also the fact he hasnt signed yet or surley keegan would have confirmed it when questioned?

 

So you're worried he hasn't signed even though he was at the game and the club owner had his name on the back of the shirt he was wearing?

The papers are hoping thats the case, imagine the field day they would have if the deal aint completed and the deal fell throu only for him to goto a London based club.

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is ready to sanction more big-money moves to bolster Kevin Keegan's squad after the club finally landed their third signing of the summer.

 

St James' Park chief Ashley sported the name of Argentina defender Fabricio Coloccini on the back of his shirt prior to yesterday's friendly against Spanish side Valencia.

The central defender now looks set to join his new colleagues at training tomorrow, after Newcastle completed a £10million deal for the player from Deportivo la Coruna.

Ashley paraded his new shirt just 24 hours after committing his long-term future to St James' Park and his show of faith will be music to Keegan's ears after weeks of uncertainty.

 

Coloccini joins his fellow countryman, winger Jonas Gutierrez, and midfielder Danny Guthrie, who signed from Liverpool, as the Newcastle manager's only acquisitions of a frustrating summer.

 

 

But with speculation that Ashley could sell out to the highest bidder now over, it would appear further new signings at Newcastle are imminent.

 

Keegan is still keen to recruit a left-back to challenge Spaniard Jose Enrique. The Under-21 international was omitted from yesterday's starting line-up following a disappointing pre-season.

 

Michael Owen, meanwhile, has been told he owes it to Newcastle's fans to drop his wage demands and sign a new deal to make up for three disappointing years.

 

He has started only 37 league games for the club after a series of injuries, yet he could walk away for nothing next summer.

 

Former Newcastle winger Chris Waddle said: 'If the club have offered him a decent deal, for the fans' sake he should say: "I haven't shown you what I can do", and give it another few years.'
