Mole_Toonfan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Can only assume it's to try and get a transfer fee for him Is probably that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's only one extra year you know. His contract runs for 2 years with an option of a third. He should be getting phased out, not having a contract extension. He's 34 years old and we should be replacing him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Can only assume it's to try and get a transfer fee for him Is probably that. We couldn't get anyone to pay for him when he had one year left, who the fuck is going to pay for him now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So next summer... Mbemba Coloccini Lascelles. We're still only going to be buying 1 CB next summer instead of 2-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't get anyone to pay for him when he had one year left, who the f*** is going to pay for him now? They won't but that's why it's been structured for one more year with an option for another, to try and make sure we can get something for him instead of nothing. It won't work like that obviously but the club will see it that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree really, but if we're not buying anyone he could form a decent partnership with Mbemba for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 He's the best defender we've had in the last decade and people want him out ;D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 We couldn't get anyone to pay for him when he had one year left, who the f*** is going to pay for him now? Maybe we've found a few additional birth certificates for him and we're going to pass him off as being in his 20's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 We'll have to see how Lascelles comes along. Not that bad a situation tbh. It's the Steven Taylor contract extension that is going to have people fuming on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 He's 33 FFS. John Terry is 34 and showing no signs of slowing down! If anything he was probably better than ever last season. NOT saying Colo is in his league at all, the similarities stop there. However, you never know under McClaren, he might play a lot better this season. Personally can see him doing very well alongside Mbemba. As long as Williamson is 5th choice behind Dummett and Taylor (in that order) I don't really care. Given their prudent financial stance, I am sure the deal is more aligned to pay and playn anyway so no issues from my perspective if this is the case.

Mick Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 He's the best defender we've had in the last decade and people want him out ;D He's not as good as he was and he's picking up injures that are probably only going to become worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Good point Dan. The guy definitely doesn't look like his athleticism is the thing letting him down, and he's never injured. Think Mbemba will help him massively, and it could work out really well. Let's see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Wait, what?! New contract?! Why? Well, we are finally going to put an aggressive and athletic centre back beside him, so let's see. Should make his like a lot easier, and hopefully get his performances back up. God help us. He's still our best CB, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So next summer... Mbemba Coloccini Lascelles. We're still only going to be buying 1 CB next summer instead of 2-3. Which would be fine if it was gonna be a fucking good one. We'll probably end up with Mariappa finally or some useless squad filler of his ilk.

St1pe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Awful decision. He's been a terrible captain over the past season or so, openly attempted to leave on a number of occasions and his form on the pitch has been dreadful. We really needed a fresh set of cb's and a new leader on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hilarious decision. Thought Colo would go to San Lorenzo when his contract ran out actually. I do think people overestimate the role of captain though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
