Guest bimpy474 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not sure what the backer would get out of it. Colo's presence in selling their product, if say it's a backer who sells things back in Argentina maybe ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I read somewhere yesterday that there was a local businessman who they were hoping would loan them the money but it would take the club a long time to pay him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I read somewhere yesterday that there was a local businessman who they were hoping would loan them the money but it would take the club a long time to pay him back. Yeah - I read that they now had a backer in place too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If he's off we will get Mbiwa and Williamson instead of Colo and Williamson. We will need two CBs due to Taylor's unreliability but I very much doubt that is going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 £3m each from third party, San Lorenzo and Colo himself perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Colo out and Mbwia in isn't the worst thing to happen to us (if both go through) We were worried about replacing his quality, from reports this lad is the biz and a lot younger. Think Cabaye will make a better captain as well. As soon as the MBwia interest took a sharp turn upwards and contract reports of £60kpw it was only ever going to be one in one out. Lets hope we've told him he goes nowhere unless we get a replacement, and even after that we want paying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Looks like he is going. Not many clubs lose their best defender and best forward and do well. Hope the replacements are good... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 £3m each from third party, San Lorenzo and Colo himself perhaps? More like £2m each. The £8-10m will just be Ashley's starting position. I reckon we'll sell for £5-6m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but this lad is stepping into a relegation battle and may need time to settle where as Colo has shit loads of experience. He has to be here until may im afraid.

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I know this might not make sense, but i hoping that if Colo goes now it might mean someone else stepping up and rallying the players. No disrespect to Colo but as he wants to go then surely that must be having an effect on his teammates. It's natural for a team to look up to their skipper, and right now they see a man not committed to the club or them. Just clutching at straws like. I don't think the horrible show we're watching every week is largely due to Colo's wanting to leave, it can't be. But you've got a point there though.

I wasn't thinking that way mate, i put the way we have been playing down to the idiot manager. I just think now, if the Captain was to get the players together, you really want it to be someone who isn't itching to leave. Colo can't be faulted for effort, he has played fine, it's behind the scenes i'm more aiming at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not sure what the backer would get out of it. Did Newcastle Brown Ale not help pay for Keegan when he came? Sure I've read that somewhere, and their brand was plastered everywhere on any photos I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see the club put their foot down on this. We need Colo desperately. Tell him he can go at the end of the season. As TT says, though, the writing is pretty much on the wall if rumours of the 60k contract for M'Biwa are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not sounding too good. If the Mbiwa transfer goes through by all accounts he is the real deal, but it still means Williamson is getting a game. We could have Thiago Silva next to him and I still wouldn't be confident.

NG32 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 We can't afford to lose Colo even if we sign Mbiwa. Yep, we might be able to striker a deal, Colo sees the season out and then we sell him at a lower price in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/5MjNh8w.png A backer? Someone who'll stump up the cash on behalf of San Lorenzo presumably. That's what I thought, but who? Erm...Were Ryder and Douglas going to just toss it out like there? Thought talks were to happen and things were still up in air...his tweet makes this sound way more like its decided already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
