worthy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well, I am not so sure having player on our books that wants to go and as a captain is any good. Right now we really need the lads to be 100% in it with their hearts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wally_McFool Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The timing of this story is terrible, just before such an important game. Yeah, the story was written by a fuckin' mackem supporter, Martin Hardy. Theres a surprise! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Bottled Dog, that makes no sense. If we don't sell Colo then we don't have or need that money to spend on a replacement. My head may be a bit fuzzy today , but didn't you just question why people were talking about the financial side of a potential loss of Colo as the money side of it didn't affect the supporters?

Wilson Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This club can't afford what we would ask for Colo right? Apparently. No way we'll lose out on cash IF he does go, need to dig our heels in, till the summer at least. He can't be captain tomorrow if he is playing.

Ketsbaia Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The only 2 things keeping me sane are that he was eating in public with his family last night and that there simply has to be money involved. No way on earth should we let him go now, not a chance. I want Ashley to be a bastard with him here. He needs to play tomorrow too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This club can't afford what we would ask for Colo right?

Nah, we need Pardew to come out in his pre match presser and confirm he's still his captain and that he's going nowhere. Taking the armband off him would only fuel the hysteria.

The College Dropout Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We are fooked either way. We can't decent money from him from where he wants to go and if he stays he'll continue to under-perform because he's not happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Nixon's take on things, taken from FB: San Lorenzo are one of Argentina's big fives. They're doing very poorly in the league right now and aren't blessed financially (despite having a rich owner, Ashley's Argie Cousin?). In fact Colo's given them money in recent times. They couldn't afford to relocate him but are trying (through his Dad, Ex San Lore player, current youth director) to get him to generate the entire move himself. He couldn't afford to buy himself out, so while he may have asked the club to let him go, they won't. Them saying how much they want Coloccini is no different to you or I saying how much we'd love Andy Cole to return circa 1998/99 when we were pap. It's all been sensationalist pap in the Argentine press lately, and they've been linked with Mauro Cetto a far more reasonable option. I've heard he's had a few off field issues this season (not the Pardew argument) but to make out like he won't be professional or this is crisis clearly forget being on the brink just before Keegan. Fernando Gago is in a similar situation with Valencia - trying to get a move to Boca Juniors, but remember how bleak financially Argentina is (in general as well as its league) and you begin to see why this is unlikely. Nothing against the author, but he seems to have just spliced together Argentine tabloid and a bit of speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sky are apparently reporting that Colo has not handed in a transfer request...... Sky's silence, so far, has been something I've used as reassurance of it all being bollocks. I know they're not the bastion of news corps...but it seemed they were doing some digging before going with the Indi (unlike the Ronny Gill). Still nothing on the NUFC page: http://www1.skysports.com/football/teams/newcastleunited Trying to stay optimistic. Well, we know David Craig is well in with Ashley and Llambias. I'm not close to a TV, so can't confirm either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we need Pardew to come out in his pre match presser and confirm he's still his captain and that he's going nowhere. Taking the armband off him would only fuel the hysteria. Can see where your coming from, but I think it's fairly obviously true he wants out. To come out with it now isn't something a captain should be doing considering how much shit we're in already, don't think he deserves it if I'm honest. All this is assuming he has told the club he wants out, if it's not the case then yeah, him and Pardew need to squash the rumours and move on.

Yeah, the story was written by a fuckin' mackem supporter, Martin Hardy. Theres a surprise! Martin is not a mackem. Used to be a ST at NUFC, as was his mam and his sister.
