loki679 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The harder he kicks a football, the further away from the target it goes. Breed him with Luuk de Jong and the offspring could hit a bacteria with a ball bearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/21/christian-atsu-newcastle-rafael-benitez Nice piece. Does seem like a very, very good egg. If Atsu ain't your thing, fans of people talking about how great Rafa is will also enjoy the article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newintoon Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/21/christian-atsu-newcastle-rafael-benitez Nice piece. Does seem like a very, very good egg. If Atsu ain't your thing, fans of people talking about how great Rafa is will also enjoy the article. Good article, seems like a good guy. I think Rafas sees him as one of the first names on the team sheet at the moment he was rested for Blackburn Home, away and the Watford cup matches. Really he’s got the only bit of pace on the break we have had and ideally I’d like to see both him and Almiron start matches together till the end of the season. Obviously his end product still needs a lot of work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Day Gadgie Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Who on earth is the guy commenting underneath? Saying, “i was critical of Atsu’s charity work in a previous post” No idea what he’s on about, but i find it amazing that someone has nothing better to do than criticising someone else’s charity commitments online. World’s fucked... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I like him me. Not many clubs around us have as solid a back up as him on the wings. Has made a real positive impact numerous times this season. Quality squad player, much better than the likes of Adama Traore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 He's alright but he's not got a goal or an assist this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Aye but he still makes an impact, pushes teams back, provides threat on the break when we're trying to hold onto a result. It's a valuable role imo. Many players would have spat their dummy out at such a bit-part role. Never hear anything negative about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He needs to be sold to a championship team, he's not even a squad player at this level. Runs around gamely enough, but has about as much cutting edge as a banana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He's our only real outlet beside Almirón. Not saying he's any good, but in terms of attacking players with pace to just carry the ball to relieve pressure we've got no one else. Almirón will be such a miss for the Liverpool game.

TRon Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Gor nothing against the lad, he puts a shift in, just isn't good enough at this level, even as a sub. Rafa has been complaining about exactly this, we lose a couple of players to injury and we've got nothing to come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 He’s been a solid buy from his loan in the championship to some performances last season but he’s a consistent 6 out of 10 player. If we don’t want to be a team that’s just staying up we need a better alternative. I was hoping it was going to be Murphy to take his place but it seems he needs more game time.
