merlin Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Has looked better than Gosling and Abeid in the few cameos he has made. Can actually dribble and looks like he has creativity, which is more than can be said about the other two. Gosling is a waste of space...would get rid.

STM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Funny old business this. He's 23 isn't he? And we are not giving him a game. So either we are treating him like a 17 year old for development reasons or we just don't rate him, odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Very odd. He looked lively and technically very sound in his little cameos. Came close to scoring a few times as well. Does he get run outs for the dev squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 His English is very poor which is what could be holding him back in Pardew's eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The only thing I can think of is that he looks ridiculously lightweight. Even more so than Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 There was all this talk of "he will not be ready for the first team for a year" banta that was going around. I imagine this has something to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either we are treating him like a 17 year old for development reasons or we just don't rate him, odd. How lowly can we rate him that he couldn't even be given a game against Brighton, not even off the bench? I mean we were pretty much throwing in the towel for that game anyway. Seriously, even Xisco should have pleayed in that, or be given an appearance. At least they're both a bit older, and actually have experience of playing full season's of football. Pardew is just screwing up as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's weird when football clubs totally disregard players, I've never understood the point of it. Most managers do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The funny thing is Brighton are not just a championship side, but a pretty lightweight one, they're not physical at all, and play an open game. Why wouldn't this guy make an appearance against such a team? Doesn't make much sense at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Brighton are anything but lightweight. El-Abd, Hoskins, M-Smith and even their goalkeeper is buff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Of all the things to be getting worried about at the moment surely this has to be bottom of the pile. If he hadn't have been free he wouldn't be a Newcastle player, we took a very low risk chance on him, to date it doesn't seem to have worked out but given that he is young and foreign this isn't a surprise as it takes a while settle. If he hasn't proved it by this time next year get rid for what will probably be for break even or a small profit given his probable low wages.

Dan Gleebals Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I was on my honeymoon on the Amalfi coast staying in Positano - when he signed. Thought that was a positive sign, clearly not. Suprised he is not even getting the squad. Clearly not all they thought he was for one reason or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Its strange that Sammy etc get a chance and not a supposedly more experienced player - albeit in french 2nd division it must be better that the experience Sammy has and he looks a clever player on and off the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
