worthy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We can surmise until the cows come home but we can't really judge him until we know what this personal issue is. Until then he has my support 100 percent but if it turns out he is home sick or something along them lines then I will lose a lot of respect for him. Colo doesn't seem like the person to get homesick, and why would it come now a year after signing a new deal. I think the issue is very much a serious one and I am not sure we can trust that he will be 100% on the pitch, not at all infact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 A family crisis is a family crisis people. If it's true I doubt we'll have a proper compromise. Worst case scenario, he buggers off to Argentina and we stop paying him. He's trying to go the gentleman route. Which ties in with what his father has said. Hmmm while still making sure he doesn't lose out, he'd have handed in a transfer request if so. A transfer request is pretty hostile like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 How can he be homesick?? He hasn't lived in Argentina since he was a young footballer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Can't we just give him time off to sort this crisis out. Rather lose him for 5 games than permanently. Rather he was unhappy and we didn't get relegated personally. This. He's a professional footballer. He needs to get on for what he's paid to do. Easier said than done. Can anyone honestly say there is nothing in their personal life that would make you miss work if it went tits up? I know I cant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 He can ask as much as he likes, there is no way we are going let him bugger off for nowt this month, it would be madness!! Now man up you curly haired ponce and get on with it. You have the rest of your life to go back and live in Argentina. As we concede 4 goals tomorrow and he's HAULED OFF.

TBG Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think the closest we're going see to an official statement for now will be when the teamsheet is handed in tomorrow. We'll announce it during the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This has been going on for a while and he's still been on the teamsheet so I imagine (hope) he'll play tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now who blinks first? how can we possibly have no choice tho? If the options are: 1. Pay him and he refuses to play. 2. Cancel his contract. The club would take option 2 every time. The rest of his contract is worth £10m in wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Well, if he really doesn't want to be here we may not literally have "no choice", but that's certainly what it boils down to in practical terms.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
