Frenchman loves Newcastle

Last updated : 28 June 2003 By Martyn Elliott

The Frenchman went on to describe a formation that could accommodate Ronaldinho and himself in the team. What Sir Bobby, Craig Bellamy and Nobby Solano think of the new team tactics remains a mystery!

"The press said Ronaldinho to Newcastle and me to Paris Saint-Germain," he told Sky Sports News. "Newcastle is a big club, so no deal I don’t want to leave.

"I love Newcastle, the club, the country and the football. My contract makes it possible for me to stay here for another three years, and that would not be a problem for me."

He continued: "At Newcastle Ronaldinho could play in the same side as me, he’s the best player in the world and my friend.

"Why not him on the right, me on the left and Alan Shearer up front?"
