Magpies could make a swoop for Terry

NEWCASTLE boss Bobby Robson has identified John Terry as the man to solve his side’s defensive problems.

It is understood that the Magpies, bankrolled by their unexpected Champions League success, will make a bid to land the 21-year-old Chelsea stopper when the transfer window reopens in January.

United were remaining tight-lipped on speculation Robson will move for the former England Under-21 skipper today. But with the inadequacies of the current rearguard having being cruelly exposed once again at Manchester United on Saturday, there is little doubt the manager will act to ensure that the good work at the other end of the pitch does not go to waste.
