Fabricio Coloccini no longer wants to quit the Toon Army. The Argentinian club captain demanded a transfer away from Newcastle in January, but in a surprise change of heart, the defender has decided to stay.
What a difference six months has made for the centre back. Originally he requested a transfer, citing family problems and uncertain times at Newcastle as a reason for his request.<br />
Despite that, manager Alan Pardew had clear the air talks with the club captain. Coloccini now wishes to stay at St. James' Park. <br />
The defender will also sign a fresh contract in the coming weeks.
