TRon Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 He was happy to sign a new contract playing for Steve Bruce, I think that says everything. Not that I blame him, I'd do the same, but that doesn't mean I should be playing for Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 8 hours ago, GeordieDazzler said: Just a player for whom Howe arrived to late to save. Clearly talented and could be a difference maker as we saw under Rafa. But he was just too willing to coast along when the coaching was bad and rarely took the initiative to improve his own situation. He was quite a key player in that run in the second half of last season He just got unlucky to have got injured this season and was surplus to requirements Think Howe would have kept him if he could but the Forest deal was too good to turn down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I hope his availability doesn't drag on in the summer, just for us to sign him back on the last day because we couldn't secure our CM targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that was coming, and the same would apply to them. They had a higher ceiling and will be harder to upgrade. All of them were not exactly attracting attention from the big clubs at the time for different reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 dont get the hate for jonjo. may not have been the greatest or the most consistent but the other players all seemed to love him. didnt mind him at all but it was time to move on. some of the abuse has been quite personal.

Shearergol Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I personally think he’s shite. Schar was the better passer anyway. He was a massive problem for us when he played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club will need to sell players and replace with better if they wish to improve. Not really groundbreaking info! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Whilst we didn't replace him, it was a minor miracle that another team not only wanted to take on his wages, but give him a pay rise All of that, and I don't even think he's started more than 3/4 games for them has he?

Been an idiot on the pitch for us a few times but clearly “gets” the club. Don’t understand the hate either tbh as much as I’m glad he isn’t our player anymore. Wish him well.

It's never been hate IMO, why would you hate him? I used to be just as vocal on here about Colback and Nicky Butt back in the day because I like my CM's to be able to pass and move. They could all do the pass bit, it was the other part which was problematic. Other than that I'm sure Jonjo's a canny lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) aye , and people saying they actually "hate" him. i just dont like the personal abuse players get on here, where its joelinton, miggy, murphy etc. it just doesnt sit right. just something i really cant stand. i know they get paid well and are living their dreams, but still... criticise them by all means.

Theregulars Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 There were so many worse players than him and players less arsed than him. As his resident fan I concede with hindsight we didn’t need him. But I will always pay money to watch him spray long passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm so pleased that Forest stayed up, someone there must have been on the take giving us so much money for worthless players. £15m for Chris Wood ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
