Nobody messes with Luque, okay?

He, Valeron, and Tristan were the top-players of Deportivo La Coruna. A bit of an obscure team, but I'd rank them in the top-10 of Europe.
2 years ago they beat AC Milan with 4-0!!! That proves enough, I think.

A shame their best players all left:
Luque (Newcastle)
Pandiani (Birmingham)
Fran (quit)
Mauro Silva (quit)
Makaay (Bayern)

The same happened with Porto, after they won the Cl:
Paulo Ferreira, Carvalho, Mourinho (Chelsea)
Luis Fabiano, Benny McCarthy (somewhere)
Seitaridis, Costinha, Maniche (Dinano Moskou)
Nuno Valente (Everton)
Deco (Barça)
and more left

But Newcastle has a pretty good team now: Parker, Emre, and Luque on the mid-field, Boumsong and Babayaro in the defense, and Owen/Sheared have proofed what they can, I think.
