He will be remembered as possibly the wankest striker in recent memory to have worn our shirt.

 

Michael Bridges was pretty shit aswell!

 

Bridges spent most of his time for us out wide, if memory seves.

Remember getting some shit for this at the time, but that's exactly what happened.

 

I know it's seriously early days, but De Jong looks like a bit of a dud, that first big chance he had where he was clean through and inexplicably turned and ran straight into a load of their players was seriously depressing. I guess he's low on confidence given what's happened following his last move, but it doesn't look like coming to us has snapped him out of it like often happens, reckon he'll have a disappointing time for us and we'll end up not signing him in the summer. That's just a gut feeling, hope it's wrong.

 

It's really depressing when you get a feeling like that and you just know that things are going to turn out badly, guess we've all had too many of them for far too long really. :(

Never going to look at his best in a Pardew team with no confidence, discipline or attacking intent, however you would at least expect to see some flashes of a good player if he indeed was one, and barring a 10 minute spell on his debut he showed absolutely nothing.

 

Sometimes the loan system is a handy tool, imagine if we had shelled out 8 million for him?

Not saying he's an ace striker but totally losing his confidence must be a big factor like. Especially when he has to play a different role in a team in freefall.

I'd still take him on a season long loan if it didn't stop us signing someone better. We aren't going to sign all the strikers we need and I really do think there is some quality in there. We were pretty much safe when he signed, if we wanted a proper look at the lad he should have started every game he was fit for rather than playing Cisse or Shola.
