Huth and Shearer To Be "Reunited" ?

It has been reported that Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson is planning a surprise move for Chelsea defender Robert Huth.

The 19-year-old German was, last month, linked with a loan move to Aston Villa, but it has been reported that  Newcastle are keen to offer £4 million for the player.

Huth wants regular action next season, and said:

''Moving to Villa would be a good opportunity for me to get more Premiership football.

"But I have to wait."

Despite only managing to start nine games for Chelsea last season, he picked up one red card and seven yellows. This is not surprising though after seeing his stamp on Alan Shearer back in April this year. 

Huth faced a charge of violent conduct after he appeared to stamp on Shearer after a tussle for the ball during the game at St James' Park - which Newcastle won 2-1, but the Football Association decided to take no further action.

However, match referee Rob Styles confirmed he had seen the incident and that was that!

How would you feel if Huth was to come to St James' Park? Would he be welcomed?
