Woodgate Is meant to be on his way back to Newcastle after knocking back Tottenham yesterday, from NUFC.Com : We hear that Jonathan Woodgate is on his way back to Tyneside after the player rejected an offer from Tottenham. Confirmation had come on Friday that former Magpies defender Woodgate had been given permission by his club Middlesbrough to speak with Spurs over a transfer. This followed a public statement from the Riverside on Thursday that no bids had been received for any of Southgate's smoggie squad at that point - amid media claims that Newcastle were looking at Woodgate. Other sources claimed that Newcastle had enquired about the 28 year-old Teessider earlier this week, but thought he was over-valued at the allegedly-quoted £8m. Should Woodgate return, it might have implications for Cacapa - current wearer of the no.6 shirt. When Woodgate left Newcastle for Real Madrid for £13.4m in August 2004, Freddy Shepherd declared that his shirt would be kept ready for his return. We'll see.... Personally he is the best defender i have ever seen in a Newcastle top which over the years hasnt been hard like - on his day he is world class however that day isnt very often cos of injurys. He is what we need at the minute tho....
"A lifelong 'Boro fan, at the club he loves..." Until a fucking glimpse of a bid comes his way from another club, he smells the ££'s and fucks them off
From BBC sport :- Newcastle poised to sign Woodgate Woodgate has played 16 times for Middlesbrough this season Jonathan Woodgate is in talks with Newcastle after their £7m bid for the defender was accepted by Middlesbrough, reports BBC Radio Newcastle. Woodgate, who left the Magpies to join Real Madrid in 2004, looks set for a return to the club having reportedly turned down a move to Tottenham. Spurs had also had an offer for the England international accepted. Woodgate, 28, was not included in Middlesbrough's squad for their FA Cup match at Mansfield on Saturday. 606: DEBATE You views on Woodgate's future On Thursday, Boro manager Gareth Southgate insisted he was under no pressure to sell any of his players, although he confirmed on Saturday he has given permission to both Newcastle and Boro to speak to Woodgate. "We wouldn't let anybody go unless we thought we were suitably covered in that position or had somebody else coming in who we thought could replace the player that was going," he said. Southgate has other options in defence, with David Wheater, Robert Huth, Emanuel Pogatetz and Matthew Bates all competing for places. Woodgate joined hometown team Boro for £7m from Real last summer, after an impressive campaign on loan from the Spanish club last season.
