Exclusive: Newcastle in turmoil as captain Coloccini asks to return home

Oh dear. On the one hand, I have a soft spot for Newcastle (don't know why though) but on the other would love for Pardew to fail. I rate him as highly as Mick McCarthy and Steve McLaren as a manager.

Remy to Arsenal apparently, wouldn't put anything on it at the minute, same paper claimed he was in Newcastle the other day having a medical

This Remy talk is starting to get boring, looks like we'll have to wait for the player himself to say where he's going (Eden Hazard all over again)

We'll have to wait for Pardew to confirm if the Colo thing is true, if it is then it's a tough spot for both teams, He's still got about 3 years on his contract and Newcastle won't be allowing their best CB to move for nothing in the market when you take into account the club in question simply won't be able to afford him.

Jonas and Cabaye return tomorrow with Ben Arfa and the rest of the injury list now back in training, so it's not all doom for the toon.

Cabaye is what the team is being built around now either way, hanging onto the likes of Cabaye & Ben Arfa is crucial.

All I ask for is 3 signings, a CB, another midfielder and a striker, the first and latter are the most important.

Let's see how the colo business unfolds then. Loan move with them paying his wages, freeing up a nice chunk to sign a few players at least as Colo is the highest paid Newcastle player.

Update: Word just got around on the usual social networking sites and so that Newcastle have made a bid for Gaetan Bong, Papers are starting to pick this up as well, adds more to the colo story since Bong is indeed a CB, strengthening or replacing?

Confirmed then: Valenciennes president Jean-Raymond Legrand told le10sport.com: "Newcastle are very interested, they have made an offer

Pardew is confident on landing Remy but we've named the plan B as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

That's all I have for today.

Not the type of thing Pardew wants to hear one suspects with his side in freefall.

Well Remy is no Eden Hazard and this is the same as every window. The press latch onto a few players that might be moving and write story after story about them. Remy will be linked to Arsenal, Newcastle, and I suspect they'll link Spurs to him in what will be called 'hijack attempt'. Most of these stories, if not all of them, will be made up.

Remember M'Vila? Arsenal were 99% done, then the deal was signed. Then Spurs had a last minute attempt to hijack the deal but he turned them down. In the end it emerged nobody had made a bid! Arsenal enquired but didn't follow up or speak to the player.

Newspapers just make stuff up.

Theo Walcott is expected to sign a new Arsenal contract before the game against Man City. It is a rumoured, Â£90,000 a week deal which will see the 23 year old staying at the emirates until summer 2017.

adzii_nufc · 11-01-2013, 13:16

Club confirmed Colo had asked to leave this morning.

Then Arsenal are fools. Walcott is not worth 90k a week. But with the way wages are going in football, the mediocre will end up on 100k plus and the likes of Shrek, donkey and Messi will end up on over 300k a week.

Never really done it while he was here and perhaps he has become homesick.

Uncle Peter · 11-01-2013, 17:37

Sahin never demonstrated either the workrate or mobility to operate in the role he was brought in to fill. Maybe that's because he needed to improve his fitness but if that's the case then it's probably best he goes and does it on someone else's pitch for 80K a week.
