Guest Invicta_Toon Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 apparently he even gets to go on holiday after the tournament and will miss the start of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Give over man. Robson was the tw*t for trying to make him quit international football...while at the same time saying he'd take the England job on part-time when Keegan resigned. Do you think when he was at PSV & Barca he ever told Romario & Ronaldo they couldn't go off to play for Brazil? Like sh*te would he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta_Toon Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 so it was Robson forcing him rather than an agreement as part of a new contract? I'm sure he could have found another club that would not have asked him to retire, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 And what right does Robson have to say Solano can only stay if he quits international football? That's b*llocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Solano is added to the Copa America squad. Important for him I think. What are the chances that Viduka ran the Asian Cup by Allardyce before signing? Hope the Aussies do well.

midds Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 he's a twat for going against his word to Sir Bobby on several occasions Vic has a point here. He signed an improved contract based on the fact he'd retired from Internationals and thus he'd be available for more Toon matches. He then signs the contracts and decides he wants to continue playing for Peru. I love the little bloke but he pulled a fast one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invicta_Toon Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 And what right does Robson have to say Solano can only stay if he quits international football? That's b*llocks. it's called a contract negotiation like I said, he was free to go anywhere else that would let him play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Solano packed in International football when he fell out with the manager of Peru, he signed a new contract but decided to play for Peru again after the manager was sacked. Nobby was right and Bobby was wrong on thid one, he had no right asking him to not play for his Country when fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Solano packed in international football whilst playing for us, too. EDIT actually, he packed in playing football whilst playing for us.

But I'm not about to assume that Viduka hid his desire to play for his country from Allardyce until after the ink was dry. Don't think it would've made a difference either way. I'd happy to have him and I assume that Allardyce and most fans are delighted regardless of whether he's retired from internationals or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT EDIT that's a bit harsh, tbh. Well, untrue, in fact. Wasn't he your top scorer with 11 or something, the season before he came to u? Could be wide of the mark with that but i think i can remember him bagging quite a few one season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dev Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Actually Viduka has never retired from international football so I don't know what some of you blokes are on about? Apparantly he decided to retire last week for one day, after signing for newcastle, then changed his mind less than 24 hours later. I think the reason for his near-retirement was that one of his best mates Skoko, who plays for Wigan, got a bit shafted by the national team last year and retired, so dooks was thinking of following him. http://www.smh.com.au/news/football/viduka-nearly-quit-internationals/2007/06/15/1181414474110.html And frankly, a pre-season in the sweltering heat of SE asia is probably going to get him in better shape than one in Newcastle. The only time he's ever been fit anyway is after spells with the national team. I'd think full internationals against the likes of Japan and Korea are going to keep him in better touch than running around against the reserves.
