Same old, same old
Interviewed by a radio station in his native Argentina last week, Fabricio Coloccini has once again spoken of his desire to rejoin former club San Lorenzo.
Echoing previous comments, Colo confirmed that he had a verbal offer from the Buenos Aires club and wouldn't consider joining anyone else but needs to "respect the people of Newcastle" (or at least the ones on Barrack Road still paying him).
The 34 year-old defender remains under contract at Gallowgate but hasn't featured since the arrival of Rafa Benitez - officially sidelined with calf trouble.
This latest declaration of love for the club he played at in 2001 hasn't been universally reciprocated by their fans though, especially those witnessing his fading powers via Premier League matches on TV:
"Stay in Newcastle and eat fish & chips" is probably our favourite response from them so far....
Colo's comments came as San Lorenzo faced Lanus in the final of the Argentine Championship. Given that San Lorenzo were thumped 0-4 though, it sounds like he's already signed for them....
