LooneyToonArmy Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 If he's 6'2, does he come under the "mobile target man" category that some have been whinging on about for weeks? from the Deportivo forums Xisco also suffers from the occassional muscular problems but if KK wants a target man alongside the likes of Owen/Martins, he could fill that role well and chip in with a few goals too. I think his team play has been his most improved attribute in the last year. His holding up of the ball with his back to goal, thus allowing the midfield to join the attacks was a feature of last year that really improved noticeably. He's also a brave striker, not scared to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in, which will no doubt go down well with the Geordie faithfull. He's not exactly lightning quick but for a target man, he has a turn of speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sounds like exactly what we need, a strong target man that can link midfield and attack. Will be delighted if it goes through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Xisco in Newcastle talks PA Monday, 1 September 2008 Xisco would join former Depor team-mate Fabricio Coloccini at St James' Park should he complete his move, following the defender's transfer earlier this summer. Independent.co.uk Web Deportivo La Coruna have accepted an offer from Newcastle for striker Xisco. The Spanish side also confirmed the striker is in talks with the Barclays Premier League club. Xisco would join former Depor team-mate Fabricio Coloccini at St James' Park should he complete his move, following the defender's transfer earlier this summer. A Depor spokesman would not reveal the fee but told PA Sport that 22-year-old Xisco was in negotiations with Newcastle with a view to completing his move before the transfer window closes at midnight. Earlier, Depor coach Miguel Angel Lotina admitted he was resigned to losing the Spanish Under-21 striker. "Today I was told that there are a lot of possibilities that he will go to Newcastle," Lotina told radio station Onda Cero. "He is an important player but the offer which Newcastle made must also have been important. "Moreover, he has only two years left on his contract and, it is obvious, that if he doesn't renew, he'll go. "I don't have confirmation that it has been done, but an offer exists." Lotina also praised the player for improving significantly since coming back from a season-long loan deal at second division side UD Vecindario. Xisco returned for the beginning of last season and immediately proved his worth by scoring nine goals in 14 games. Lotina added: "He was playing for Vecindario 14 months ago and now he receives an offer from an English club." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
