Newcastle want to sign Crewe's teenage striker Dean Ashton. Bobby Robson has watched the 17-year-old in person, but Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are also interested

Would he be any more of a sensation than our current young England Internationals Ameobi, Chopra and Offiong? Nah!

Both Ashton and Chopra have been included in the England U17 team to face Italy, details from Nufc.com.

Now we'll see why we don't need Ashton and get a relative value for Chopra.!

Ah telt you lot about two months ago that Dean Ashton was the best young striker in the Nationwide. Why do you never listen to me?

Another one to take note of is 19 year old Stephen Brooker at Port Vale but I don't know why I'm telling you this 'cos you never listen.
