Optimistic Nut Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 A few similarities between him and Miggy I think. Very one-footed, grafted, end product should have been a whole lot better, love them both to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 3 minutes ago, Pata said: He was top class in many ways. Attitude, ability to carry the ball and go past players and buy free kicks. Shame he wasn't that talented in kicking the ball but doubt he would've played for us if that was the case. Will always remember him fondly. Agree. He also had a great partnership with Enrique.

TRon Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Keegan's comment when asked about Jonas's spiderman mask which he kept in his shorts then whipped out when he scored...."It must start to smell a bit" or words to that effect. I know that was a backhanded dig at his shooting prowess, but for where we were at the time he was actually one of our better players just because he could carry the ball up the pitch.

mattypnufc Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Still a much better winger than Miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 My favourite player when he was here despite us having better players. Love the guy until today. One of my top has his name on the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 An incredibly likeable player. Completely agree with the Miggy comparisons. If he was with us now we’d be having the same discussions that we do about Miggy. Jonas’s ability at striking a ball was so poor. In my top ten Newcastle players of my lifetime. We should do a thread on our top ten favourite players irrespective of their ability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 He was beautifully frustrating Jonas like. Feel he had a bit more going on upstairs than miggy does but both woeful in the shooting stakes His penchant for winning fouls and breaking up play was first class mind.

joeyt Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 He came back from cancer and was our best player for half a season to stop us getting relegated. And Ashley forced John Carver to ring Jonas to tell him he wasn't staying. Truly awful bloke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be misremembering but I'm sure he had a clause in his contract where he'd get an extension if he played a certain amount of games. And once that clause had expired Carver played him every game and he was one of our better players in an albeit dreadful team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) loved Jonas. wasn’t exactly top drawer quality but you always got 100% shift from him, and he cared. A born fighter Edited March 29 by dave s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
