Guest Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Only rates Trippier around £8m too. Not sure how good that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 At £3m I'd have six of him. In all seriousness, though I always was a big fan, I think we'd be better off looking elsewhere for a player to play his role. I'm sad that it hasn't worked out better for him at Leicester, seemed like the perfect club for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Would have him back under Ashley. Not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 At this moment right now I would take him back because I think he's got something about him that would help us stay up. However its not January anymore and I wouldn't bother bring him back in the summer so that chapter has ended. He was decent and at times was a joy to watch but we are past that.

Interpolic Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Would 100% take him back as a squad player, not that I think it will happen or anything. His ability to play across the front to a decent level would be extremely useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Think we'll have our eyes elsewhere come the summer but we can't just go out and buy a team of galacticos, we need to upgrade every position and have options and he's an excellent one. Would be super happy if he came back for a couple of years as we start to build and played a part, if not a starring role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'd rather sign players on the way up rather than on the way down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I'd have had him this season, but think we'll be wanting to aim higher in the summer, given that sounds like he's regressed since his time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Absolutely not. Unbelievably frustrating player that I could live with because he played an important role and served a purpose in a team regularly struggling to stay up. Much like Rafa, choosing him when you're in a position of being able to potentially choose anyone is just sadism.

I really liked him, he always gave everything, he was versatile and he had good technique. End product let him down and it felt like he didn’t ever reach the level he could have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accepted it and at times liked him because he played such an important part of Rafa's set up and would eventually go on nice runs of form, but it felt like to get there you had to put up with loads of misplaced passes and directionless dribbling that ended up with him losing the ball. It was especially frustrating when paired with us having really low possession. Either way Newcastle should definitely be aiming for better.

This is totally valid, but there were also a couple seasons there before ASM where the only real reason to watch the games was that you might see Ayoze do something cool. He didn't score a ton and he could be frustrating, but he also scored some really slick goals and was the only bright spot in a team of absolute cloggers for a while there. I overrate Ayoze's impact for sure, but he'll always be one of my favorites from that era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Darth Crooks said: I always found the criticism of him being somehow lazy very odd. In all fairness, he did at times have a tendency to make the last bit of movement which would put him in a good position. Say for example he had the ball in a central position, then passed it wide, he wouldn’t make that run into the box behind the defender to receive the ball again. He also suffered by not having a clearly defined position. He wasn’t a forward, yet wasn’t a wide a player. Nor was he a true number 10 either. He’s essentially wasted his career, he could have been so much better. Maybe he never had the right coach, maybe he never had the desire. I don’t know the answer, but I’d like to think that he had the ability to be better. Maybe going back to Spain will help him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 We'll always have that few months of Perez, Rondon, and Almirón to look back on. He was exceptional in that wide #10 role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) He was practically a child with a massive responsibility and massively exceeded his expectations. He left for Leicester under a cloud. He's had his fun and the financial situations make that move look silly but no one can blame him for leaving the old regime. I liked him most of the time. (But I bet I slagged him off in this thread several times :lol:) Edited January 21, 2023 by La Parka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Was one of my favourite players for us during those grim years. Always felt he could have been a great player but maybe it wasn’t ever on the cards or maybe he just needed a manager like Howe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
