Theregulars Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I went to the game today and for the first half saw a lot of Jonas as I was sat on the edge of the flank he was on. While his quality is doubtless - setting up both goals - I thought he looked thoroughly disinterested, not celebrating the goals, not tackling back and defending like he did last year, not using his burst of pace. He just seems a bit lifeless, but knows he's too good for this league so occasionally does something outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Give him space and he's pretty damn amazing, in this league anyway. Sad to see but he appears to be a bit secluded from his teammates at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Sheff Wed all of the team celebrated with Shola whereas he just went to Coloccini and they had their own little chat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been told by Hughton to not track back to have more of a threat up the other end when we break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Radical Boy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 http://goal.com/en/news/1706/barcelona/2009/08/21/1453526/jonas-gutierrez-could-sign-for-barcelona-in-the-following Jonas Gutierrez Could Sign For Barcelona In The Following Hours The Argentine international could be on his way to the European champions... Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez could reinforce Barcelona in the next few hours, if negotiations between both clubs prosper. Gutierrez, 26, has been looking for a move away from Newcastle United, in order to improve his chances of participating in the 2010 World Cup with Argentina. The Argentine admitted that he would be overjoyed to sign for Barca. "The truth is they are a great team. They already demonstrated this last season by winning everything. For one, to be part of a great team is always a dream, to play with great players. But, right now it is something I try not to think about. I'm only thinking of Newcastle. But obviously, to play there is a dream for any player," said Gutierrez. "They are a club who are doing things very well, they have great players and any player would like to play for this team," he insisted. Gutierrez, who is a starter with the Argentine national team, believes he is a versatile player who can adapt to any kind of circumstances, and whether he remains at Newcastle or moves to the Catalans isn't of great concern to him. "One tries to accommodate himself to what he needs, or to the coach, or to the team, or at the team where one plays. If I am asked to play as a side-back, one tries to do the best possible, always trying to progress. They are two positions that aren't too different to one another," affirmed the player. In recent weeks Diego Maradona stated that playing at Newcastle United won't affect Gutierrez's position in the national team, if of course, he continues to play at a high level.

Ah I see, it's a communication problem, his team mates have never shouted for him to cross the ball before. Keep shouting lads and we'll see a new productive Jonas this season.

KaKa Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Why would Barca want Jonas when they already have Hleb?? Hleb is a million miles better. If Jonas was at Arsenal and Hleb had come to Newcastle I doubt you would make that statement. Ironically, Hleb was allergic to crossing and shooting also, but is far weaker and has far less workrate. If Jonas had the luxury of being surrounded by the types of players Hleb was at Arsenal it wouldn't be a contest imo. There is a reason Hleb flopped so monumentally at Barcelona and is now back at Stuttgart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
