Newcastle United will be bringing in new players during the summer, but nothing will be rushed into. The right man needs to be found. We are not quite there yet! Although we haven't seen too many signings recently, we CAN expect to see some new blood on Tyneside in the near future.

Robson brought in Ambrose and Bowyer, but at the moment, we are "waiting for the right man" to come along.

Sir Bobby said, "The chairman has done well for me lately considering all the bills he has to pay and a stand to pay for as well as having a big staff.

"But we have spent some decent money in the transfer market recently on players such as Titus Bramble, Hugo Viana, Darren Ambrose and Jermaine Jenas. We have also spent a little bit of money on Lee Bowyer.

"We have signed him and we now have a very good squad.

"We are looking at the transfer market all the time to see just what is available but we will not rush and we will not panic.

"However, do not forget we are not in the Champions League proper yet - although we hope to be - and as a result we cannot go out and spend £10 million on two players with money we have not got.

"There is not much happening in the transfer market at the moment and I don't think there will be until the end of June when players' contracts are up."
