Pandamninator Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I hate to write this but this lad, and not his fault, is probably the reason Ashley chose to not keep Rafa. So again, hate to say it but I’ll probably never change my opinion on him unless Rafa somehow comes back. You don’t need any type of quality manager to tell you how to kick a ball properly. I firmly believe that Joelington coming was the last straw for Rafa who publicly came out and said he was worth nowhere near the money involved. The bloke is absolute garbage. Just seemed like MA chose Joelinton over Rafa, more or less. Think it’s more of a case Rafa didn’t want Joelington and thought enough is enough when forced on him It wasn't even that - Rafa just thought you were a mentalist for paying for 40m for him. He was happy to buy him for cheaper if they could and spend the difference elsewhere. If you’re happy to sign a player you don’t come out and say he’s not worth it to the media He was the ex-Newcastle manager at that point. It is also quite common for managers and clubs to want to sign a player, but publicly state they did not want to pay the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 However I do think he’s not fit enough either. That’s definitely a factor. He’s never going to be a great footballer but I don’t think we’re seeing the best “Joelinton” that he can be. Rafa would sort him out, all the extra training, he’d shed a few pounds and gain an extra step, we’re not talking massive gains here but something noticeable at least Being fit is no excuse for not being able to kick a football properly. Honestly amazes me the amount of excuses that are put forward for this utter donkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I quite agree with you, I’m done with offering excuses for him but the fact is we’re stuck with him for the foreseeable. We should try and get the best from him until he can eventually be peddled for an “undisclosed fee” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly amazes me the amount of excuses that are put forward for this utter donkey. He seems have a bizarre cult following on twitter! Arguing bizarre points over 90 minutes such as ‘he held the ball up well’ to justify another pathetic display! I’m looking forward to the full details of this £40m fee coming out one day as is makes absolutely zero sense looking at his stats at previous clubs! It smells extremely dodgy!

andyc35i Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 One decent thing is always followed up by something terrible with this guy. He will hold up the ball and turn a defender then misplace the next simple pass or he will make a run and get into a good position and then fall over while working out what to do next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
