A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to their club announcing the signing of Nabil Bentaleb.
The Toon have moved very quickly to secure the Algerian’s signature – he could make his debut in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Is Bentaleb going to make a difference for Newcastle?
Yes
No
Bentaleb made 97 appearances for FC Schalke, where he scored 19 goals and nine assists, but this season, he found himself frozen out, and now he has the opportunity to make a statement in the top-flight.
Certainly, these Toon fans are pleased to get Bentaleb signed.

What do we think?
Newcastle’s move for the 25-year-old broke yesterday, and just over 24 hours later, they have announced his signing.
Bentaleb has Premier League experience and joins the club on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy.
The Algerian international said that it was attracted to an interesting project on offer and the fact that Steve Bruce seems to have confidence in him.
Bruce himself sounded delighted to secure Bentaleb’s signature and believes that he can make an immediate impact.
