Abdoulaye Faye: "He is a great coach, everybody in England recognises that."I hope he will do well for Newcastle - in fact, I know he will.
"I am very happy to be here. It is my first game at St James' Park and it is a very important game because we lost the last one. It is very important for me, for the club and for the fans.
"But now it is important for me to do well for Newcastle. I am very pleased to be here with my family.
"I remember the feeling of playing here against Newcastle, but it will be better playing for Newcastle with all those fans on my side.
"The club showed confidence in me by bringing me here, and I want to prove to the club and the manager that they were right to bring me here.
"I was at a great club in Marseille, but the opportunity to go abroad and play in the Premier League was something I really wanted to do.
"At Marseille, I had an important role and I was captain - I want to play an important role here at Newcastle too."
