Nobby's 648th U-Turn
Peru coach Julio Cesar Uribe has shown no interest in the Toon player, as midfielder or full-back. And it is ironic how he first played at full-back (a position he has been superb this season at St James' Park) in the international team. A position that he failed to deliver and was dropped and stripped of the captaincy.
At the time he said "I was played out of position for Peru ... I am NOT a defender".
Solano: "I am not going to hang a placard on my neck and I am not going to go down on one knee asking for a recall. I want to make it clear that I have never said that I don't want to play for the national team again.
"I notice that the current coach Julio Cesar Uribe doesn't count on me because I have to report to Newcastle. But I don't know what is going to happen."
