Robson in double bid for Woodgate and Kleberson

NEWCASTLE boss Bobby Robson last night confirmed that the club has launched a double bid to take Jonathan Woodgate and Kleberson to St James’ Park.

Newcastle United have contacted Leeds and Brazilian side Atletico Paranaense to make initial inquiries over the two men, who have been the subject of intense speculation in recent days.

"All I can confirm to you now is that the club have actually made communication to both clubs in respect of the two players concerned," he said.
