There is news coming through from the Argentine media, that Newcastle are to cancel Fabricio Coloccini’s contract tomorrow.
Fab Coloccini – will Newcastle cancel Argentine’s contract – surely not!
That presumably means that Coloccini can now get his wish and join San Lorenzo, where his father works, but we caution that the news is a bit sketchy but there are a couple of reports saying that Newcastle will indeed cancel Coloccini’s contract and he can leave when they meet with him tomorrow.
One of the reports is in Argentina’s biggest selling daily newspaper, Clarin, which is reporting Newcastle will cancel Coloccini’s contract on Wednesday.
So where do Newcastle go from here with Colo and Demba Ba having left in January?
However it is not clear whether the report is something the Argentina media are hoping for, or whether it is actual real news. We have to think it’s the former, but we are expecting a definitive decision in the next day or two.
We have a hard job believing that Newcastle would do this – why would they want to let Colo go for nothing – when they can get £5M for him in the summer?
And if this is true it will be yet another bombshell to hit Newcastle in January – say it aint so!

Comment #81The only reason this is so demoralizing is because the club isn’t talking to us.
Even a quick ‘don’t worry we have other targets, Remy was just one line of inquiry’ and we’d all feel much better. But nothing!

Comment #84Sage – My thoughts exactly.
My honest opinion now is that the ‘plan’ went out of the window as soon as the fans turned on the fat lad. Now the plan is to keep us ticking over milking the TV money, extra publicity for sportdirect until a sizable offer comes in for the club and he can sell on at a profit.
Anyone disagree with that?

Comment #85I’d be happy to see Danny Graham come in.
If Colo goes we need to buy two CB’s, one needs to be a real leader. I don’t know the European players too well but Lescott would do a job, paired with a younger CB.
Jonas needs to be moved on. I’ve never been a fan but his workrate is excellent and hard to criticise. It’s the end product that is always missing.

Comment #86I get the feeling from most of the fans but lets indeed see whats happening at the end of the day.
There are plenty good CB all over and a whole lot better than Willo thats for sure. I do believe we need a real smart signing and fast.
I also believe if we fail to bring in serious targets now and we miraculously survive the season Ash needs to sell this club. Fans need to storm his house cause some trouble because this club is far to big for this kind of treatment.

Comment #88Lads everyone needs to calm down. If Remy off to QPR so what, says more about him than us! Colo won’t be let out of his contract this is Ashley your talking about he’ll want his coin at the end of day. Santon is settled and getting better, Debuchy is going to be solid he gave Williamson some excellent cover against norwich, something simpson has never done bar fluking a few goalline clearances. We’re in the market if we get players in good and well, if not so be it get behind the players we have for rest of the season. We still have serious quality in the squad just need a win for the confidence, and it is confidence you can see it. Have faith it will come. Marveaux’s form is excellent and allied to that when Benny and Cabs are back fully fit they’ll show the spark that we all crave and kick on from there because those guys are world class. Relax its silly season the london press have a field day with us, react by roaring the team to victory this weekend. Negativity is a virus don’t spread it!

Comment #89Danny Graham’s not good enough for us. I’d prefer us to play Xisco. He has got a good record at under 21 level in did well for Deportivo. Definitely better than Graham.

Now to my main point that sends me radge on here….. What the hell is the Epl? Anyone born within spitting distance of the Tyne would never call it the Epl…….even if they moved away from the Toon at one day old!!!!!! So I reckon the vast majority aren’t Geordies! Correct me if I’m wrong. IT’S THE PREMIER LEAGUE OR PL. Nuff said. SORT IT OOT

Comment #96Christ it must be serious with the colo situation if we are going to cancel a contract? Family in earthquake/tsunami??? Leaves us so short and willio comin out smellin of roses again! Jesus!
We can call the shots most of the time when selling The AP deal was amazing, dembas not as much? Concerning bringing players in we have to go the way of the out of contract/clause route and we have had some fantastic deals over the last 3 years, the remy deal as the luke de jong deal and ruiz deals did not go our way, maybe in this way of doing business you win some you loose some, one thing for sure we have to start winning some more and bringing quality in and right now at this second, our prem survival depends on it.

