Christmas Tree 4725 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Associates close to Coloccini’s represen- tatives claim a fee of £3.5m to cover his transfer has been discussed to secure his passage back to South America Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2013/01/22/decision-day-looming-for-united-skipper-coloccini-72703-32650155/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz2IhWBa25G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Have San Lorenzo got no international quality players that could come the other way? Their number 9 was on loan at Everton for a while I see, but only scored 1 in 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Let's face it, we're going to lose our best player and get fuck all in the process! Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Wonder if this could lead to owt significant. European courts & Bosman stylee. If i find a job I like better than my current one I give 4 weeks notice and I'm away. Irrespective of my employers wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ashley's whole buy cheap and sell for a profit is fucking mockery if they let Colo go for anything less than what he's really worth. And every time they wave their "business model" in the fans face you know it's nothing more than a lie to justify a lack of investment in the team.

If they let Colo do it, Ben Arfa will go on strike the moment he wants out and so on and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The club have to drive a hard bargain here like. We hold all the cards, and if they let him go quickly and on the cheap then it gives the impression that they've rolled over and had their belly tickled.

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He was only loaned to San Lorenzo for 19 games when he played for Milan. This whole 'my club' thing is a load of shite. Boca was his first club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 31 years old and signed a new 4 year deal las year, we must get between £4-5 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Take from it what you will, but Tim Vickery who I always find to be on the ball says it's fuck all to do with any illness to his wife etc but all to do with his dad getting voted in as part of the new board at San Lorenzo then massively unsettling Colo once in.

sammynb 3355 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 did he not support san lorenzo though ? and his da played for them or whatever. As SLP just said, his father is currently part of their coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I would think we hold very few cards in the reality of the law. If he was simply to up and leave then it would be left to a long drawn out international legal battle. Sure we could stop him from playing but that wouldnt help us. Eventually lawyers would agree a settlement fee, they would take a big cut and everyone would move on. Very sensible to try and settle it now but very wrong to think we can play hard ball here.

He should at least see out the season. Not exactly a lot to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He should at least see out the season. Not exactly a lot to ask. I dont disagree. Problem is he has already made it clear he has no intention of doing that. If its a case that his personal problem is so bad that its us or his wife, then he is clearly just going to fuck off. The difference between what we can get now through these discussions and what we could get following a lengthy legal battle, would probably not be worth it.

Toonpack 9422 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 i'd say there's some sort of non compete clause that if you back out of a contract you can't work in that industry for x-amount of time, which is normally what stops normal folk dumping one contract for another Have that in my game, but it's unenforceable in law I am told, and no-one has tried to enforce it, even though I know folks have broken that clause. In football NUFC will hold his FIFA registration for the duration of the contract (or until they see fit to release it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they let Colo do it, Ben Arfa will go on strike the moment he wants out and so on and so on. Exactly. Before Bosman it was inconceivable that a top player could walk away from his club with no compensation paid in any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm sure it's not going to go well for us in any respect. They'll probably offer a fraction of what he's worth now or we take it legal to get more during which time he can't play for them and wont play for us. Either way we'll be our captain down without the funds to adequately replace him. Given that and what impact allowing a player to just fuck off for a fraction of what he's worth will have down the line (ie players fucking off whenever they fancy), I'd be telling them right where to go! Won't help us in our battle to stay in the division but let players and other clubs wanting to fuck us over that we're not just going to bend over and take it. This is assuming his wife really isn't ill which I have to say I have doubts that she is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened when we signed Jonas, His old club Majorca wouldn't release his because they thought they were owed money from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and honestly they are perfectly within their right to do what City did with Tevez when he fucked off without permission, fine him his wages for non performance. If they let him fuck off then, for all Dekka's "we are horrible cunts" patter they are nothing more than a joke and everything they have done to the club is really just to disenfranchise the supporters. And then there is Coloccini's lack of respect to those supporters who cheer and chant his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Aye if there's nothing in the wife thing then he's just being a total twat. Regardless of how good he's been for us in the past this would totally tarnish his memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
