I also like him, he never hides and clearly works hard on the ditch.  It's just a shame that he's always possessed by the spirit of Obertan just before that final pass/shot.

He carries a genuine attacking threat, he’s dangerous to the opposition, but his final ball and poor shooting technique lets him down. I like him tough, but he’s not good enough and never will be. He’d tear it up in the Championship!

If we make a signing he won't make the 25. He has no end product, poor composure, yesterday his passing and control were atrocious. He does well at times when moving us up the pitch, but usually fails when it comes to releasing the ball (there was an opportunity with Fraser yesterday where he just got it totally wrong).

Matt Ritchie is currently in the 25 so I think Jacob will make it. 

[The Butcher]

He's fast. That's it. Not a PL player in a million years. 

[Flip]

Need to get rid of this guy. Can't even do a job against this League 2 side.

[Skeletor]

I've said it for years. He's all athleticism and no ability.

[duo]

he hasn't progressed - at all. Fair enough under Bruce - no one did.  But under Eddie - looks the same player.

Shame. Seems a likeable lad but nowhere near good enough even as a sub. 

[TRon]

One of the most embarrassing performances I've seen from an NUFC player in a long time. Looked like a rabbit in headlights for most of the game.

[AJ9]

He's weak, his decision making is awful, he hides, and he doesn't even put a shift in. He should be absolutely embarrassed by that performance.

[Kid Icarus]

He needs to go but I can't see him agreeing to.

[Guest reefatoon]

Yeah he is terrible. Can’t see too many wanting to take him off our hands either.

Six year deal by those absolute cretins in charge.

[Guest]

He had the full 90s minutes and I honestly thought he had came off at half time for Lewis >.<

[samptime29]

Very disappointed with him tonight.

[The Butcher]

6-year deal. 

 

He'll be 32 when it expires. 32. Worse than Pardew's 8-year deal this.

Why did we do that? ? 

[The Butcher]

He's never done anything of note in the PL, yet we gave him that fucking mental contract. 

 

Annoys the living shite out of me that one

[Aiston]

Absolutely trash player, League Two is above his level.

[Ginola]

He's shit

[JumpersForGoalposts]

Absolute waste of a shirt at the club right now. Was shit when we signed him and he's been nothing but shit since. No place at our club for dross like this. He might be a nice lad, but he clearly doesn't listen at all to the coaching staff, because his game hasn't improved one jot in all of the years he's been here. He can get to fuck with his negative play too, doesn't even try to do the right thing. Having absolute gash like him at the club actually harms our reputation and makes us less attractive to decent players.

 

Just loan him out to anyone. Cover his wages if needs be. How much does it cost to terminate someone's contract? Do you have to pay it up in full?

Couldn't agree more.

I think Obertan is the best comparison for me. Has the tools in terms of fitness, athleticism and some technique. Does a few nice things in buildup.

 

But is absolutely dogshit in key moments, doesn't have it mentally to win and just always picks the wrong option and/or fails to execute.

 

I don't hate him because he tries and cares, but he is awful and I can't wait until he plays for someone else.

Because if you have a player, you don't have to sign a player. Genius really.
