sturla Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 His previous outcry to escape to San Lorenzo (2013) is probably what is making him disliked now. I don't think anybody has a problem with him leaving this time around. Has had some good years and some bad years. Thanks for the good years! Adiós Colo!

r0cafella Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Same problem as last time though, he's under contract he probably won't leave without being paid off and the club can't San Lorenzo won't be willing to pay for him. Can't see us being thrilled having to go pay him out, and I can't see him going without a pay off honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Full quotes from the interview on this article from The Mag website: Fabricio Coloccini speaking to San Lorenzo AM630: “I want to return to Argentine football. “It is a matter of talking about my departure, I have in mind to return right now. “Priority is San Lorenzo because I am a fan and want to play there again. “I like Pablo Guede (San Lorenzo Manager) as coach. “I understand the fans and we must not delude people, but today there is more chance of returning. “There is always the idea of returning and now I have heard that I could come back soon. “I want to respect the people of Newcastle for everything they gave me. “In 2013 was all very advanced with San Lorenzo but my exit clause was for clubs from Qatar, China, not from Argentina. “My family wants to see me playing in San Lorenzo and that is my great dream, my son Thiago asks me when I will return to play at San Lorenzo. “In 2001, I decided with my heart and went to San Lorenzo (on loan from AC Milan) despite the problems that had been at the club, I was always a fan of San Lorenzo.” - See more at: http://www.themag.co.uk/2016/05/fabricio-coloccini-believes-close-agreeing-return-argentina-newcastle-united/#sthash.v7r31WPr.dpuf As others have said.... See ya! So he had an exit clause in his contract exclusively for clubs from Qatar and China? The money-grabbing f***er. I think he means his exit clause was big so only clubs from China Qatar etc could afford it, not a club from Argentina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 £80,000 a week off the wage bill and a 34 year old gutless liability finally out of the door. Absolute no brainer you really think he'll give up 12 months of £80k a week? would you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'll chip in for his taxi home. He should have been binned a couple of years ago when it first pulled this rubbish about wanting to go home. As it is, he held the club to ransom and got his way. Good player in his day, but in recent times his cowardice has been notable. An awful club captain really, since Nolan was sold.

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Won't be missed and largely the message is good riddance Which is a shame because he has had good spells, such as that 5th placed season when he was immense. I don't think it has helped that he has had to play with crap which highlighted his decline, playing alongside a commanding centre half would have masked his weakness and highlight his strengths Also the main feeling would be his horrific captaincy, the playing side can be somewhat forgiven BUT there is no excuse for being a coward, should have stepped down from the captaincy at the very least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 His discipline is terrible as well, charging all over the pitch and leaving gaps behind. Never understand why he does that, guess he just doesn't trust anyone else or he's trying to hard to set and example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm defending him. Argentina is a lovely place and I also want to return there someday. Sure their policies on the Falkland's are objectionable and there problems with the gaps between the richest and poorest in the country but they are world leaders in cultural influence and their food, wine and tourism industries are fantastic and Buenos Aires is one of the finest cities in the world - deserving its name of the 'City of Fair winds'. It's streets and architecture are reminiscent of spectacular European destinations such as Milan and Paris and shares much of it's colonial and cultural heritage with Italy. Despite our nations differences in the past, it is a welcoming and beautiful country which should top anyone's travel list in South America and indeed the globe. Or are you on about him being a cunt? Oh if so, then aye he's a bit of a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Well past his sell by date, had a couple of good years with us and I'm grateful for that but overstayed his welcome (through no fault of his own). Best news I've had today, hope we let him go now, we really need to as part of the rebuilding process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 cunt sided with Pardew over the whole HBA fiasco as well. could have played a proper captains role and acted as an intermediary between the two for the good of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Let him move on, he past his sell by date a while ago and its not his fault the people managing our transfer policy were stupid enough to not replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 He became pointless the moment we signed Mbemba or even Mbiwa before that. We needed a dominating centre back, instead we've bought smaller players and tried to use Colo as the big defender, something he patently isn't and never has been. He probably realises he's not going to play much next season, it will suit everyone if he retires to Argentina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hope he fucks off this time. Been shit for years now. Will never forget how he wanted to jump ship, as captain, when we were in a relegation fight. Fucking coward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
