Nolberto Solano

[Glenntore]

Idag kommer Solano spela sin 300:e match i Newcastle-tröjan och hamna i en grupp där endast 25 andra Newcastle-spelare genom tiderna finns.
Officiella sidan ahr hyllat det med att lägga upp en video med 5 (enligt dom, bästa) Solano-mål.
Det är lite häftigt att se hur snabb han faktiskt var en gång i tiden.

Hull City midfielder Nobby Solano admits he still has hopes of returning to Newcastle United.

Solano has dreams of returning one day in a coaching capacity.

He told the Evening Chronicle: ?As an aspiring coach you want to get a job anywhere and then prove yourself. But one day I would love to do it at Newcastle.

?It is my club and I always still look out for the results and come back to the city. It would be a great way to pass on what I have picked up from the game

Kom gjerne. Savner han som spillertype i denne klubben.
Kunne kansje lært Jonas litt om innlegg osv.

Solano er alltid velkommen tilbake, hærlig spiller og flott person

[Kristoffer]

Elsker han ja

[ScandinavianMagpie]

En av legendene fra storhetstiden. Ville gjerne sett han i en eller annen rolle i klubben, og da gjerne i samarbeid med Beardo. Tror de to kunne fått frem noen virkelig gode unggutter.

[Tim Buch]

For en spiller.

Har til gode å se en spiller med like bra teknikk som Solano i Newcastle i løpet av min levetid. Han hadde absolutt hatt noe å gjøre på treningsfeltet, både som inspirasjon og trener til ungguttene.

Blir våt i trusa bare med å tenke på målet hans mot Everton

For den som har lyst å se igjen vår gamle helt, er det mulig i morgen..Nobby spiller for tiden i Hartlepool, som ligger League 1. De skal spille borte mot Notts County. Kampstart 1715 norsk tid.

Kampen sendes på skysports1, og dere kan se den hos mypremium.tv

Skal jammen meg se om jeg får med meg kampen, gitt.

[Aslak]

Kult. Det er så grusomt med landslagspauser at i dag måtte jeg se Northampton - Crawley Town bare for å få sett noe fotball i hvert fall. Den kampen i morgen skal jeg lett se!

Forøvrig en god artikkel med/om Solano som dere bør lese:

LITTLE MASTER NOBBY SOLANO IS STILL SO GRAND 

Nobby Solano is now playing for Hartlepool
Saturday October 1,2011
By Niall Hickman

ASIDE from Alan Shearer, there has been no more popular footballer on Tyneside in recent years than Nobby Solano, which is why his brush with bankruptcy triggered shock waves throughout the North-east.

In two spells at St James? Park, Solano became the most revered winger since the Nineties heyday of David Ginola. He was a Peruvian trickster who seemed something of a throwback to when every side had a creative beacon in their ranks.

Solano, who is now coaching Newcastle?s Under-11s, ended his playing association with the club in 2007 before spells at West Ham, Larissa in Greece, Leicester and Hull City led him to his current club Hartlepool.

It was during his short time in Greece that his marriage ended and the money troubles began, but Solano is hoping the bankruptcy order issued this month will soon be reversed.

?It is in the hands of my lawyers and I am hoping something will be done to reverse it because it has obviously been a deeply upsetting and disturbing time for me,? said 36-year-old Solano. ?It has been very embarrassing, but hopefully it will all be over and sorted out soon.?

I would love to carry on coaching and obviously, if that happened at Newcastle, I would be delighted.   

Solano is not playing on for the money ? far from it. He left Hull for Hartlepool in order to carry on doing the thing he loves best, lacing up his boots every week ? a refreshing opposite to Carlos Tevez?s reluctance to get his knees dirty.

?I just love playing week-in, week-out,? said Solano, who won 95 caps for Peru. ?The knees are feeling it more and more and I am not too keen on pre-season training so this could be my last season. In fact, it probably will be, but when manager Mick Wadsworth rang me and said I would play every week, I said that was all I wanted.

?Hartlepool have been really good for me. The people are fantastic and we have done really well this season, well enough to think that we could get into the play-offs.
 
?That would be a real achievement bearing in mind the size of the club. I?ve enjoyed every minute of it.?

They know a player when they see one at St James? Park and, in his prime, Solano was a mercurial talent who lit up the Premier League.

Not every player can boast being nicknamed the ?Little Master? by Diego Maradona, but Solano can claim that distinction having played alongside the Argentina genius for a year with Boca Juniors, prior to joining Newcastle in 1998.

His long-term goal is to settle in the North-east and he hopes the coaching he has been undertaking with Newcastle?s youngsters will lead to a permanent role.

?I would love to carry on coaching and obviously, if that happened at Newcastle, I would be delighted. It is the club closest to my heart,? he said.

?However, I know what football is like and if a coaching job came up somewhere else, of course I would have to consider it.?

Solano certainly had to overcome plenty of adversity growing up in a Peruvian shanty town with his six brothers and sisters. Solano would take a three-hour round trip bus journey in order to get to football training and throughout his career he looked after his family financially.

?I had a fantastic time playing for Peru and fortunately all my club managers, especially Bobby Robson, were very happy for me to go back home and play for my country,? he said. ?We had a great side under Sir Bobby, which came so close to winning something. It was a shame we never did.

?We were a very entertaining team and we could beat anybody on our day. We finished third, fourth and fifth in the league and maybe we should have won a trophy in that period. I?m delighted with the way they are playing now and Alan Pardew has done an incredible job.?

It is Sheffield United at home today in front of a Victoria Ground full house, a return to something like the big time for Solano.

?I?m just enjoying it for what it is,? he said. ?Hartlepool have been very good to me. Everyone has been good to me.?
