Ste Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Good news. Hope a club that can afford him that are closer to home for him don't come in for him though. This could get nasty if he decides he wants to strike or act unprofessionally, but I don't think he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm quietly confident that we'll keep him - for some reason I just think he's going to stay. Hope so at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 This is great news, sadly not ideal for Colo, but I believe by his body language he is happy here. Must be a bad situation for him and his family, whatever is happening. He is pivotal for next season. If not only for allowing our younger defence to grow and learn from him. We certainly née him on the pitch too. I hope he feels the fans love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Lucky for us there is bugger all money in Argentinian football. Be 'like a new signing' if we keep him for next season. Better not be one of our two signings Wouldn't be surprised. Don't think we'll buy a defender unless he goes thats for sure. I think Pearce from reading is a distinct possibility, with Williamson bein moved on. Another year then maybe the likes of streete, good,mbabu and tavernier might occupy a spot or two in out main squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 An upgrade for Williamson would be good. Strikers have to be priority though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as its a Williamson replacement and we sort out the lack of goals and width in the team too i have no problem at all with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I don't think we need another centre half if Coloccini stays, at all. We need 2 or 3 players that can play up front or wide though and that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 They probably want Colo to do his part and kick up a fuss so they can get him for nothing. We haven't heard the last of this but hopefully we can keep him. I had already written him off as gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It'll be interesting to see who we sign this summer actually, if we buy 2 left backs and 2 central midfielders because they were good value I'll be spitting blood. The needs of the team need to come first possibly at the expense of a few extra million quid, and the needs of the team are to make us less toothless going forward.

Not too arsed if we don't buy a defender. An upgrade on Willo wouldn't be bad but few are likely to move to be 4th choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If Colo stays I wouldn't mind seeing another CB in the 20-23 age range come in. I'm not sure how much progress Good and Streete have made but probably not enough to be considered 4th string. Obviously there are other positions we need to concentrate on more, but it would be nice to have someone developing. With Saylor's injury history I have no doubt that the 4th centerback will end up playing more than a few games at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Pearce is just 24 right? Correct. Is he any good though? Don't like to buy players from the relegated clubs, especially a defender from the side that gave up the most goals in the league. If he's free he can't hurt I suppose.

toontownman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I haven't seen him play too much tbh.. Would certainly worry me too. Liverpool and us apparently rate him though. Provided he has a turn of pace he is probably better than Williamson, club captain too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Pearce didn't play in the second half or so of their season because he wouldn't sign a new contract, iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
