Will Fabricio Coloccini give Newcastle defenders a bad name? Whenever Newcastle have signed a defender - and a centre-back in particular - it has been a safe assumption he will eventually depart in ignominy. Jean-Alain Boumsong became a byword for blunders; Marcelino managed to incur the most improbable injuries; Titus Bramble was, well, Titus Bramble.
At £9 million, the Argentine Fabricio Coloccini is not cheap. Neither were many of his predecessors, but his CV suggests he is a superior player and the promising Steven Taylor is a possible partner. But a spell at St James' Park has a remarkable habit of denting the reputation of defenders.
