Newcastle United: Newcastle bid for O'Shea

Newcastle have reportedly bid £4million for Manchester United's John O'Shea.

The Republic of Ireland star has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Old Trafford this season.

And Toon boss Graeme Souness sees the talented 23-year-old as the answer to his defensive problems.

According to The Daily Mirror Souness tried to sign O'Shea while he was in charge of Blackburn.

Souness has bid 4million and while Manchester are reportedly holding out for nearer 6million the Geordies are hopeful of thrashing out a deal.

this would be a good move for both parties i would imagine. newcastle need a defender. and man utd dont really need him.

and i dont think money would be a problem. i think its down too. do man utd want to sell him

Yeah i agree but wasnt O'Shea fergies golden boy and much things were expected from him?

It would be a good move for Newcastle, i think he is a decent player.
