He has revealed he will use Tino and Nobby as inspiration as he bids to become a St James's Park favourite.

South Americans Daniel Cordone, Christian Bassedas, Fumaca and Diego Gavilan all failed to deliver ... but Clarence Acuna, Nobby Solano, Tino Asprilla and the Robledo brothers have all been successful at St James' Park.

Gutierrez: "I know a lot about Tino Asprilla and Nobby.

"I have watched them play - Nobby has been in Argentina so he is well known.

"If I can be as popular as them it would be great.

"As a team though we have to do much better than last year.

"The weather is also no problem - it is more beautiful to play football in Newcastle!"

"Jose Enrique will be a big help. It makes it easier to adapt to the life.

"He told me what to expect too. I'm very happy to be here.

"It's a big club and there are a lot of big players here.

"Now I just can't wait to play in the Premier League.

"I like Kevin so much already. He talks like he is one of the players but also has the respect.

"That's good for me because I am new here and I want to settle quickly.

"I heard what Kevin has said and I want to repay him and the fans."
