Soon to be former Newcastle United player Carl Cort has been agreed to be sold to Wolves and should agree personal terms shorty. However, despite agreeing to sell him Sir Bobby Robson still sings his praises.

Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson has agreed to sell injury prone Carl Cort to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of around £1.5. However he backs the player to come good.

"I have given him permission to go and I wish him all the luck in the world," Robson said.

"He has never once given me a grain of discomfort. He has been a solid pro every single minute of every day."

Cort has seen his career at Newcastle blighted by injury problems but Robson still has faith in his abilities.

"That boy will come back as a Premiership player and in a way I hope he does because I brought him and put my judgement on the line with him," stated the Magpies chief.

"When he first came here he was great, but after five weeks some journalists started calling him the invisible man which is outlandish journalism.

"That boy has gone through a harrowing time and to get treated like that by people is just shameful."

Carl Cort won't be missed by some, though.
