If COG is playing ahead of him he must've really ****ed up. To warrant that, he must've slaughtered a family pet or pulled a Kuszczak on Hughton's wife.

What has Colunga done to CH?

Shock horror young player has head turned by offer of tens of thousands every week. Dunk was ready to come on v Fulham in any case.
Clunge is an older head. But need to get rid.
If I were Spanish and looking out the window this morning, I'd be home
Colunga only made 11 starts last season, plus 6 sub appearances.
One of those was Bournemouth away where he received the second highest player rating.
Taking into account the car crash nature of last season, the rejuvenation of other players, and the formation change he can't be out of the team purely for footballing reasons.
It's not just from one person, I got to know them very well and your typical Spaniard, working class guy doesn't travel well.They might move because of economic problems over there, the need to earn more money, the need to improve their English. Colunga to me looks to me like someone who has tried it over here and just wants to go back home now

Well exactly, this is what I'm saying. It's all speculation obviously but I imagine if we could be in on the conversation that he has expressed a desire not to be here and that's the reason he's not featuring in any plans. It's not down to him lacking ability that's for sure

I'd much rather see Colunga on the pitch than March most of the time. Solly has potential but his decision making can be dreadful at times.

And then be sent back home on loan, then back to England when an expected permanent move to Spain doesn't happen.

Agreed, his ball to Bruno to head us into the lead at Norwich was arguably the cross of the season. Cannot believe he is being left out for football reasons as we have players who offer much less still getting games.

The sooner we get rid of COG and Colunga the better, I would literally give them away for £250k a go just to get off the wage bill.

Inigo Caleron, Leo Ulloa (twice), Spanish Dave, Andrea Orlandi, to name but a few. But then all foreigners are the same, aren't they?
As are all people from Uckfield.
I'm talking about us as well, people in general. It's not easy to go and live in a foreign country. Some of them will not be able to deal with it

COG has had plenty of game time and not looked like he has a clue where the goal is in over a year. Colunga has had very little game time but it clear that he has ability and in some of the cameos has looked one of our better players. It's all a bit odd imo.

True. Home sickness seems to be something mentioned a lot in this thread, I'm not so sure that is true.
Far more likely a reason for him not being picked, is simply that he is not a 'Hughton' type player. Far too lightweight and skillful for the manager's liking, unable to hold on to the ball, and unable to defend Being an ex defender himself, Hughton likes 'defensive' players.
But surely if you can generalise so can I? I also know and work with many Spanish in the UK, France and the USA and have also worked in Spain but like most there is a mix some want to go home some love it abroad and want to stay. You generalised that the Spanish as a nation are home-bodes and don't travel well this is simple no more true for the Spanish than any other nation.
Yes there are is more to the Colunga situation than we know but I do not see how you can base the reason on an inaccurate generalisation.
How's that for a Lethargic response?
From a small sample size Colunga was the second highest player rating in that game too.
Finally a generalisation that is actually correct
I resent that remark and I will be sending my butler round to your residence to demand an apologies or its a duel at dawn you scoundrel you!
