Jonás Gutiérrez (now managing Club Almagro)

[Guest Haris Vuckic]

Sad bastard

[Unbelievable]

Looking forward to the same when Shola leaves in June, him being loyal and likable and everything

 

There's no chance he's leaving man. We've been here before.

 

Fair enough, i think he will

 

There's just no chance Jesus will let that happen. There'll be 2 days before his contract is due to expire, talks with Remy will go south, Cisse will be off to the Middle East, and Shola will be sat there, eating his apple, ready to sign another 1 year extension for 10 quid a week.

 

He will leave, then we will re-sign him on a free at the beginning of the season.

 

Wouldn't surprise me one bit actually. This club

[Nobody]

Some sour buggers on this place tbh. Looking at the example of Kevin Nolan; another limited player imo who had some cracking moments. He'll get warmly remembered for giving a pasting to the mackems and along with him Jonas was a massive part of the reason we were promoted so easily. Why not be sad to see him go?

 

Nee room for cult heroes on here. If you're not mint you're shite.

That's not at all true. I have never rated the bloke though (except for the Championship season, he was fine there), been saying for about two years that we needed to upgrade on him. Of course I wish him well, especially as he's going to Hughton who I like very much, but I'm not the least bit sad to see the back of him. Don't go to games, but if I were to come over and watch him play against us, I'd give him a warm welcome.

[ponsaelius]

He's a great guy and was actually a big contributor in the promotion and then 5th placed season, probably playing more games than anybody over those 3 seasons.

 

I've fucking hated a lot of our players so its nice to feel like you like one of them when they leave. Admittedly helped by not being a 'greedy cunt' (aka NO-speak for good player being sold) but still quite sad to see a likeable character leave.

 

I'd still rather have him than shitebulb as well like.

[colinmk]

Yep agree with all that Sewelly. 

[Teasy]

This thread should be so much more fun ...

 

Predictions on goals and assists by season's end for example.

 

I'm saying 4 goals and 5 assists, and becoming and another stick to flog the impotent Pardew with.

 

He might get those stats if we'd loaned him to a League One club.

 

Love Gutierrez BTW so I'm not having a go at him.  Just saying he doesn't really get goals or assists, certainly not in this league.

 

I'll miss the bloke as a character and wish him well, but I can't say I'm unhappy because this means their's no chance of him being in our side again.

[Hanshithispantz]

I think he'll get a goal for them, probably on his debut. Not a chance he'll get an assist.

[Yorkie]

Really can't see what he's going to offer in a relegation scrap. The fact that he started 34 league games last season was one of the reasons why we finished 16th.

 

Will always have a lot of time for Jonas, though. He's a useful player for simply recycling possession and holding onto a lead. I appreciated his contribution to our promotion and subsequent consolidation in the Premier League. Now is the correct time to move him on.

[Nobody]

Btw, how does people think the "good pro" fits with his constant diving? I know "all" players does it, but IMO it's not what a professional player should be doing.

[Yorkie]

How many times has he properly dived though, Ashley Young style? Not many, I don't think. He's languid, awkward and has an unorthodox running style - and forces a lot fouls because of this. He goes down very soft, without a doubt, but I don't think he really cons the ref that much.

He's a master of the Steven Gerrard Fall.

[Wullie]

Even how shit he was last season is overstated given the position he was being played in, as a wide forward. I never saw him put in a poor performance in a central three.

 

Let's stick Anita in the position that Jonas played all season and see how he gets on. It's not fair to call him worse than shite when we've all known for years that even in the second tier, his attacking contribution was lacking in comparison to others, yet the manager was practically playing him up front all season.

Blows my mind, that.

I adored Jonas as part of a central three.

 

Just don't understand Pards man.

[Guest]

I still think Jonas was a better wide man than central midfielder. He was always a crap passer but his strength was the ability to run with the ball. Yeah he was good for a half dozen games or so as part of that three man midfield, but so too did Geremi, Butt & Barton in a very similar spell a few years earlier. Love Jonas, but he was never a central midfielder.

[Nobody]

Agree with Nut. Think if he would have been played more at CM, his weak passing and rubbish tackling would have been exposed.

Haha..just seen the video. The players would be missing him the most i imagine.

Jonas tells press he has no idea why he wasn't playing for Newcastle. PARDEW told him in December to "find a new club" #ncfc #nufc

Sometimes it's best to just move on, the team had moved on without him and there wasn't looking like a way back for him and he'd be an expensive squad memeber to have. Stuff about the contract maybe true, who knows, but end of the day, the right decision has been made to let him look elsewhere and get rid.

Not good enough Jonas lad, not anymore anyhoo.

[Disco]

One more for Ronaldo...

 

KEVIN Keegan wasn’t usually lost for words. But he was the day after Jonas Gutierrez signed for Newcastle United.

 

That was everything to do with events off the field at St James’s Park in the summer of 2008 – Xisco was to prove a less welcome arrival before the end of the transfer window – and nothing to do with the winger himself.

 

Keegan, however, had a lot to say about Gutierrez after a memorable Premier League debut against Manchester United five and a half years ago.

 

Jonas Gutierrez: Why I had to leave Newcastle

 

Emotional Jonas Gutierrez bids farewell to Newcastle on Twitter

 

Gutierrez – who this week joined Norwich City on loan for the rest of the season – ran the length of the Old Trafford pitch and was denied a one-on-one with Edwin van der Saar by a superb tackle from Nemanja Vidic.

 

Keegan knew a thing or two about wingers, having signed David Ginola, Keith Gillespie and Scott Sellars during his first spell as manager.

 

He added: “I think the fans are going to love him. I know what Newcastle fans like. They’re just going to fall in love with this guy, as they have many others before him.”

 

Certainly Gutierrez headed to Norfolk with the best wishes of United fans. What he lacks in guile, he more than makes up for with graft. If anyone was physically capable of giving 110 per cent, it was the man dubbed “Spider-Man” for his famous masked goal celebration.

 

Gutierrez, under contract at St James’s Park for another 18 months, only scored 11 goals in 195 appearances. That’s not a great return for a winger.

 

But he is a peculiar kind of winger. He is nothing like Ginola, Gillespie or Sellars, players who drifted in and out of games, but could win a match with a moment of brilliance.

 

Gutierrez, statistically, didn’t deliver many goals and assists in the final third of the pitch, though the free-kicks he won were important.

 

But he never went missing. He gave the team shape and protected the full-back behind him. Gutierrez was a player who was more often than not missed when he wasn’t in the starting XI. His work was unappreciated by some, but not his team-mates and managers.

 

Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, his former Argentina team-mate, even said: “Jonas is one of the best players in the league.”

 

High praise indeed from a four-times Ballon d’Or winner.

 

Gutierrez was an important figure – on and off the field – in the club’s Championship promotion season and subsequent Premier League campaigns.

 

Should the 30-year-old – who has been reunited with former United manager Chris Hughton at Carrow Road – leave Newcastle on a permanent basis in the summer, he can walk out of the door with his head held high.
