yeah its time to strip colo of the captainsy, play saylor and colo to bench it might make him see sense, possibly need to buy cover

Just read what Colo had to say to San Lorenzo and in a letter posted on there twitter account and think it is hugely disrespectful to NUFC as a club and the fans!
How were they supporting him by trying to get for nothing if they were really supporting his decision they would of moved heaven and earth to raise the funds to purchase him, I'm sorry about the trouble he is having at home but he has a contract to honour and we have always been behind him made him our captain and think he's been very disrespectful in how he's gone about things. If there was just an explanation or some gratitude but nothing to us just to the team who tried to poach him, he obviously doesn't want to be here so in my eyes should be stripped of the captaincy and I know it may dishearten the team but his heart just won't be in it reading what he's had to say. That's my opinion every1 else's welcome.

Geordie Mitch

Think fifa should be looking at this as it is blatant tapping up, and if he was a bit unsettled before, he's certainly unsettled now. got to remember he's still on a very good contract and we should be looking for a fee in the summer if he still wants to go.

Just get rid of him in my eyes he dnt want to be there dnt want to play for our club everyone supports him and he's been so disrespectful

I think he was referring to the fact they were positioned to move their budget around to accomodate his wages and help his family in general. Props to Pardew, he's handling it as well as anybody could. It's deffinately against fifa regulations. In the summer he'll be able to buy himself out of his contract and I suspect he will, I just hope he can keep his mind on this season and pass on a few pointers to Mbiwa regarding adapting to English football in the meantime.

I'm very cross if it's true, he might as well spit in our face.

I bet a lot of clubs would be nice to him and his family if they reckoned they could get a 7m quid asset. Bad that he has personal problems but what the f-ck have San Lorenzo's Oil actually done? I bet Pards and the board are willing to move hell and high water to accommodate him in his hour of need.

Every1s saying their sorry he's got personal probs.mebys he should of stayed away from the 22yr old lass then.then he wouldn't have personal problems.his own fault.nee sympathy

I think San Lorenzo could have done more to land Colo.

How about San Lorenzo and Newcastle coming to an agreement on Value, offering Newcastle a player of similar value that they produce in the future.

Colo goes now but in a season or two we get one of their up and coming players. At least it would have something... anything at all wold be better than giving us nothing.

They obviously did not want him as badly as they made out.

Newcastle United, the northern Arsenal.

, we will always be Newcastle United and as long as every player gives 100% and wears the shirt with pride I couldn't give a toss what outsiders call us

Northern arsenal lol yeah you both never win a trophy.

NEVER ? arsenal recent maybe but NEVER ? Fool,

Young Ince doing well would like us to make a bid.

26 Jan 2013 16:38:05
Does any1 else think we should just sell colo.he doesn't want to be here.we should just cash in on him and look for a replacement.a want him to stay but if his hearts not in it, he's got going to be given 100%

But the only team hel go to can't afford him so we can't sell him. I think we will give 100% anyway, he loves the club and is a real class act as a man and a footballer

He, has been through a bad time think he will see out his contract with us, we all think the world of him, just a gut feeling.

He is being sold in the summer don't you read the script

Yes but a lot of water can run under the bridge before the summer.

If he really respected us he wouldn't of wrote that letter imo.

Well, its been a very successful transfer window, and i'm very upbeat for villa. But what would cap it off, would be to bring in aubameyang or van wolfswinkel. I reckon next season we can go back to challenging top 7 again! It's quite annoying though when people are criticising us for dipping into the french market all the time, i've already posted the amount of gems we've got so I won't go over them again. do you think i'm right Ed, that newcastle have done good business with bargains like mbiwa, cabaye and HBA, sissoko? Coz when you have a lot of french players, it raises morale and helps the team gel better, so its more like a whole group of 10 newcastle players going out to a restaurant for a bite rather than just 2 or 3 at a time. Do you think i'm right Ed?
Geordie Moses {Ed001's Note - the only problem I could see, would be if they don't integrate well with the players from other countries. So long as the club make sure they do things such as all sit mixed up at meal times, and that everyone has to speak English, I think it is a plus having lots of the same nationality. If they aren't integrated, you end up with the issues that Houllier's Liverpool suffered, lots of little cliques with no mingling. That showed on the pitch, with performances becoming disjointed.}

Agree Ed, the players need guidelines set out and to be told that English is the first choice language.

Right ok the french lads going to learn english why you only got 2 ?

Football the beutiful game it don't matter what language you speak, put the ball in the back of the net ok....

Dear Toon Fans,
We couldn't have asked for much more than this, we still might get another striker. Yes the window is still open and anything could happen but no one would have imagined 5 players who can go straight into the team (Debuchy, Sissoko) or push the current 1st teamers hard, coming into toon.

We got what we wanted, albeit 6 months too late, but we got it, lets get behind the team and the manager, starting at Villa on Tuesday. With a decent run of results, we could push top 10 from here.

We have not really got what we wanted. In the summer we desperately wanted another striker and we did not get it. Now Ba has left so that meant we needed two more strikers and we have only got Gouffran. I truly believe we need to fill that opening and bring in a really hot young striker like Aubayemang, he would do great for us. We have 131 hours left of this window and I still hope for Ashley to cash out the 12 mills St Etienne wants...

Can I sit on the fence and agree with both posts? (I know, spelks in my arse). I'd love to see a top-class striker in, if only for the possibility of Cisse getting injured, but with Cabaye and Sissoko driving on from midfield, perhaps Cisse will get better service and/or more goals will come from midfield? And Gouffran is an unknown quantity. What I wanted more than anything else was to see the back of Simpson and Willo, who were the source of 90% of the 'hoofball'.

Kabe will want to join Newcastle when reading get relagated

Well said the fa who do fa should look at his tweets if it had been a toon player we would be pulled over the coals

26 Jan 2013 10:04:15
cisse not firing on all cylinders wake him up go and get Ricky van Wolfswinkel. before you regret it. haway the lads.

25 Jan 2013 23:48:37
pardew said gouffran is not a replacement for ba. Is there any strikers we are linked with ed? {Ed013's Note - Only Graham and Becchio that I have heard of}

Didn't we bid for Aubayemang Ed? And what about Rikky from Sporting? Becchio I have read no connections at all about and Graham will not come to NUFC and I do not want him. I want a younger and better striker! {Ed013's Note - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was a target, but I believe that interest has gone cold at the minute. There is a lot of of interest with Rikky and Newcastle are one of the clubs looking}

I cannot see us being linked with Becchio, he knows where the back of the net is but he is a bit rough around the edges.
