Nobby Solano Looks To Move To Spain
By Don Murray (29/10/2001)

Nobby Solano was far from impressed by Bobby Robson's public "dig" at him last week, and he is said to have made up his mind he wants a move to Spain. Nothing new in that, of course, he wanted to go to Real Madrid last year. But this time it's for real.

Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna are said to be favourites to sign the Peruvian, but don't rule out Atletico Madrid or Seville, who have both made checks on his form in the past.

Solano is a highly respected player in Spanish football, and both Barcelona and Real Madrid have been linked to him in the past. He even went to Madrid with the begging bowl last Christmas when he heard Real were watching his performances, but nothing came of it.

But Bobby Robson NEVER hangs out his washing in public, and NEVER slags off individuals, but he showed his patience is wearing thin with Nobby last week. He said his work-rate and dip in form had forced him to look to Lomana Lua Lua as a threat to his position in the team ... and old Bobby means it!

There has been a never-ending battle between the two of them since Robson arrived, and despite promises from both men that the dispute has been settled, they continue to try each other's patience.

I don't suppose his best friend in Newcastle is Spanish? Shame to separate them, really.

I woudn't break my heart if Nobby does go to Spain. Far better there than elsewhere in the EPL. I don't know enough about the teams mentioned to know if they have any surplus that could come the other way. Luis Figo perchance? OK, OK. I was only dreaming. MacManamanamanamanamanaman?

Nicely series of direct and indirect quotes to back up the 'move to Spain...again' story. Oh, sorry...there wasn't any. Reheated script anyone?
