Not sure, Just seen it mentioned that it's in the media suite which evidently is unusual and not sure we would hold a press conference when we havent for any of the other signings.

@CaulkinTheTimes: Re Coloccini: have it on good authority San Lorenzo made no direct contact at all with #Nufc. So who were their "long negotiations" with?

 

I'm not surprised at this at all, what would they say if they did call? Give us your captain basically for free?

Around the clock "news" coverage gets to be a bit much sometimes. This story is one of those things I think I'd be better off just learning at the end rather than as it happens and without full info.

 

:thup:

 

I'm so glad SSN isn't on freeview any more.

Honestly man, these fuckers should be punished by FIFA, they've been completely out of order in this whole episode.

I'm hoping that the club haven't brought this up to FIFA yet as they want no potential ill-feeling from Colo for doing so. Hoping they bring it up at the first possible chance they can that doesn't impact Colo's decision.

So Martin Hardy is a lying arsehole then.

 

Don't believe a word this man has to say on the matter from now on, or anything, to get it that far wrong is disgraceful.

 

 

 

How do you know that, man? :lol:

Aye, but our next game is still a few days away and Colo is a professional. What's to say he won't be gone by then? He could be having his last session and saying his goodbyes for all we know. Fact is, this guy obviously has a connection to Colo/Colo's camp, whilst none of us here have. It's foolish in the extreme to start throwing around the 'lying cunts' until this is all cleared up.

I do think there's a major problem with the media trying to predict the news, probably because they want to be first with the scoop in this 24 hour news world. It would be nice if they'd wait for the event to actually happen instead of all these 'looks set to...' articles.

A blog on what's going on with Fabricio Coloccini, Alan Pardew and #Nufc will be free to read for an hour at some stage today.

 

1. Fabricio Coloccini The saga of the day. And the background is this. For quite a long time, the centre-half has been troubled by issues in his personal life. This being Newcastle, there are unsubstantiated rumours in circulation – which is not uncommon – but he has told the club that his discontent is connected to his wife being unwell, unhappy and matters related to do with that. He has a young family.

 

As a consequence, Coloccini has informed Newcastle that he wishes to leave this month. Simultaneously, San Lorenzo, an Argentinian club that the defender played for, briefly, and for whom Osvaldo, his father, now works for, have conducted a very public courtship of him.

 

They have spoken openly about not being able to afford a fee for Coloccini, but that they could pay him a decent wage if Newcastle rescinded his contract.

 

Rescinding contracts is not the Newcastle model for doing business; it is about self-sufficiency. Coloccini only signed a new four-year extension in March (if his issues stretch back before that, as is believed, why did he do that?), and, at 31, he remains an asset.

 

On the open market, he would be worth a chunk of money and Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias are simply not prepared to write that off. Why should they?

 

In private, Pardew has been hugely supportive of Coloccini, urging him not to throw his career away, to remain on Tyneside until the end of the season, assist his team-mates in avoiding relegation and then reassess his options. The club, meanwhile, have brought in their lawyers to explain the contractual situation, to demonstrate he cannot simply walk. And yet he still wants to go.

 

Amid all this, San Lorenzo have made no direct contact with Newcastle. None whatsoever. So when they announced on Wednesday that after “long negotiations” they had not been able to secure Coloccini’s signature and were now moving on, it is reasonable to ask who, precisely, those long negotiations have been with. It is fair to say that Newcastle are not impressed by their behaviour.

 

So where do things stand now? On a knife-edge. Or a precipice. Or some other cliché. It remains extremely delicate. Coloccini has reported for training today, but whether he will be available, still here or in a suitable frame of mind for Newcastle’s critical match at Aston Villa next week is, at the time of writing, difficult to predict. And that, of course, would be another concern.

 

Having just signed a desperately-required centre-half in Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Newcastle and Pardew would find themselves back to square one, because they insist that they have not been preparing for Coloccini’s departure. If he goes AWOL, they will pursue the matter as far as it can be pursued. The options, therefore, are he leaves and they chase him legally, he buys out his contract, or he stays.
