Dave Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Until we buy someone else, he's our best centre half and we need him. So keeping him content is fine by me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Would've made sense to tear up his existing contract on the basis that he'd play for us this season for nominal wages on a one-year deal. As it stands he's earning massive wages and will walk away in the summer for next to nowt. Amazing that the captain of Newcastle United is going to quit us in the middle of his contract to play for a Mickey Mouse side in a corrupt banana republic and people are lining up to defend him. That's before you even consider how crap and gutless his performances have been. Spot on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's before you even consider how crap and gutless his performances have been. He didn't offer himself the captaincy. He accepted that and signed a 5 year deal before his family fucked off to Argentina, I'm guessing his mindset changed a little bit after that like. I don't like it but I'm not going to go too overboard about it. No matter who has the armband in our side it'll mean very little imo, we haven't got a proper captain.

Why do we need to keep him content though? Personally speaking I think he should be receiving treatment here and reporting to training daily. He's not on holiday and we are still paying his wages after all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm sure there's nothing sinister going on but this is news I didn't want to read/hear especially on the back of the shitstorm that happened last season. Meh, I won't comment on this any further - there's no point really, we can speculate all we want but at the end of the day the speculation will do us no good, we just have to concentrate on more pressing issues, namely the Derby this Sunday. When Colo comes back, that's great but until then we'll have to work with what we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not being one to disbelieve an article, but isn't this the same bloke who claimed Colo had walked out on Newcastle never to return last May time? Not saying Colo isn't out until Crimbo mind...he may well be, just choosing to wait from a few sources first instead of this proven (iirc) shit stirrer.

No idea if it's the same guy, but The Independent certainly has previous for shit stirring around Coloccini. We'll see if this turns out true or not.

Rich Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Aye, Martin Hardy loves a Coloccini story. He's been wrong enough in the past so here's hoping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 One thing's for sure, if this is true, we just can't rely on his fitness anymore. Colo needs to be phased out, MYM needs to come in. I'll probably be in the complete minority here but, for me, Mapou is the best candidate in this squad to take the captaincy, perhaps not right now but in the very near future. He's young but has achieved a lot in his career, leading his side to a Championship, he's a winner. I think if Pardew showed more confidence in MYM, we'd see a more consistent player and generally terrific defender. Oddly enough, I'd partner him with Williamson until January, then buy someone else. Willo can do the basics and is seemingly a good organiser, letting MYM settle in and develop his own style, rather than having to adapt to Colo. Taylor's too stupid to have a defender bedding in alongside him, he's the type that needs his hand holding. It's not ideal but it'd do and would pay huge dividends in the long run, in my opinion.

Ronaldo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'd stick with Taylor and Williamson, then gradually bring Mapou in with Colo fucked. The only thing Williamson has on Taylor is his leadership, and if Mapou is, as you say, the best candidate for captaincy, he won't need to be partnered with a far inferior player for the sake of better organisational skills.
