Has Benitez Lost The Plot?

Last updated : 08 June 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

Benitez has offered 19-year-old defenders Emiliano Insua and Jack Hobbs for the England Under-21 international.

The third player was so insignificant that my St James's Park source could not even recall his name - and I think the Toon management team were too busy laughing to listen.

Insua is an Argentinian who was signed from Boca Juniors, while Hobbs has been on loan at Scunthorpe since the January transfer window.

Newcastle didn't even bother to give Benitez and answer.
