum points against Villa instead of drawing what was a meaningless game. Coloccini is a massive part for why we are still in the top division, probably the biggest reason because after the Liverpool game we were only going in one direction.

toontownman Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I bloody love Coloccini... will probably be subject to a 15m bid from Monaco tmrw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 When he signed he said he came here for the money. He's always been blunt like that. Didn't blame him either. Was always gonna be a huge offer to get him to move here at that point in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The captain is back for this season, fantastic news. Can't wait to see his silky smooth skills and class defending again. Hope he takes Mapou under his wing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
