Fenham Mag Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 George Caulkin @CaulkinTheTimes Coloccini info I had was as follows: meeting with #Nufc hierarchy & legal team tomorrow. It's delicate, but he's got 3yrs on contract, he's 30 & an asset. Since when do #Nufc give players/money away? Would expect him to be asked to stay for rest of season & reassess. Needs to be handled carefully and with tact, but that seems reasonable to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Only way this could work is if Colo stays for x period, earning zero wages and then buying out the rest of his contract. Even then it doesnt make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Should the club be prepared to cancel his contract, then would it not be reasonable to ask him to stay until we are safe from relegation and the sooner that happens, then the sooner he can leave. Obviously we don't know the reasons behind this (and Colo has always come across as very honourable) but you don't want to set a precedent where players start to come up with reasons to walk out on a contract when they feel like it especially if they are still a valuable asset to the club.

ATB Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Agree. We can´t just release him if it not a extraordinarily situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The easiest way out for him if he really wanted to help his "sick" wife would be to retire from football completely. Can't wait to see how this one pans out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Once his heart is set on leaving he'll do everything in his power to make that happen. Everything? Yeah it's completely in his power to just retire. Forgoing his football career, as he wouldn't be able to play for anyone else, if his circumstances are bad enough he should consider that, I doubt he will though.

Dave Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The BBC have incredibly managed to make Lee Ryder look good, reproducing his Tweet from four hours ago about this. Talks scheduled for tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Really worrying times I'm afraid. Interesting to see what happens here though as MA seems to be adverse to setting precedents and simply cancelling his contract would certainly be a dangerous move (for the club) given the current situation. Hope we can get something in place that suits both parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Someone really should change the title of this thread.

Can't wait to see how this one pans out. Why have you put "sick"? BBC Newcastle were on about this on the radio and the impression given is that she really is sick and it's actually pretty serious but obviously the club have respected it's a private matter and have went public on it.

Shak Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not a massive shock given his age and high wages. Think of the savings if we get rid of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Realistically, we'd get no more than that for him imo. He'll be 31 next week and defenders don't often go for very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 8-10 is about right - if not a touch high (age and position taken into account). It's certainly enough to dissuade the steak munchers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 There's a difference between price and value. Other teams wouldn't spend £10m on him but his value to the team is so much more than that, he's our leader and our best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
