Coco's Newcastle move falls through

LONDON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Inter Milan defender Francesco Coco will not be joining Newcastle United on loan, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.

"We have been unable to agree to the final conditions of the player's loan move from Inter Milan to Newcastle United and he will be returning to Milan shortly," a club statement posted on its official website said.

The 28-year-old left back, who has also played for AC Milan and Barcelona, took part in one pre-season match on Saturday while on trial with Newcastle.

Newcastle also said that they would no longer pursue their interest in signing French striker Nicolas Anelka from Fenerbahce of Turkey.

"As Nicolas Anelka has only been at Fenerbahce for six months and the club have said he's never been for sale, we have been requested not to pursue the matter any further and we have agreed to do this," chairman Freddy Shepherd said.

HAHA I was right

Oba gol and Adriano score. Adriano played like a star once again. Best striker in the world. The pass to oba for the first goal was amazing. Ze Maria and Pizarro came off the bench and lite up the place. Solar played horribly but thats because of lack of match fitness or so he says. Ze Maria deserves to start next game.

Everyone played very well besides Solari. Only problem I had was CuChu Cambiasso all over the place didnt play that great today.

Anyways 2-0 in favour of inter!!!! Next game is in front of 0 people but we have asured are selves of the group stages I think.

It looks like Coco's loan move is back on now. The local press report that Inter have agreed to pay all his wages and he could still join us on a season's loan.

He probably won't be ready for the Arsenal game on Sunday though.

Coco's move may be back on Inter Milan have offered to pay Francesco Coco's wages so that the Italian full-back can prove himself at St James' Park. The Chronicle revealed yesterday that the 17-times capped left-back's loan move to United had gone on ice and the club's official website later reported that deal was off. But the word from Italy today was that Inter Milan would continue to pay Coco's £60,000-a-week wages because they have complete faith in him. A source at the San Siro Stadium told me today: "Inter Milan have heard that Coco was coming back to them because Newcastle were not happy about certain aspects of his fitness. "But Inter have so much faith in Coco's fitness that they are ready to pay his wages for the full 12 months he would be at St James' Park." There was no word from St James' Park on the Coco situation at first today but frankly United would have nothing to lose giving the idea a go. They already have a left-back in Celestine Babayaro who, for them, spends too much time on the treatment table and another left-back in Robbie Elliott who is in the doghouse after his howler against Deportivo La Coruna in the Intertoto Cup at St James' Park eight days ago. And regardless of the situation surrounding Coco, I believe Graeme Souness will hand Steven Taylor the left-back position against Arsenal at Highbury. Souness was surprisingly upbeat today despite all United's problems and he said: "Young Taylor is a beast of a player and we know he will make life difficult for anyone he comes up against if we play him at Highbury on Sunday. "We know that left-back is not his favourite position but we also know that he will defend as well as anybody. "Yes, he won't get forward but there are not many left-backs out there who do get forward. Ashley Cole is an obvious exception but the ones who do get forward all used to be left-wingers like Roberto Carlos and Wayne Bridge."

What the hell he was on trial there thats why he is in their strip!!??

Anyways its stupid for us to be doing this. Coco should just shut up and sit on the bench at Inter and make his money than go play somewhere else. WTF are Inter thinking and I had no clue he made that much p/w!!!!

Although if he does go to Newcastle he will be a hit! I guarentee that. He has a huge upside just hope he doesnt get injured.

hey InterMilan31, can I join your alliance?
It's so sad that you are alone...
