Newcastle furious with Liverpool offer for Milner

Newcastle United are furious with Liverpool after they offered three
"nonentities" in part-exchange for winger James Milner.
United have found themselves in an identical situation to Aston Villa when
Martin O'Neill went ballistic after Rafael Benitez tried the same trick
with them in a bid to lure Gareth Barry to Anfield.

O'Neill never went public with the players he was offered by Liverpool, but
the Evening Chronicle revealed that Benitez has dangled 19-year-old
defenders Emiliano Insua and Jack Hobbs in front of United.

The third player was so insignificant that the St James?s Park source could
not even recall his name - and needless to say United will not be biting.

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