BlueStar Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Also bear in mind prior form On 1 September 2008, Gonzales joined Newcastle United on loan until the end of the season. This move was the final straw for the latter's manager Kevin Keegan, who claimed he was forced to sign the player by executive director Dennis Wise after only seeing him play on YouTube, and believing the former was not good enough for the team A Premier League tribunal confirmed in October that the loan signing had been against manager Keegan's wishes, and was in breach of his contract, resulting in a compensation payout to the manager. The deal was reportedly done by Wise and Mike Ashley as a "favour" for two South American agents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Some decent comments from Steve, there. Of all the examples of foreign players struggling he chooses Veron, though? Wasn't it injuries with him (as opposed to being rubbish)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Brewcie says he hopes that Joelinton didn't hear the abuse directed at him during the Rochdale game.............I hope he did bloody hear it and gets his finger out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 19 games without a goal is shocking. Needs dropping, loaned out or sold. Take the hit, move on. Whatever talent he has it won't come out in this environment, not after that shite start, there's no way back for him. Feel sorry for him but Ashley must be gutted, so not all bad.

Just a propheteer Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hope he gets a goal or 2 today and next weekend. Stick it to the morons who abuse him but won't say a word about Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyn davies Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 maybe he was bought to get the fans in, Asda do the same with their fuel sell it cheap but gets the punters to shop in their shops, called a loss leader or something along those lines.

LV Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Ashley has completely stitched him by paying £40m for him. The deal stinks to high heaven and this guy is the fall guy for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASDA don’t actually lose money on fuel, they are just quick to pass on the reduction in price of fuel to customers. Yes it’s done to get people into ASDA stores, but they don’t lose money on it, they just don’t profit as much as other petrol stations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 got a bit of a bollocking off matty longstaff second half for just standing around rather than trying to press/intercept the ball. i think the injury MAY explain that to some extent.

KaKa Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He's become the scapegoat in a devastatingly ugly and ineffective team. Good luck to him climbing out of that hole. Almiron has managed to climb out of a similar predicament from earlier this year. It wasn't long ago people had started on him, claiming he was shite because he never scored or assisted. Maybe a goal gets this guy excited to play again. It's going to be very tough for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 that's a fair summation of him and the situation, though for me OTT on the workrate thing when i've seen him he starts out grafting but his head seems to drop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hes doing the same thing with Joelinton now. He has to play through the pain barrier against Wolves and is asking to play again. He has played every match since Christmas surely he needs a rest as does Fernandez and maybe Dubravka. You can't complain about the tough schedule then do nothing to work around it.

Raconteur Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 That quote is horrific. The club employs medical professionals to determine whether a player is fit or not, but old Brewcie leaves it up to the player and then publicly applies pressure with “I hope he declares himself fit”. No doubt the utter skid mark said to the likes of Gayle and Dummett “You right to play lads?” and they’re all eager and say “Yes boss“, allowing the dumb fat cunt to say after the game “Oh, but they said they were fit, not my fault they injured themselves again.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Ironically Joelinton has probably played more games than anyone else this season, despite his obvious need to be taken out of the firing line, both for his own sake, and to satisfy the demands of the baying mong element of our support.

Disco Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Him getting injured works quite well for Bruce. Feeds his woe is me agenda and means he can drop him without getting flak from those above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishMagpie Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Dunno where this thinking that if he get's "off the mark", even against a 3rd division team, and he'll be "on his way". Not all entirely his own fault but I'd be amazed if he scored more than 3 before the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 How many times have we bought an actual good/clearly talented British player? Shelvey? Maybe Ritchie at a stretch? I'm sure we could have got Ings away from Southampton for less than £40m in the summer. Come to think of it, we could have got a Match-fit Danny Drinkwater, Jay Rodriguez or maybe even Callum Wilson. Any one of them would have been really useful this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
