Alan Pardew (talking to the Chronicle): "Our policy here has been the same since I’ve been at the club – we have bought players we think have good market value and that means mainly the younger players.
"I’ve had to deal with younger players and some have been massively successful and some haven’t. At the moment we are not having as much success as we’ve had.
"We’ve produced some fantastic players for this club and we need to start producing a few more.
"I didn’t think we were strong enough in the last part of the season and that’s been held against me that I’ve been making excuses, but I just felt that we needed more and we didn’t have it after the loss of (Yohan) Cabaye.
"This club needs big players because we are a big scalp for any team.
"Forget where we are in the league. We need big players and our big players need to stand up.
"We also need to create more big players and that’s what we are trying to do."

David Moyes wants to return to management after being sacked by Manchester United in April, and he is currently top of the bookies list.
It's understood that the Scot would like to manage the Toon - despite their nightmare start to the season.
He's as short as 5/4 to succeed Pardew with BetVictor. Hull boss Steve Bruce is 11/2 while Tony Pulis is an outsider at 7/1.
United taken three points from their opening six games - their worst start to a season since 2003.
The Toon have won only five of their 26 league games since Boxing Day.
WHICH OF THE THREE WOULD YOU PICK?
Tony Pulis
Steve Bruce
David Moyes
