Kevin Keegan says he wants to bring the thrills back to St James' Park by re-living the excitement of the mid-1990s by making Argentina winger Jonas Gutierrez his first summer signing.
If Gutierrez does what David Ginola did back in 1996 ... the Mags will have no complaints.
Gutierrez ... The New Ginola?

Jonas, nicknamed 'Spider-Man' because of his distinctive goal celebrations, has joined the Magpies from Spanish side Real Mallorca on a five-year deal for a fee said to be £9m.
The 24-year-old - he celebrates his 25th birthday on Saturday - played for Argentina in the 0-0 draw with Brazil on July 18th
Keegan: "Jonas is a wonderful signing for us.
"I know a lot of other clubs have been interested in him. He will be a terrific addition to the squad.
"He is an exciting player and I'm sure our fans will enjoy watching him."
Gutierrez: "I cannot tell you how excited I am to be joining Newcastle United.
"The Premier League is a great place to play and I cannot wait to meet my new team-mates and prove myself to the Newcastle United fans."
As we all know, Keegan brought David Ginola to the club and his flair lit up St James Park.
The French international made an immediate impact on Tyneside, and we can only hope Gutierrez does the same.
