David Ginola: “The six French players in the dressing room will have a big impact.
“It’s great for the fans to have these players come in, as they’re very exciting players. Cabaye won the double last year, and will be a big player.
“They’re in fourth place, and it would be unbelievable to see them back in Europe.
“When I turned up I was a Frenchman – a stranger on my own in the city – but I was made to feel very welcome, and I loved it.
“I knew the fans were special the moment I joined Newcastle. I knew I would have a rapport with them.”
