Disco Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The lad looks absolutely spent the second he walks out on to the field. Top work by Steve to action this record transfer as a matter of urgency on his arrival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Looks like the type of player who will be absolutely amazing as soon as he leaves. Similar to how anyone could see Thauvin had something and showed it as soon as he was played in the right system/position with a proper coach.

David Edgar Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 He'll be rested. Save him for the survival push, cos you nah, he's so important to us. Where would we be without his goal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to how anyone could see Thauvin had something and showed it as soon as he was played in the right system/position with a proper coach. As a club we also have a disturbing habit of hanging onto players who really shouldn't be anywhere near the top level of the Irish leagues let alone the Prem. Wonder which camp Joelinton will fall into? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Think it's more an issue of not being able to offload the players that shouldn't be anywhere near the top level of the Irish leagues rather than hanging on to them. Who in their right mind would want to sign and match the current wages of players like Cack or Saivet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think he could look decent in a team which knows how to transition the ball from one end of the pitch to the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind would want to sign and match the current wages of players like Cack or Saivet? I'm thinking more about the ones that could actually get on the pitch for us then as soon as they went elsewhere were found out. Gouffran fucked off to Turkey and is such a hit over there the fans have barely even bothered to update his wiki page. Anita went to Leeds and had them not even bother registering him to play then binned off his contract months ago and he's still a free agent. Saylor, Shola, Williamson, Marveaux, Riviere, De Jong.

Guest Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Doing himself no favours but he’s a symptom of Steve Bruce’s Newcastle team. Pay £40m for a player who’s probably in the £20-25m bracket, play him out of position because he’s big, then lump balls to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t look £5m in truth, I’ve no idea what kind of player he is, CH may be a better position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I thought he looked decent against Man U tbh, but he's clearly got zero confidence in anything he does at the minute. Hea got zero footballing ability let alone zero confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 There was a reason Rafa didn't want thim. Widely reported as: Benitez thought he was a good player but given the financial restraints of recuritment felt the money could be better invested elsewhere.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 i'm not saying either way 100%, i see things in him as i diud thauvin/cabella etc. imo worth remembering he's 23 or so, new to the country and playing in a horrible team for a disgrace of a manager before writing his entire career off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 If you spend 40M on a striker you expect him to walk in and start banging them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 If you spend 40M on a striker you expect him to walk in and start banging them in. i don't really see the relevance of this type of comment, £40m means fuck all when you're in a side like ours haller was £40m as well right, how many did he get prior to moyes coming in out of interest? EDIT: 6, is that classed as banging them in? for all that west ham have been shite they're a better attacking unit than us by a mile imo, but then again who isn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 If you spend 40M on a striker you expect him to walk in and start banging them in. Well he wasn't banging them in even before we decided he was worth £40m. Whatever else he is, he's not a goalscorer and never was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I still can’t work out how they came to the conclusion that he was worth £40 million. Something is not right here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 i mean, being objective about it he's had his best season at age 22 with 10 goals in league and cup plus 11 or more assists that season which was better than what he'd achieved in austria on loan from what i can see the assumption from the scouting people must obviously have been he was on the rise and could turn into hot shit then he met steve bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The double-take between 4-5 seconds is where he realised his career in England was fucked. The last couple of seconds as well with the look to the camera. Poor bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
