OTF 7295 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Coloccini is not in the Argentina Olympic Squad ???? Their three senior players AFAIK are Riquelme, Pareja and Mascherano. Keegan didn't 'deny' it, he just failed to confirm it - and why would you until it is actually done - this is a big signing, be nice to make a proper announcement.

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 we do always get shafted on fees like. £10m on a defender is pretty steep. does anyone know much about this lad? i suppose it's better that we get ripped off and actually sign some players though than be prudent and stick with our current squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't. You'll always put a negative spin on anything though. Zzzzzzzz tbh. I suppose you were moaning when we paid £9m for Woodgate? No, didn't think so. Weren't you moaning about about Ashley not flashing the cash? Now he has, we've been mugged. I don't know a lot about the lad btw, so I don't know whether we've been mugged or not.

Guest alex Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Anton would probably be about £10m given the ridiculous prices for English players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10849 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Don't know why but I've an odd feeling about this. I think he's going to fit right in, nothing spectacular, but he's going to be a very reliable player for us. I just feel it in my gut. well it's either that or the All Bran.

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 £10m is a lot for a defender. there's no doubt about that. that's not putting a negative spin on it, it's the truth. that's why i was asking if anyone knew anything about him, because for that fee you expect a top draw defender like woodgate. i'm not moaning, i'm chuffed we've finally signed a decent sounding player and am relived that it looks like ashley is prepared to back keegan. but anyone who thinks we don't ususally pay over the odds for players has got their head in the sand.

He's a good player by all accounts. I was a little nasty about him last week only cause I was in a bad mood. He'll turn out better than Woodgate once he gates the pace.

Guest Stevie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 As it was appointed earlier, the Argentinean central defender has been sold to Newcastle United for €11.5 million plus incentives including a participation of Newcastle United in a future Teresa Herrera tournament. The Magpies will also pay the 15% of the transfer that correspond to the player. That is from the Deportivo site. They're not going to lie about the fee are they?? So we pay them 11.5m euro's, and we've agreed to pay the 15% signing on/loyalty fee to Colo another 1.725m euro's. So the total deal we're paying is 13.225m euros. A quick visit to www.xe.com reveals we will pay a total fee of 10.482m quid Deportivo will get 9.2m and that lad gets 1.3m. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Weren't you just arguing it was a lot, even for a top drawer defender Dan?

He is a top drawer centre-half who has been producing in La liga for the last two seasons. Last season, he even managed 4 more goals than Smith. Its not rocket science that he SHOULD fit in.
