Shearergol 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikko 20 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Getting him completely free for the whole season? Sounds like a good deal to me. 10494[/snapback] Seems like an excellent deal. Between him and babayaro we might actually have half a left back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Surely this, along with the imminent signing of Michael Owen is cause for optimism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'd be very happy with that. It means that the deal would be pretty much risk free. To be honest I would be happy to go half and half with Inter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Nothing confirmed by the club yet though. Seems odd that this week we've pulled out of deals for Anelka, Owen, Coco and Boa Morte. Something's afoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emre 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 A free left back for a year and if he's a new Baba we're not losing anything... sounds too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inter are that desperate to get rid of him that they're willing to pay his wages to do so. Bet they don't pay his physio bills too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emre 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Yep, you're right. Inter are that desperate to get rid of him that they're willing to pay his wages to do so. That's what worries me, why are they so desperate to get rid? Edited August 11, 2005 by Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
