Alan Pardew: "The most important thing for us is the history is heavy on us. What Bobby Robson did here and that great side, we have got to live up to those expectations.
"The financial goalposts have moved a little bit, probably, against us, but that doesn't mean to say we can't compete, and that's what I'm determined to do.
"We have got ourselves into a position, hopefully, in the summer to make some investment that can take this club forward and be stronger.
"The stats have really endorsed what they (Cabaye and Remy) have been to us, but it shouldn't be like that.
"We should be able to spread that across the board a little bit more, and that is definitely a criticism we have to accept.
"I am hoping that the other strikers in the group get some goals and the other creative players in the team create some goals.
"If we can even it out a little bit more, it would make my job a little bit easier.
"Remy and Debuchy will be a big boost for us in terms of their experience at this level and their quality. It's nice to see them back.
"With the World Cup not far around the corner, it's important that they get the time in now."
