Newcastle United's Worst-Ever Premier League XI

17. SUB 6 - Xisco

Newcastle United: 2008-13

Nationality: Spanish

Position: Forward

Cost: £5.7 million (Signed from Deportivo La Coruna)

Premier League Appearances: 9

Premier League Goals: 1

Signed for £5.7 million against Kevin Keegan's will, Xisco scored on his debut but then made just eight further Premier League appearances for Newcastle as he was loaned out.

Partially blamed by supporters for facilitating Keegan's second resignation, Xisco's time on Tyneside was an unhappy one to say the least. A strange, strange transfer.
