Andy Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Might as well just hoy Gayle or Muto up top. Joelinton is offering nowt at the minute as a target man and his confidence is clearly shot, at least Gayle manages to be in the right positions for the odd tap in every now and then.

Andy Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 He's not a target man, never has been. What is he meant to be, then? His only qualities that I've seen are holding the ball up and winning the odd header, but even they're lacking at the moment. His passing isn't great, has no pace, can't dribble or beat a man for shite, wants too many touches, has little to no invention... I'm not sure what kind of player he's meant to be if not a target man. He doesn't have the attributes to play any other role in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 It is definitely Riviere all over again. Except we didn't gamble on the cheap. Ashley must be furious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Our scouts identified him as a player who would go on to increase in value over the long term. Maybe we just need to show some patience. Bruce has got us halfway to safety so that leaves plenty of time for Joe to develop and really kick on next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 If ASM is indeed out for a few weeks maybe it's worth giving him a go on the left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Did House of Fraser have a big wallpaper department? Can't imagine Ashley spending £40M on this lad, unless he had a huge stock Graham & Brown's Superfresco going stale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 40M for a player who can't fucking kick a ball properly when is in front of goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Rafa was bang on with this fella he thought he was absolute shit and he really is 40 fucking million man on a striker who has no attributes a striker should have hes not even anywhere near as good as the Hoss or Shola We have to play Gayle or Muto up front as we simply cannot sustain this whole our forwards cant score model. Our defenders or midfielders cant keep bailing them out and it's likely our top scorer this season may only have 6 to 8 goals and not be a forward and that's unacceptable especially after spending 80m on 3 forwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Would like to see him play on the left with Carroll up top at some point. Might see that this upcoming weekend with ASM likely out. Almiron left, Joelinton right? We all know it’s going to be a straight swap for Atsu though, Almiron still right wing-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We’ll be lucky to get half of the money back for him at this rate though. Guessing his wages will be higher than what the sort of clubs in Germany would pay too. Awful signing. When you think a replacement will cost £20-30m as well he’s been a massive let down. Should have just paid the £16m for Rondon, given Rafa the deal he wanted and backed him. Add 5-6k to the crowd, more shirt sales, etc we’d probably be similarly off financially and on the pitch.

geordie john Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We don't know the real transfer value - allegedly £40 but who knows? There is something seriously, seriously smelly about it though. Joe was a second rate striker in the Bundeslega with a poor goal scoring record. Why would Mike Ashley - who hates paying anything - pay this sort of money?? Apparently Rafa felt he wasn't good enough and worth a fraction of what we paid for him. Joe is blatantly a poor striker. 1 goal in how many games? His performances are little short of shocking. Why Bruce perseveres with him is beyond credibility. So my questions are: What did we REALLY pay for him? How much of this did agents get? Did any of it find its way back to Ashley? This transfer smells, and very badly..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Steve's friends at the Chronicle said it's legit. Steve saw how good Joelinton was and knew he couldn't waste an English second to authorise the move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Ashley has made sure the club have spent jack shit over his time here. Then all of a sudden a £40m outlay is handed out on one player?? The only way that deal went through is with some personal gain to Mike himself. The whole deal is dodgy as fuck and so out of sorts on how the club has been ran the last 12 years. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He must have come free with 40m worth of SAP subscriptions. The deal is very very dubious. You dont pay 40m for a striker who cant shoot or score or do anything a striker does May as well have kept the Hoss as hes miles better than this spud Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
