Mole_Toonfan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 No way would we bring in another centre half from outside the Premiership. Two new centre halves is asking for trouble. If Douglas is still out of contract in the summer (was he ever?) can see that happening maybe. Taylor and Mbwia is an option if we get another CH in before the window shuts. Its a pretty great option if Taylor can stay fit but how likely is that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just can't buy the falling out with AP thing tbf. I mean he's on the verge of fucking up the rest of his career here, what, on the back of a difference of opinion? Just can't see it. Gutted :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Douglas is still out of contract in the summer (was he ever?) can see that happening maybe. Get a pre-contract sorted with him now, Douglas is supern and the main reason why Twente have kept the most clean sheets in thier league this season.. Colo is fkn shafting us Mbiwa & Douglas is probably as good as its going to get for us. They should compliment each other well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ledley king didnt train in the last few years of his career. Would just play on weekends. If Colo's problem was so bad then he could have gone home during the week and come back for games. Or just be given time off in general but he hasn't. None of this makes sense.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 must be family related, whatever it may be...family or health, literally no other reasonable explanation I'm starting to question that tbh. ok how so? what are the other options in this scenario? he wants to leave to go to another club for less money for homesickness perhaps (lived outside of argentine most of adult life btw)? ok, maybe he's the first footballer in history in history to want that but it's unlikely...once you skip that step what's left?

GM Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Weird shit going on here. Thinking back to the rumblings weeks ago about a split in the camp, the fact Colo's form has taken a bit of a dip lately, questions about just how successful has he been as captain lately and it makes me wonder how long there's been something rotting away here...and what's caused it all? It's like the storyline of Goal! has been set into reverse gear? The pressure's really on MYM now to settle in quickly. We may have spent a lot in this window, but there's not much time left for it all to gel together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If it was serious or family-related he'd already be gone. The club wouldn't have dragged out negotiations and forced San Lorenzo to walk away. Yet he feels its serious enough to go AWOL over. Can't believe this is still dragging on.

Raconteur Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 not jumping in and judging on this, one thing i will say though is if i was a professional footballer in the top league who needed to leave and go home for deeply personal reasons there isn't an owner in the entire division, indeed perhaps the world, i could think would be worse to deal with than mike ashley That's may well be true - Ashley would certainly be the type to play hardball. But in this case I don't think it's the least bit unreasonable to allow him to go but hold onto his registration until his contract expires. There's also a case for "fining" him for not fulfilling his contract (ie not paying his wages) on top of holding onto his registration. In these days of player power, though, you can be sure the likes of FIFA and FIFPro will be lining up to support the case of poor, unfortunate (Not-So-)Fab(-Anymore). You'd like to think that Ashley would be holding the higher cards, and as you say, he is least likely to fold. I guess we'll find out tomorrow...

Ashley17 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Got to be something to do with the fall out between Colo and Pardew before QPR IMO. Whether it was related to the family stuff is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. It's well documented he wants to return home, San Lorenzo the only club in for him, Dad attempting to instigate the whole issue. It's still a severe domestic case imo.

Interpolic Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Fallout with manager seems the only situation I can think of, but that doesn't excuse it in the slightest. Completely unprofessional. What if turns out that Pardew shat in Coloccini's hair spray? Would be bang out of order from Pardew, if it's true then it changes everything.

If he wants to retire so be it, but he doesn't play or earn from football again. Anything else is a total breach of contract, something FIFA will certainly not side with the player on, it'll open a huge can of worms, they'd rather keep everything the same. Chelsea sued mutu for £9m for failing a drugs tests, and won, colo decides he wants to walk out of the club under contract and play for someone else then the outcome is simple, it's going to cost him either now or later through the courts.
