Alan Smith underlined his ability with a powerful headed winner yesterday, while Brazilian centre-half Cacapa will take part in his first training session later today following the completion of his free transfer from French champions Lyon.
After watching yesterday's victory from the directors' box, Spanish full-back Jose Enrique will become Newcastle's seventh summer signing when he completes a £4m move from Villarreal later today.
Allardyce: "I've had an excellent week.
"I've signed three players because the last one should be finished off (later today). Jose Enrique Sanchez will have joined us by (this) afternoon once he's put pen to paper and, with Claudio (Cacapa) and Alan before him, we've added quality, experience and some young potential as well."
