He made the £10.3m move from Deportivo La Coruña, but failed to impress in the Premiership, but Chris Hughton says Fabricio Coloccini needed to take a backwards step. Chris Hughton: “Fabricio was outstanding last year and a very important player for us. "He has got used to English football and the challenges it brings and it is good for him to be able to show his quality in the Premier League. “I thought the two centre-backs stood up really well to a tough test as Wolves. "hey had a real go at us, with a lot of long balls into the area, and the two centre-backs stood up to that. "It has been an encouraging start, but they will have plenty more tough tests to come.”
