54 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I don’t regret going to sign for Newcastle. It’s such a big club to go and play for. I spoke to Steve McClaren on the phone and I just liked every word he said and I just couldn’t wait to get up there. I drove up through the night and it took about seven hours but I just loved to get up there. It’s a massive club - in terms of size I’d put it on par with Liverpool. It’s probably one of the best stadiums that I’ve gone to play every week at. The fans just are great. They get behind you and you seen last night exactly what they’re like. They’ve just got the flags back as well in the stadium so it’s tremendous. On manager Rafa, he said: He’s got such a good pedigree in the game, obviously with where he’s been at. He can’t be no fool if he’s been in charge of the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid. He’s lways won trophies wherever he’s gone and that’s something that we want to do at Newcastle. At the minute we’re taking it game by game and step by step and hopefully we can achieve promotion. On his goal yesterday: It’s about time I scored to be honest with you. It’s been well overdue. I think the stat was that I’d had about 31 shots without scoring so it’s about time I scored. We played really well. We started off really well and we pressed and got the early goal, and that always helps you against a team like Brighton, especuially at home. It was a great win. Matt Ritchie wanted it (the free-kick), but I just said ‘no, I’m taking it’. To be fair, it was on his side but I just had a good strong feeling that I was going to score it. As soon as it was given, you can just see me running over to pick the ball up. I just said ‘I’m having it’. He was asked, Is Mitrovic as crazy as he seems?: Yeah. I saw him at the airport this morning. He is just a crazy character. He’s a top man though and he looks about 36 even though he’s only 21. He is a top man and he’ll be a handful in that Championship this year. On the pressure to win the Championship: You’ve got to expect that. It’s our fault that we went down last season and we owe it to the club to get them back into the Premier League. I think that’s why many of us have stayed and are trying to fight for our places in the team to get us back into the Premier League. But you’re playing for Newcastle in the Championship. The club shouldn’t be there, so it’s time for us now to get us back out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He came across quite well I thought. Really hope he pushes on now, his last couple of performances have been very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He maybe just needs someone like Rafa to get the best out of him, seems to love playing for him and Rafa has got him working and becoming consistent, he has the ability, just needs the drive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's in the team ahead of Colback and produced twice as much with the same blood drained complexion. Good for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that, Diame man of the match for me. Great touch, power and poise. Utter class! Wait 'til he's fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Pleased he's coming into things more, just needs to keep his head right and he has the ability.

Depends on what else you're offering at the truck stop I suppose. With your swagger, I'd wager that's at least good for 100 miles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
