He made just five Premier League appearances and scored a solitary goal but his arrival at Newcastle is credited with sparking the club's descent into chaos and ultimately their relegation.
Xisco: 'I have nothing to prove to people in Spain.
'But I have to show Newcastle fans what I can do. It has been very hard for me. I never thought my first season in the Premier League would be anything like this.
'I thought I'd made the right decision.
'Everyone knew Newcastle was a historic team with great fans, great players and a lot of money. No-one thought Newcastle would go down.
'There were so many problems. At first it was like a small snowball, then the problems rolled, they got bigger and bigger. When it was time to wake up it was too late. I am sad for everyone because the Newcastle fans are amazing.'
Xisco barely spoke to Keegan. 'We'd say hello, that was about it.
'When Kinnear came in, there was nothing for me.
'On Monday morning I knew I would not be playing on Saturday. When you train well you expect a chance but there was nothing. There was no communication between us. He never said you've trained well or you've trained bad or you have to be like this or that.
'I was very angry. The most important thing is respect. I felt they didn't care if I trained well or badly.
'I don't know what I will do.
'They don't know what they want, what will happen, who is the manager, nothing. I have to wait for a call to see if they want me or if they want me to go on loan.
'It has been a difficult season and I don't want to repeat it. I need to play. If I don't play at Newcastle, then I have to find another team. I am young and two years without playing is bad for me.
'I don't want that. I love England and Newcastle is a nice city to live in.'
