DJ_NUFC 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 f***ed. The last couple of seconds as well with the look to the camera. Poor bloke. This clip man It’s like it’s a football based comedy like The Office, and Bruce a Gervais type character.

Toon No9 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Can't see anything in him that could make him worth £40M. It's very strange that Ashley allowed us to sign him for that money. The chance of him to make any money on him must have been very slim. Hard to see how we could get rid of him now. Who would buy him for any decent fee?

TRon Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 don't even know how to address shite like that anymore, and why the fuck do you care if he was 40m or 4m? No point in addressing it. People who can sit and watch us play the most awful football the Premier has seen in 10 years, then whinge about the striker....they aren't ever going to get it.

Sean Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I still think there is a better player than what we are seeing. If Benitez was in charge or even someone half decent we would have saw more from him. Before people say Benitez didn't want him, it was reported he did like him, but just not worth spending nearly his entire budget on 1 player when the squad is lacking in other areas which has proven to be the case. That said he is not a £40 million player and never will be a £40 million player. I reckon if we bought Rondon as well he would have been a good mentor for Joelinton and would have taken the goal scoring burden off him. I just don't buy this line at all. Rafa wants who Rafa wants. He isn't going to be led by suggestions from other experts ( ) within the club. The whole scenario goes completely against his whole ethos and football vision ffs. He may have given his opinion on the player, he may not have. I mean, who at the club approached him and said "we're trying to buy this guy - what's your take"? There was no communication from them to him, he probably first learned of the interest in the papers at the same time as we all did. I'm not sure where those suggestions came from, probably the press with an agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It was from Caulkin. Newcastle have long been fixated on Joelinton, Hoffenheim’s Brazilian forward, who will cost around £36 million. ‘They pressed the 22-year-old on Benítez, who demurred; he liked the player, but not at anything like that price and, if there was that much money available, why not let him spent it on his own choices?‘ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even less compromise with Nickson would have served him better in terms of avoiding pricey duds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even less compromise with Nickson would have served him better in terms of avoiding pricey duds. Well he might have liked him for £5 million for all that quote gives us (and still would rather spend the money on his own pick, as stated). Never heard about this Muto and Murphy recommendation though. I'm surprised Rafa even agreed to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Needs a goal today or this thread is going to be lifting. No, he needs a goal today because a random poster on here would probably score if in his position. It would be inexcusable for him not to score against Rochdale with the chances he's been getting.

geordiedean Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Just doesn’t look like a centre forward to me. He doesnt look like a footballer let alone a centre forward. I genuinely believe there are lads who play on a sunday after a skin full on saturday who would have performed better today. Hes by far the worst forward weve had in a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Was sympathetic towards him for a while but today - combined with that chance v Leicester - has stopped that. He's barely a footballer and it's hilarious to watch. Don't care how much he was signed for, just sell him for any price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
