Just been listening to Hawksby and Jacobs show on talk sport and the interview with Tim Vickery, the highly respected South American football journalist, discussing the Coloccini situation. It was very interesting according to him, there is absolutely no story in Argentina about a compassionate move, rather its purely a desire to join his father who is the recently appointed president of that club for free. Vickery reckons the mags are having their pants pulled down here and Coloccini is using this personal problem angle purely as a smokescreen to make sure that no fee is mentioned. Now, I don't know the full facts but as Vickery lives out there, I'd guess he is fairly close to the truth here and it remains to be seen whether this unfolds in the future. I hope there is nothing more sinister behind this move other than shafting the mags, he will attain hero status if true here on Wearside and if he does shaft them, then this is player power gone completely ridiculous. Wonder if the love will still be forthcoming from the barcodes if he is screwing them over? Good though, isn't it?
There are 2 or 3 very 'credible' stories floating about at the minute as to what the issues are although nothing you haven't heard a 1000 times before concerning footballers but whatever it really is, the player and the club are going to have to make some kind of statement on this very soon or its going to cause mayhem.
"Don't cry for me Argentoona, the truth is i never loved ya"...............back to the land of Fray Bentos Corned Beef, Gauchos and Boleros.
Just to be a pedant - Fray Bentos is in Uruguay, and the bolero is from Spain (though there is also a Cuban form), the Argentinean dance is the tango. Gauchos, for what its worth, can also be found in Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile. He's mad to want to go back to Argentina though, even if he is from there, the country is run a mad woman, the economy is totally bankrupt, the streets of Buenos Aires are covered in rubbish, their currency has devalued 50% in the last couple of years and they have banned all Argentineans from buying dollars or trying to take their money out of the country. He'll be taxed like a fat cow as soon as he lands. Says it all if he really would prefer that situation than playing another match for Newcastle on a bumper contract.
Can you imagine if this was the other way around? Platini/Blatter would be all over it like a rash. South Americans are mental. I hope we report the greasy Latino ****s
This is what I've heard... a) NUFC's captain has smashed in some 17 year old and his wife has left him... seems too easy that one. b) NUFC's manager has been slotting the NUFC's captain's wife, Coloccini has issued a statement to his bosses that if he isn't released from his contract then he will make this story public knowledge. If Ashley and co rip up his contract then he'll keep it zipped. If B is true, how much does Ashley really care about Alan Pardew? A public 10,000 person queue of volleying to the face of Pardew should sort it out, then everyone should be able to move on.
Pardon my ignorance, thanks for the lesson, I actually meant Bolas rather than Boleros' - you missed that one didn't you.