Comment #99Everyone should just wait before they start having a go at the club, after all if Collo does leave tomorrow, I cannot see the club not investing heavily in the squad, it would be embarresing and demorilising for everyone associated with Newcastle United. For all Ashley isnt the best owner that we could wish for I cannot see him sitting back and watching us go down. He will invest in the squad just give him time. If Collo goes then all we need is a CB and 2 ST and we’ll get through the season alright bu then we must make sure that there is no repeat of this summers antic and invest heavily!

Comment #103Every good player gets an injury,2 points from the relegation zone, demba ba leaves, loic remy picks the baggy eyed twat and his pimp over us, coloccini now getting a free pass to Argentina. WHAT THE F is going on? Are we turning into a complete laughing stock or what, to lose out on a player because he is a greedy twat is one thing but to let our captain go free is a joke, lets just hope this is a windup from the argies, but there is no smoke without fire, the world of football is really working against us this season

Comment #105Hebburn,
He’s had over five years to invest in the squad, we’re still waiting. All he’s spent is bits of the Carroll money.
No yearly transfer warchest.
He’s trying to spend as little as possible.
He’s not building anything.

Comment #107Geordie 1892
I used to think Ashley wanted the best for the club but wanted to build slowly and I was happy for that…why rush, we have been waiting for years and years haha.
But the last few windows have made me think he wants us to break even only, be in prem league and be an attractive club to buy for good money off somebody.
But I’ll reserve judgement til after this window and maybe next summer too.
It’s hard to judge if you don’t know and I don’t think any of us here do know big mike

You say give ashley time if you havent noticed we are sitting 2 points of the bottom 3 and time is running out so i dont want to give him shit time. He should get off his fat arse and start getting players in. You say we need 2-3 players we all know that if you havent been watching the transfer window let me remind you where we are. 1 player in 15 days gone.

Comment #110Hatem’s better than Messi (nice name btw)
Problem is he has no need to go anywhere, would you? He’s got a nice little earner up north providing he keeps us in the prem every year.
I may not know the full ins and outs of the clubs finances but seems to me like he can make a fortune of us by simply keeping us in the prem. Why would he want to take us to the next level? Risk/Reward? Probably not worth it from his point of view so we are stuck.
That’s my view of it anyways.

Comment #111Fair enough with that comment but can you really see him not investing anymore and letting us go down. No because even if he doesnt care about the club he cares about his bank balance and us getting relegated isnt going to go down well with that is it. I totally agree with eveyones comments that he isnt the right owner for us, I totally agree but what good is it us moaning and complaining? its not going to make him go out and buy a wonder £20m player is it? We just need to see what happens in this window and then have our say.

So according to twatter
Colo is off contract to be cancelled tomos
Mirin is signed PEA is a target and we have bid for mbwia
Also remy deal has apparantly stalled because Stade rennes president have said they have not accepted an offer for M’vila from QPR as there bid is far too low which goes against Sky Sports News who reckon he’s already there, french reports suggesting remy wont sign if m’vila doesnt

Comment #115HBTM
If MA chooses not to spend money and show ambition that’s his choice. The reality is HBA and others will leave and if we get relegated ALL our star players will leave as they are ALL on release clauses in the event of relegation.
Given the value of our SQUAD and the VERY REAL possibility of being relegated I find it impossibly hard to believe that even MA could be that STUPID? He would stand to loose a fortune let alone the backlash……..Lets wait till the end of Janaury…then we’ll know what the situation is? Its premature to judge a window that’s still got 16 days left? Lets wait and see…..besides if MA screws it up again this time I do not think the Geordie public are likely to be so forgiving the 2nd time round…..do you?
