Wilson Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I bet the original Independent story came from Southgate, the s*** at penalties bent nosed smoggy c***. Well, hope she get's well if that is the case and really can't hold it against him if he does leave for that reason. Playing fifa, always keep him in my team but it's making me think of the whole situation, bit depressing tbh. Fuckin football eh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 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 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. Aye, right. We'd let our captain play for someone else and continue to pay a portion of his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If he's facing a serious personal crisis, we have to face the fact that he won't perform particularly well on the football field anyway. Some characters can block these things out of their minds for periods, but others find it very difficult. I suspect Colo is in the latter group. As for the idea of the club or whoever putting out a statement, that's not feasible. The details aren't any of our business, and a vague statement would do more harm than good.

Spider Jerusalem Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Who's putting out the comments that he's unhappy / wife is poorly into the public domain though. The club is unable to comment, but some shadow figure can? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thought the first round of shitey rumours doing the rounds seemed totally out of character. Not going to say much until we know more but if this is all true then we can only wish him and his family well, some things are a hell of a lot more important than the footy.

That's true, but my point is similar to colinmk's above. He's a human being, and we have to do right by him as a human being. For me, there's a practical dimension to it, as well as a moral one. Pleading and pressuring him to stay gives the message all round that we're weak and scared and can't do without him. If we let him go and face up to the uncertain future quickly, that feels like a braver and more positive move. That's apart from the assessment of whether he as an individual is going to be able to play at his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt uncertain or positive about it, like. We'll not replace him or replace him with rubbish and go down. Yay us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If it is something as serious as this then there's nothing any one can do. As mad and passionate about football as I, like everyone on here is, it does highlight that some things are more important. My best wishes to Mrs Coloccini, and for a speedy recovery. And as Tooj said, lets hope/expect that our travelling support will give him a great reception tomorrow. I cant imagine I'll see a better defender than him in my time watching NUFC. Such a natural.

Pilko Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 It's a dangerous game but I wonder if Pardew might offer Colo leave to South America in-between games if there's ever a gap long enough, and when we're mathematically safe from danger he might be allowed to go as soon as that happens?

That's apart from the assessment of whether he as an individual is going to be able to play at his best. That's fair. Just hope we can strike an agreeable outcome for all parties on it if the situation is as serious as is being suggested. Still not entirely satisfied with the lack of clarity as the San Lorenzo statements don't seem to "fit" with all of this. Agreed also that forcing someone to play wouldn't be the "right" thing to do. I know it pails into insignificance but the timing is absolutely chronic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Horrible news if his wife is ill Perhaps there can be a compromise where he stays here for a few games, before letting him go home for the rest of the season. Maybe loan another centre back to temporarily fill the gap. Hope he gets a fantastic reception from our lot tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Show him our support, with the message "please come back afterwards" tomorrow. Let him go by loaning him to San Lorenzo. Something has to be done in humanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
