Newcastle manager Steve Bruce, speaking to Sky Sports: "You get to my age and you don't get excited very often. If you are born here, to get the opportunity to manage the club is something that is right up there. A highlight of a very long career.
On Joelinton: "He is your typical big number nine with pace and power. Like all the new players, can you adapt? We hope so. He has all the attributes to be a big fan favourite."
On the difficult situation at Newcastle: "Every manager, a result helps a situation. It has been a difficult summer but a result will go some way to putting that right and help."
