Tesla Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Holy shit. This guy will be the best player to every play in the A-League. Amazing signing if true. FWIW, I know some people have speculated we might play with wing backs, this signing gives a lot of credibility to that theory. 5-3-2/3-5-2 (depending how advanced the 'wing backs' are). Could work, not many guys who are just wingers in the squad, off the top of my head Kuzi and I guess Kamau? Not sure what happens to them if that's the case, maybe backup for up front or in midfield. But as I said before I would find a change in formation strange at this stage. JVS does like his attacking fullbacks though so no reason to think a marquee fullback isn't something JVS would want. Could also be playing on the left wing for all we know, but I doubt that. Edited September 2, 2016 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulhollanddrive Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 It may be better for our defense if he plays LW. End up playing an extra defender, rather than extra winger. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellydrum Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Maybe for our youth/NPL team, but could be our Marino/Dekker replacement. Just finished a season with Northcote City with 13 goals in 19 games. Edit: Just saw there was a thread up for him. Guess it's not breaking news Antony.

Well his Transfermarkt profile has left back as a side position as well as central midfield.

Jovan Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I have never been a big advocate of 1 player completely changing a side. The more I think about Colazo the more it is possible. Obviously he's quality and probably the highest level a player we could expect to attract in the A LEAGUE  (Villa excluded). He from the look of things is just below a regular starter from Boca, which in the world of soccer a serious player. He can play any where along the left and even centrally in the middle which is quite rare at the level. This 1 player can allow you to play some many different types of formations and with the already decent forward and midfield stocks we can go along way. Sigh. 2 caveats. Hasn't signed yet. The man who shall remain unnamed in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it goes really well for him, is a great player, they naturalise and buy him Quote Se va a prestamo el hdp se va a robar un tiempo a Australia y dsp vuelve a seguir robando aca The son of a bitch is going on loan to steal for some time in Australia and later will return to keep robbing us here A lot of them are calling him "muerto" (lit. dead) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=muerto&utm_source=search-action Will still probably still tear it up here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't really mean anything though. Fornaroli was useless in Europe for the big clubs he played for, Berisha was too.

illeatyourheart Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) This is what his agent said on the radio a couple hours ago Quote "Nico tiene contrato con Boca hasta 2017" - Nico is contacted with Boca until 2017 "Hable con la gente de Colón y tenemos un preacuerdo" - I spoke with Colón's people and we have a preagreement "PodrÃa pasar por Australia para ir luego a Manchester" - He could go to Australia to later go to Manchester City "Hace un año Colazo valÃa 4 o 5 millones y hoy menos" - A year ago Colazo was worth 4 or 5 million and today less "TendrÃa que estar en la Roma hace un año pero no tenÃa el pasaporte" - He should have been in Rome a year ago but he didn't have a passport "Colazo se va a ir de Boca" - Colazo is going to leave Boca "Con Boca está todo hablado ya para un prestamos" - With Boca everything is already sorted for a loan "Guillermo y Gustavo fueron de frente, le dijeron que se busquen club" "Para mà lo que llegó no es mejor que Nico" - for me, the guy coming in isn't better than Nico "Pienso que se manejan muy mal las contrataciones en Boca" - I think they handle contracts badly at Boca "También hay cosas que se hacen bien, como en todos lados" "Si mañana están los papeles, se va al Melbourne City" - If the paperwork is done tomorrow, he'll go to Melbourne City  Edited September 3, 2016 by illeatyourheart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
