Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson is convinced that Magpies' defender Titus Bramble will soon be challenging for a place in Sven's England sqaud.

SIR BOBBY SAID:

"As far as Titus is concerned, it is not a question of talent because he has plenty of that. It is about his focus and application. If he gets that right he will be fine, but we're very pleased with the way he is progressing.

"He still needs to work on that side of his game, but we knew what we were buying when we brought him here and he is developing as a player.

"The way he passes the ball out of defence is so impressive. In fact, he is probably the best two-footed player we've got at the club."
