Luuk de Jong signs for PSV

[aussiemag]

Yeh inititally I thought he had good target man qualities, but theyve diminished now and he offers nothing.

[Pilko]

Got an assist, still a nothing player though. Can't remember him touching the ball in the second half.

tbf he wasnt on the pitch

[Ryan_Taylor]

 

He really is a shithouse, like. Nothing about him whatsoever.

[Pilko]

I know, I was taking the piss.

[Aiston]

Shola deserves a new contract instead of us spending £8m on De Jong.

 

[Ally]

So poor, he makes Shola look mobile!

[toon25]

Absolute fuckng pony.

[NEEJ]

Cacka.

[Tachikoma]

Armstrong should be starting ahead of him every week.

[Beezeri]

I think it's not De Jong being so bad but Pardew just can't get anything out of the players at the moment! Still I wouldn't pay 8 million for him after this loan

Sky Sports understands that Alan Pardew's side have yet to decide on whether to take up their option on Borussia Monchangladbach striker Luuk de Jong - who has failed to score since joining on loan in January.

 

It's not a difficult decision. The answer is a resounding NO!

[DJ_NUFC]

Please please please let this be the last I hear about him. I had forgotten he'd existed until the bump.

[Ste]

Nah, he hasn't done enough.

[Dokko]

Feel sorry for him. Absolute worst time to join us, underused in a team bang out of form with loads of external pressures making their way on to the pitch. Saying that even with all that going on I expected a lot more. Mentally he's shot, we've not helped this as everyone had hoped and it's going to take some getting back to form, but I'm certain it won't be here unless we get a daft £2-3m offer put to us.

[Ronaldo]

It's been fun, like. An 'international' striker who looks about as dangerous in the box as Alan Smith.

Christ man, the first England international at the new Wembley had Smith & Owen up front. 4 weeks later to be NUFC team mates.

[Cajun]

Would still take him on loan.

 

1) I have said from the half a season isn't enough to judge a player.

 

2) We might have a decent manager.

 

3) If we don't get a decent manager we will need to sign a few strikers which Ashley clearly won't, unless they are really cheap.

[Ronaldo]

What's a decent manager going to do with a striker who can't strike a ball?

[BONTEMPI]

Put him in goal.

[sempuki]

Thought he was promising to start with - especially the lay off for Remy against Villa. Since then he has been poor and looks like a bit of a weakling. We can do better with the money he would cost.

[DJ_NUFC]

Nice thread title change, although not sure if I just noticed it now or giggs.

[Cajun]

What's a decent manager going to do with a striker who can't strike a ball?

 

Buy those special balls they use in Holland where he used to have no problems banging in?

[Ronaldo]

And make an agreement with the other 19 managers to exclusively use Dutch defenders, while he's at it.

[midds]

Must admit I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest we should sign the lad. He may well have talent and ability, he may well have scored goals in Holland but it's bargepole time as far as I'm concerned. He's looked (largely) shit each time I've watched him.
