It is a proper one - he said he felt it was like a knife.

We'll see what happens over the next six months but I certainly wouldn't close any doors.

We've missed Michael when he has been out injured and he was the difference today.

He's [Alan Shearer] the mother hen. He's got to look after them all out on there on the pitch.

We have shown an interest in him; we have made an inquiry. He has the most incredible scoring record in Dutch football. Many people have described him as a young Alan Shearer, but whether that's true or not I don't know.

I'm sure Michael is really looking forward to going back and showing his old public what they are missing. He's exactly what we thought we were getting _ he can sniff goals out of nothing, and that's what makes him such a very, very special player.

I've said that we need to improve our play in the final third and if Luque comes in then he'll help us to do that.

It's been a nice, normal quiet week; it's been life at Newcastle United. But we've got to put it behind us. The important thing is to try and get a result.

Towards the end of last season, Titus was outstanding for us and I have been very happy with Jean-Alain as well.
