Newcasle United adimitted on the clubs official website that they have indeed put in a bid in for either Darren Ambrose or Darren Bent - or maybe for the pair of them. Midfielder Ambrose and striker Bent have been brought through the Town youth system - the same system where both Keiron Dyer and Titus Bramble came through.

Amborse broke onto the Ipswich scene this season and has been very impressive, with United scouts and Sir Bobby himself watching Ambrose regularly. The 18-year-old can play anywhere accross the middle but has mainly played right-wing.

The Bent link is a bit of a suprise, with United possesing several good young players upfront. But Sir Bob will always stick to his policy of buying good youth and he clearly thinks Bent is better than what we've got.
