Wallsendmag Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 i see him as a key player for us this season...mainly because of his pace. Rather sell Ritchie... Done for pace a few times on Saturday by the Swansea full back a few of us noticed on Saturday. Because he's small and nippy people mistake that for raw pace which he doesn't have. If he's a key player for us we're in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Always amazed how so many get rattled by a differ in opinion. Yeah hes been fairly good this season. But, all I hear is championship squad and players worst in the league etc. So again if it was a good offer, I already said I dont think any fucker is indispensable if its the right price. And Im thinking how Rafa will get players in? Hes gonna need to accumulate from somewhere if nobody buys the players he doesnt want? Nobody would part ex with Hernandez then?

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 100%, but that's never going to be offered to us in a million years. We can't just go about selling our better players willy nilly, no matter how average they are, they're still amongst our better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I would take 20 million for him if there was any hope in Rafa getting the full whack to reinvest, both aspects of that statement are fanciful so just knock back the offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 You are probably right on the swap, it rarely happens these days. Just puzzled many wouldnt be bothered to see the back of Shelvey, but Atsu get a lot of backing. Anyway each to their own.👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to disagree with what you say because the stats back you up and I'd have to agree with you and say we are better with him in the side. I just don't think he's as fast as people think, certainly there's a few times I've noticed recently where the full back has had the edge on him for pace. Going off topic slightly, as things stand him and Murphy are our two best wingers and I found it strange that Murphy sat the Swansea game out at the expense of an out of sorts Richie. Agree. Also agree Murphy should have replaced Ritchie with 15-20 min to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 One of our best players imo. He's erratic but he's a genuine threat. First proper season in the PL too really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thought he was appalling tonight Yep. Looks a bit brainless and scared to go at players. Still not having that he is fast and he never gets hold of his shots or crosses. I think despite all of that, he is one of our better attacking players. Not saying much, granted Kenedy and Murphy should be starting ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymag Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Totally lacking in composure going forward and when defending today. Seems to be going backwards and what's the problem with his quads, both legs taped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 There was a couple of moments he could have just run up the pitch with the ball instead was looking to get rid of it as if it might explode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Atsu was a fine sub and perfect for a match like this (i.e. similar to West Ham away) he just wasn't as good and Shelvey should still have finished his admittedly under-hit pass.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 http://www.nufc.com/ Atsu will miss the remainder of the season following knee surgery. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/christian-atsu-miss-rest-season-14617103 “Atsu has had an operation on his knee to be sure that he will be fine for the next year,” Benitez confirmed today. “It wasn’t a big issue but he had some discomfort and we needed to fix the problem now to be sure that next year he is fine.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Shame he couldn’t play on last 2 or today, he’s sort of the perfect rotation attacker that has produced for us when we’ve needed him to in 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
