We study the impact of different cold nuclear matter effects both on J-\psi\ and \psi production, among them the modification of the gluon distribution in bound nucleons, commonly known as gluon shadowing, and the survival probability for a bound state to escape the nucleus -the nuclear absorption. Less conventional effects such as saturation and fractional energy loss are also discussed. We pay a particular attention to the recent PHENIX preliminary data on \psi production in dAu collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV, which show a strong suppression for central collisions, 5 times larger than the one obtained for J-\psi\ production at the same energy. We conclude that none of the abovementioned mechanisms can explain this experimental result.
