Gabriel Obertan signs for Anzhi

[Unbelievable]

[Guest reefatoon]

He's absolutely bloody terrible. If this is us putting him in the shop window it's backfired in a big way. Like putting a chocolate fountain in M&S window only to realise too late that it's actually a fountain of s***.

 

Apart from that would be entertaining to watch.

Whatever floats your boat.

Routledge was always a decent football player, Obertan is just a good athlete with hopeless ball skills. He can be useful to push back the opposition when protecting a lead, but is hopeless in any other situation.

 

I still think it's mainly his mental attitude that's the problem, he seems very self-conscious and over-thinks things when he has time. He just needs to find a level or league where he can play every week and get some enjoyment and confidence back. He's clearly never going to make it in a top league, but that's alright as long as he realises.

Should not be even on the bench. Much prefer Sammy (or anyone else) over this oaf.

[Beren]

Don't know how he's got in above Sammy in the pecking order, especially after Pardew went on about promoting English youth and saying Dummett/Sameobi were on the first team fringes.

[DJ_NUFC]

Needs to retire.

[Guest VanBarduck]

Needs to retire.

 

[sempuki]

Needs to retire.

It would be an epic comeback if he was to become even average. Ain't going to happen.

[Dinho lad]

Hope we move him on as soon as possible. Clearly is not going to make it at PL level.

[TaylorJ_01]

What's the story then?

[Shak]

What's the story then?

 

He's shite.

[TaylorJ_01]

What's the story then?

 

He's s****.

 

Apparently stormed out pre-match. Or just fell over and died, again I'm not sure.

[Tooj]

Not sure who's more overrated on here out of Routledge or Best like.

Newcastle star. And he's probably stupid enough to think that.

[Dinho lad]

What the fuck?

[Newcastle Fan]

Never have i seen a more frustrating player in my life.

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

Probably stormed all the way home and just stood outside his house. No end product this lad.

[alexf]

Never had a hope of being involved anyway?

[TaylorJ_01]

Is it a big deal if he left if not in the matchday squad? Are the rest of the 23 there?

[Cajun]

Never have i seen a more frustrating player in my life.

 

Agreed, clearly has technical ability, absolutely fast as fuck but despite clearly having a humungous brain none of it seems to work.

 

That being said if the lad had any thought process in his gargantuan head he would have never left Man U in the first place.

Fergie's autobiography -

 

He was greased lightning. But in the final third of the field, his feet were sometimes all over the place. His task was to coordinate his speed with his brain and deliver the hurt in the final third of the pitch.

 

Nothing has changed.

I saw him going round and round in the revolving door in the players lounge after the match
