Robson cool on Woodgate link

Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson has refused to comment on speculation
linking him with an £8m move for Leeds defender Jonathan Woodgate.

Robson is desperate to sign a new centre-back and, with Leeds equally
desperate to generate income to reduce their debts, obvious links
have been made.

But Robson said: "We are not idling away but we can't say anything.

"The ones we like are the ones everyone likes.

"Some are not available and some could be available but at silly
money, so that kills it anyway.

"We are just working away and waiting for a move."

Robson has also been tipped to scupper Leeds' potential move for
Brazilian Kleberson.
