Dave Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Tend to agree that NUFC could and should have put out a statement this morning though. It was a massive story in a proper newspaper, not internet rumours or tabloid w***. They didn't have to say exactly what it was (though they're clearly happy to do so a day later) but anything would have been better than nothing. Stupid. Like someone said though, maybe Coloccini didn't want anything made public. With the rumours today that might have had to have changed. Pretty shit that even for something like this people find a reason to slag off the club. Pathetic. Eh, how am I slagging off the club? I just think it was wrong to let this fester all day, it's pretty fucking big news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPalAl Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This is not just about his wife either, they are kids involved not sure how i would feel if my mum was ill half way round the world and my dad was under contract somewhere and couldn't get out of it. Hold on, we are getting a bit carried away here. We don't even know: A) if its true and B)if its anything more than thrush Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Really sad news if this is true. Still can't quite make the connection between this story and San Lorenzo though. They sound psyched at the prospect of getting him, really? with major personal problems right now? If his Dad is at that club, surely they must know of this situation? Right? Their "statements" seem even more strange now in this light. Equally if this is the position and he feels that back home is an altogether better place to be right now, then a vague but firm statement from both Colo and Club could (and probably should) have been made before now to avoid salacious rumours.

Pilko Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If his wife is that ill, football will be a massive distraction to him whether it was at NUFC or San Lozenge. I don't really know what the best solution would be. I'm glad Pardew is 'confident' of sorting it out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place is tough going at the minute mind, I'm more inclined to blame the club for things than give them the unequivocal benefit of the doubt most of the time but the extreme of either viewpoint seems to always be in overdrive currently and it's really shit.

Dave Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/9796970/Newcastle-to-retain-Fabricio-Coloccini-as-captain-as-Alan-Pardew-seeks-to-help-player-battle-homesickness.html Coloccini has made his unhappiness clear in recent weeks and his father revealed last week that his son was keen to go back home to Argentina, with former club San Lorenzo keen to sign him. The centre-back has confirmed he is tempted to return to his homeland, but has not asked for a transfer. At the heart of the issue has been the poor health of Coloccini’s wife, who has already returned to South America, leaving him with their two children at the family home on Tyneside. Pardew is hoping the imminent return on Coloccini’s wife will help ease the pressure and allow the defender to remain at Newcastle, at least until the end of the season. The 30 year-old, who signed from Spain’s Deportivo La Coruna in 2008, will start against Norwich this weekend and will then meet to discuss his future with Pardew and managing director Derek Llambias next week. Even if Coloccini cannot be dissuaded from seeking a move, Newcastle will point out San Lorenzo do not have the money to sign him and, as he only signed a 4½-year contract in March, the club have shown him loyalty in the past. That should ensure he stays until the end of May and Coloccini has already held productive talks with Pardew. San Lorenzo may well want to sign a player who was voted into the PFA Team of the Year last season, but they also recognise they do not have the means to make a credible offer to buy him. That could lead to a loan attempt, although given Coloccini earns £60,000 a week, it is unlikely to appeal to Newcastle, who would almost certainly have to continue paying a large percentage of it and find a replacement. Newcastle only have three specialist centre-backs in the first team squad and one of them, Steven Taylor, has been missing for six weeks with a hamstring injury. Pardew is hoping to sign another in this transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
