I think someone hit the nail on the head earlier when they said that sometimes he's one step ahead of everyone else. It's really fun to watch him spray passes around but they sometimes don't hit their mark - but not by any fault of his own. We need to get more players on the pitch that can read it as quickly as him. Also the more he plays the more the other players will expect certain passes.
I've been a huge advocate of Anita's for a long time and I'm glad to see it all finally coming to fruition for him here at Newcastle.

Stuff like that is great from Orlando City, glad to see the youth program bearing some actual fruit.
Nice!
It's not like there are loads of outstanding franchises in other leagues that deserve to be in the MLS but it's such a smack in the face to the clubs that are trying and being thrown to the wayside by big spenders like Man City and David Beckham.
You think so? People still going to games, not having to buy players, a consistent supply of three teams that are worse than us and pockets that just get fatter and fatter. I don't think he's bothered in the slightest.
Unfortunately I agree.
Orlando City made an announcement on a "huge signing" by teasing with the line "the captain of a South American national team!" - turns out it was the Bolivian national team.
Anything close to £20m is a pretty good deal really. Another season in a Pardew team and he would have been worth less than £10m. We should thank our lucky stars PSG have suddenly come into money because no English club would have spent anywhere close to that because he's not really built for English football.
Which says more about our club than the others, considering he is frequently the best player on the pitch for us.
