Another free agent after his departure from Real Madrid, the Spaniard would certainly bring a wealth of experience to Tyneside, as well as a winning mentality. He's been the pick of the bunch for a number of the Geordie faithful for a while now and he would fit nicely into the way Mike Ashley works. The 55 year old spent six seasons at Anfield, winning the FA Cup and Champions League in that time, and also had a brief stint at Chelsea, where he guided them to Europa League glory. He has managed at the top level in a number of the major European leagues throughout his illustrious career and his presence would be a major factor in attracting big-name players to Tyneside if he was given the chance.
