Rumours: Newcastle United want Liverpool teenager
The Newcastle boss is turning to youth for the future – sounds like the last throw of a desperate manager who might not be around much longer.

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.

Keegan seems to be well grounded and doing the best he can with the rubbish he was left with. Someone, somewhere has to just sit back and give the management team the time and support to do what is needed. But Keegan also has to realise that he can't put a team out to try to play like they did 12 years ago anyomore without getting a Man U style pasting. Defences have smartened up.
