He played every minute of Deportivo La Coruna's campaign in La Liga last season ... which must be encouraging.
Marcelino only made 19 starts in FOUR years! And took six month off with a broken finger!
Coloccini started his career at Boca Juniors in 1998 before moving to AC Milan the following season.
However, he made just one appearance for the San Siro side and spent the rest of his five years with the Italians on loan at San Lorenzo, Alaves, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal before moving on to Deportivo in 2004.

Elena Sierra Marcelino cost £5m from Real Mallorca and has been nothing but trouble ever since. Spanish international who came for the money, and nothing else. The club even called in lawyers to try and get him kicked out of the club without paying him full wages. A total waste of space ... and money! Went back to Spain.
