:lol: Righteo then.

 

don't know what that means, that i'm wrong or looking at it in the wrong way?

 

I just don't think anyone has a clue mate, there's no way anyone can say with any degree of certainty he'll be in our side until the end of the season. Personally I think the signs are bad, I don't think it matters that much whether we try to keep him here against his will or not. We'll see.

Didn't some1 mention that Argie clubs can sign Argentine players any time, effectively no transfer window for them. Guess a compromise can be discussed in that Colo be allowed to leave on loan when we are safe from relegation. He'll be good enough for San Lorenzo now or later whether they their 2nd choice CB.

Stifler did, so although that may be the case (I don't know personally) I would certainly research the subject further.

i see, personally don't think ashley will give 2 fucks about his personal life...if there's no-one to pay money for him or we don't get a direct replacement in as a swap i don't think he'll be going anywhere

 

i'm choosing to look at it from that perspective i suppose, the alternative being ashley lets our best CB and captain go for peanuts because he's unhappy and the millions of pounds it'd take to replace him would come from ashley's/the clubs pockets

 

it's not very likely is it?

I don't think it's that likely he'll stay here and play, never mind play well, if this stuff is true and he wants away. Suspect there'll be some kind of compromise, possibly temporary.

We're all guessing though, admittedly. Just saying Ashley can't really necessarily play his usual hard ball when a player can just say "fuck it then, I'm off home and I'm not playing". For that reason alone, he needs to play it smarter than that.

If he really needs to go home I think best solution would be to just let him go (not paying wages for the time he's off) and re-evaluate the situation in the summer. Little break from football can't hurt in a situation like this. I'll be mad if San Lorenzo gains something from this.

As mentioned the best thing to do would be to give him a leave of absence until his wife is feeling better as if his wife really is in a bad way I doubt hell want to play for San Lorenzo every week even if its easier than here. He's done nothing but give his best for us so if his wife really is ill I think we should do all to accommodate him here, next to his wife it's only football.

good call pata, maybe if all goes well he could come back and help us get promoted

 

Okay, let's just give him to San Lorenzo.

 

Its like the falklands, they think its their right to have him. Cant give a player away for free no matter the circumstance, he could always take unpaid if he really needs to go home. Hope he doesn't though, dont fancy prospect of rest of season without him

Assuming that there is some grave health concern, i think that the club should go out and tell Alex Ferguson, Roberto Mancini , Rafael Benitez, Wenger, Villas Boas, AC Milan, Barcelona what it is. I am sure if Colo does need to go back to Argentina for the season one of these will help us.

I'd rather give him the rest of the season off with a view to him coming back than lose him completely like, that would involve buying another player though.

 

Which wouldn't be so bad obviously. The problem is there is no way we would get two, so if/when Taylor is injured again it's back to square one except this time with a defender trying to find his feed in the team/league in place of Colo. Very worrying indeed.

there are two realsitic  options (if this isn't all just a re-hash of other stories cobbled together though it does seem more substantial)....

 

loan till the summer to san lorenzo during which time he only picks up what they can afford to pay, after which it'll be reviewed.

 

he's told the club will do anything within reason to help him and his family but we won't let him swan off to another club without fair recompense (not even necessarily full market value). i very much doubt he'd ever have to work again to live a good life so if he is that desperate to go back then retire from the professional game.

If we were to loan Lescott, for example, until May, I wouldn't be too against that. Still need another centre-back on top of that though.

Really hope it's nothing too serious with Colo's wife like.

 

Deserves a lot of support today... maybe changing the words of his song to "Best wishes to your wife" might be nice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Followed by a resounding chorus of East 17 Stay Now!

 

Today?
