Viana rubbishes Juve reports

Newcastle United and Portugal U21 starlet, Hugo Viana has been linked with a transfer move to Italian giants Juventus.

I doubt very much that Sir Bobby Robson would actually let him go anyway, but Viana has put all us Magpies' straight, saying that the rumours are "rubish".

The Portuguese youngster said, "I do not know of anything about that. At this moment I think only about Newcastle.

"I can only say something if there is a concrete proposal, which has not happened."

I for one are pleased that he is staying. I am sure he is a VERY HOT PROSPECT for the future. We have all seen his skill and determination. Your future lies at St James' Park!
