Newcastle boss Pardew: De Jong, Cisse will give us goals

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew insists his squad boasts the necessary firepower.

Pardew says his team will be sharper in front of goal after defeat to Manchester City.

"We're still missing Papiss (Cisse) and Siem de Jong, two massive players for us that we've paid a financial outlay on,' he said, when asked if he would be re-entering the transfer market.

"They're big players. So no, I feel once they're in and around the squad we'll score goals.

"We were playing the champions today and sometimes you don't get any shots against the champions. But I thought we had a really good go."
