LooneyToonArmy Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Colo Told Me Toon Is Fab - Xisco By Craig Hope NEWCASTLE United new boy Xisco has revealed that former Deportivo La Coruna team-mate Fabricio Coloccini gave him the lowdown on life on Tyneside before his move to the Magpies. And the Argentine must have sounded a glowing report with the Spain under-21 striker admitting it was an easy decision to swap the Riazor for St.James' Park. "I spoke with Colo and he told me all about the club and the city," said Xisco in an exclusive interview with nufc.co.uk. "He said it was a great place and that it would make him very happy if I joined him at Newcastle." Xisco joins a growing legion of Spanish-speaking stars in the United dressing room and, while agreeing it will be a big help to have those players around to help him settle in, he says he is determined to learn English as soon as possible. "Of course I know Colo and also Jose Enrique from Spain under-21," he added. "There are also other Spanish speakers and that will be a big help to begin with. "But I want to work on my English and learn the language within the first few months. "That is important because I will be able to get to know all of my team-mates and also settle in the area." http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1381779,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Poor guy won't know what hit him, i bet Depor fans are laughing their ass off atm They've lost two of their best players in the space of two weeks, so I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the team who is responsible gets his manager sacked out of the blue. Karma is a bitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deporik Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm not laughing at all. If anything, I feel sorry for Geordie fans who are left in limbo with nothing confirmed or denied by NUFC. I'm a Depor fan first and foremost but I like to see the majority of our players doing really well, wherever they go; and I was looking forward to supporting Newcastle in the Premiership this year because of Xisco and Colo. To be honest though, I have no idea how Keegan's departure (IF it's true) will affect these players. A new man might decide he doesn't want them in the side, who knows. I just hope that whatever is happening, it gets sorted out as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edd Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 http://www.guillembalague.com/blog_desp.php?id=66 That sounds really promising. Hard working, not afraid to put himself about, good movement and hold-up play and a decent goal scoring record. I'd never even heard of the lad before, but I'm really looking forward to seeing him at the focal point of our attack now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I can't wait to see him play, under kk of course. He's got a great first game to try and get off the mark too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like the thought of him going off to a lower league club, doing the business there and still forcing his way back into the plans at Depor. Compare that to Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Has Guillem had anything to say about the other fella yet? Gonzalez. He said something on Revista but I'm sure he didn't describe the player just revealed the details, he was bumming Jonas though saying he's great and said our scouts have done very well to secure Jonas,Colo and Xisco.

BONTEMPI Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Just happy we can talk about the team again and the new lads that have come in. I think this lad will be awesome for us, I don't know why just a gut feeling I have. He has a great turn of pace, can hold the ball up and can head and shoot. Everything a striker needs to make it in the prem, Could be our Torres! And this attacking midfield lad must have something about him to be signed by Valencia. So see how we do until Jan then push on from there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you what, I know a lot of people believe that if keegan goes , no one will want anything to do with us, but I disagree. I think a lot of managers would be very impressed with some of the players we have been able to bring in, particularly in Spain. Colo and Jonas in particular would have turned some heads. 2 youngish Argentine internationals with a good amount of time ahead of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
