Joelinton

[TRon]

I'm happy for him, but isn't there a mixed opinion on his effectiveness in Brazil? I remember after one of his early matches they were more or less calling him a donkey.

Yep, super relaxed about lending our expensive assets to idiots with no repercussions for misuse.

 

AKA football. 

[gbandit]

His passing is regularly just beyond or just before our players in attack so it slows us down or completely breaks the attacks down. I’m now subscribed to the opinion that it’s time for him to be phased out in favour of a player who’s better on the ball, e.g. Ramsey. I love Jow off the ball but we’re not the high press team we once were. We’re a possession side now and can’t really afford simple lapses all the time 

[Menace]

He's lost a yard of pace and IMO he's the reason our midfield doesn't create much. His decision making and sloppy passing is baffling at times. 

[STM]

I feel like every time I doubt Joelinton that he finds his best form. 

 

Ask any Forest player what it was like playing against Joelinton today.

 

We do need different options though.

[wiseman]

Feels like we have now grown beyond what we needed from him, while injuries have started to take their toll on him. This is probably the last chance to get a noteworthy fee for him,  and while I'd hate to see him leave for another premier league club, I'd wish him all the best with a Saudi league pay day. 

[STM]

We aren't selling Joelinton like. Hes a massive part of this squad, in every way.

 

 

[Jaqen]

Must be so frustrating playing with him at times, mind. It's a total lottery what type of pass you're going to receive from him. 

 

Equal chance it's underhit and behind you or rocketed at your head. 

[Zero]

Nah we have passed the best timing to cash in. Just keep him until he retires or heads back to Brazil.

[janpawel]

Can his next evolution be to turn him into a left back?

We have to sell to buy though  Literally what’s held us back in previous windows, so if a £30m+ deal is there, we have to sell. He’s got 2 years left after this summer, only going to get worse and on big wages. 
 

Over next summer and the following, we likely will need CM x2, x2 full backs, CB, LW and RW. 
 

Money needs generating from somewhere, as a lot of those that need replacing will be leaving on frees / peanuts.

[Elliottman]

I just don’t think he can manage 3 games in a week and maintain his highest levels. Ramsay really needs to stay fit so we can rest Joe 

[Andy]

We seem to go through the same cycle with Joelinton all the time on here. Currently in the "he's the weak link in our midfield, sell the cunt" phase, soon to be followed by his next injury and all the "we really miss Big Joe, we're weak as piss without him" posts.

He's the weakest of the 3 but still important.

 

None of them get rotated so invariably you get dips in form due to physical/mental fatigue, he seems to be the most prone.

Victim of our lack of depth in that area. Squad's otherwise pretty solid.

[Groundhog63]

Been unlucky with goal scoring chances lately. 

Header just wide against Union, couple of close efforts yesterday. 

[Superior Acuña]

Encouraging the Gallowgate end to sing when were singing 'you're not fit to referee' - a booking surely

Think he’ll benefit with rotation with Ramsey once he’s back 

[Guest]

Far too important to sell. There isnt really a player like him in the league

[Lush Vlad]

I still find it fascinating that he has never been sent off for us. The bloke plays like it’s a footballing version of The Running Man, every week and like he has genuine disdain for the players he comes up against. Oh and the refs. He despises refs

Genuinely surprised

[Lush Vlad]

There didn’t seem to be any love lost with Anderson, either. Although Joelinton is just like that with most players, I guess.

Does preseason count? 

[Magpie Mover]

He's another one of our players whose second touch is a tackle.

[gbandit]

Needs a proper rest. Get Miley in the team. We can’t afford to play Joelinton currently
