tgarve Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 bruce needs to do something about this now, whatever you think of joelinton just plodding on the way they have is clearly not going to work and nothing is going to change either either do something different in training, or drop him and send him away for a couple of weeks to see if he comes back refreshed or something...just do anything, something The only thing he'll do is blame the striker for missing chances. Brummie said that was his style at Villa. Always the players fault when they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. I mean I agree but a striker SHOULD know how to shoot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Bruce has to take full responsibility for bringing him here. Bruce had no control over the transfer. That miss in the first half when he passed it wide of the post was woeful, time, space, loads of goal to place it into, 12 yards out and you can see it’s missing as soon as he hits it. We’ve ruined him but it’s also clear that he’s not mentally capable of turning this around. Unfortunately, we’ll still have to play. Would Joelinton have been here if Rafa stayed? Clearly no as Rafa has already said this. Bruce was brought in specifically to rubber stamp these deals. He walked out on Shef Wednesday so he could do it. If he had nowt to do with the deal then he can simply say so, but in fact he has publicly backed it. It’s well known that Rafa didn’t think he was worth £40M, don’t think Bruce does either but Joelinton was being signed no matter who came in. It’s a baffling transfer and would be worth looking in to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Bruce is no one's puppet though, remember. If he didn't want to sign this big fucking lummox then he'd have definitely stood up to Lee and Mike and dug his heels in. But he didn't. He went along with it because he's as complicit in this as the pair of them. This is the exact reason they paid to get his from Sheff Wed. He's Bruce's boy. His £40m number 9. Can't run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be gasping to not blame him for the signing but if doing so they calling him a willing patsy which they’ve all said he isn’t. Lovely stuff.

UncleBingo Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Might have to eat some humble pie KaKa[/member] Eh? Nah, you're alright. That would be UncleBingo I got slaughtered for saying this about Mitrovic after one game, but I'm mighty sceptical that Joeshinton will ever be a £40M footballer. Indeed.

TRon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 So who will Bruce start in the next game? I'm assuming big Andy is crocked at the moment, would be difficult to see the ball sticking with Gayle or Muto up front as lone strikers. At this point someone will no doubt pipe up that it doesn't stick with Joelinton either, but sometimes it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Wish Mitro was still here. Why? Mitrovic was never the answer. We upgraded on him with Rondon then downgraded on both with big Joey Agentfavour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Honestly not a clue what the point of this guy is as a footballer never mind as a striker/40m signing When hes looked decent its been at a position that his physique is not meant for, he does not possess any qualities that would make him look reliable to provide anything of worth for a quarter of what he cost never mind the fee Imagine not going for Rondon, a player who not only preformed what Joelinton can do better but actually was able to score goals too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh74 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Think the best thing for him now is to be benched for a few games and to come on for the last twenty. If he continues to play from the start and struggle his days here are finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Nickson should be held accountable for this, why was he so desperate to sign this guy? So was Mike though. He was offering to pay for the transfer out of his own pocket apparently, such was his desire for Rafa to agree to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Signing Rondon for 16m and spending 24m to strengthen other areas of the squad or buy Joelington for 40m. Then shitcunts like Charney have the audacity to claim we are all about signing quality rather than quantity, bringing in this donkey and players like Krafth who look way out of their depth.

Tsunami Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Would like to know what his finishing is like in training, in game situations his whole body language suggests he’s almost scared to score. Sounds daft, everyone wants to score, but there is pressure to take a chance and it becomes almost a relief to miss as that’s the easy thing to do.

Kanji Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Embarrassing twitter and verbal abuse. But calling it as I see it - he is a very poor player right now. Be it confidence and or execution, he’s very very bad and he’s letting himself, his teammates, his club and the fans down. Needs to sort it out.
