... Fabricio Coloccini in which the club’s captain claimed he wanted to sign for San Lorenzo.
Coloccini was quoted by Ole in Argentina as saying he wanted to join the club “as soon as possible”.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said he knew nothing about the Coloccini article – so perhaps he should buy the Chronicle every now and again to find out what is happening at St James'' Park.
The defender is under contract at St James’s Park until 2016 but he tried to manoeuvre a move away from the club last January and in the summer.
Alan Pardew: “I don’t know much about it.
“I haven’t spoken to him.
“I wasn’t aware of that, if I’m honest. But it’s difficult when players go home and they are interviewed. You never know if there’s any truth in it.
“I thought he gave a controlled performance.
“It’s very difficult to come into a Premier League game when you’ve been out for four (league) games.
“I thought he came in and looked comfortable.
"He’s an experienced player. He gives us that little bit of class.
"He almost got a clean sheet, but we switched off at a set play, which was disappointing.
“If we’d got three clean sheets, I’d have been really, really pleased. But as it is, I’m delighted.”
