The Galician club's coach is desperate to hang on to the defender and believes that allowing him to leave would be wrong because of the influence he has on the squad.

 

Depor won through to the UEFA Cup preliminaries after Juan Valerón netted the only goal in a second leg victory over Bnei Sakhnin, but Lotina was focussing on keeping Coloccini.

 

"If Coloccini goes it will be mistake of the summer. The team relies on him because he is a great player, someone that we really need and it works very hard," he told reporters.

 

"He is a tremendous asset who gives everything on the pitch and is a huge influence in the dressing room.

 

"If he goes, then we will have to look for someone else, but we will take things step-by-step and wait and see what happens.

 

"It is not easy to find a player of that level, but we will look and will adapt."

 

Lotina did then reflect on his tam's progress in Europe and admitted that there were still plenty of things to improve upon, but was pleased to have progressed.

 

"What is important is that we are in the UEFA Cup because that is what we all wanted and now we can analyse things because we are still in pre-season," he continued.

 

"The two halves of the game were very different, but we were strong at the back and in the second period you could see the tiredness creeping in.

 

"We were still a bit green in every area, especially physically."

Newcastle will pay £7m for Real Madrid star

Jul 27 2008 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun

 

 

NEWCASTLE are prepared to pay £7 million for Real Madrid’s Brazilian star Julio Baptista.

 

But Madrid want closer to £12m for the former Arsenal loan star nicknamed “The Beast” — and knowing that Roma are also on Baptista’s trail, Madrid are banking on the Italians and United getting into a bidding war.

 

Newcastle have retrained their sights on Baptista, pictured right, after missing out on fellow attacking midfielders Pablo Aimar and Luka Modric.

 

But it remains to be seen whether they can agree a deal with Madrid or a wage package to tempt Baptista in their bid to make an eye-catching signing, not least to boost flagging season-ticket sales.

 

The 26-year-old performed reasonably well on loan at Arsenal in 2006/07 after snubbing them for Madrid when leaving Sevilla in 2005.

 

Meanwhile, Keegan will up his bid for Blackburn’s Stephen Warnock and is on the trail of Argentine defenders Fabricio Coloccini (at Deportivo La Coruna) and Nicolas Burdisso (Inter Milan), hoping to land two out of the three.

Daniel Carvalho has seemed to disappear off the CSKA teamsheet. Surely he is worth a bid.

 

He is still on there website.

Surely premiership football would tempt him more than the Brazilian league.

Because it's true?

 

Perhaps, but if so I'd expect at least some of the Spanish papers to be picking up on it.

Wasn't there a link on here the other day from one of the Spanish papers saying we put a bid in for him on Tuesday night?

I cant see Batista coming here to be honest, Colloccini yes but Julio will either play for another CL team or he'll stary at Real.

 

I can't see a WWE star wanting to come here either.  :thup:

Big Dave Batista at CB would be awesome, he would also have to come out after the rest of the team for his entrance.
