Things are not looking good for Kevin Keegan and Newcastle, who were hammered 5-1 at home by Manchester United yesterday. Those fans who felt that the return of their idol would signal a huge change in fortunes will be thinking more clearly now, a month into his second spell as Toon boss and still without a win.

King Kev will be looking to change his squad in the summer – that's if he is still around – and with that in mind he has a new target. Keegan was so impressed with Liverpool’s Argentine full back Emiliano Insua whilst watching him play in a reserve match that he intends to put in a bid for the 19-year-old (Sunday Express)

The former Boca Juniors kid was instrumental in his country’s success at the under-20 World Cup last year and is clearly a star of the future. Rafa Benitez is very unlikely to let the youngster leave so I think Keegan may have to look elsewhere to improve his hapless back four.
