Joelinton

[RS]

On the positive he’s put Bruce out of work. 

[Shadow Puppets]

He’s the weirdest player in our team IMO. Genuinely can’t pinpoint anything that he’s particularly good at. He’s just ok at a few things here and there. So laboured in most of the things he attempts to do.

[huss9]

he doesnt pick himself though, does he?

fraser, murphy and gayle must be raging.

and Shola>>>>>>Big Jow.

[ElDiablo]

We just kept punting it into him and he did an ok job of bringing the ball down, but then he let's himself down by a sloppy touch or pass every time. Must've done that a dozen times today.

That's the thing, he's very slow in what he does, it's life he's a second behind

 

I think he'd probably do okay in Italy where he can get away with that

[huss9]

italy's come along way since those days.

try the norwegian or the greek leagues.

Thought he was our best player,but that’s not saying much today.

 

I also think he was one of our better performers yesterday. To me the amount of criticism and hate he gets is out of proportion. He has been more effective than Almiron overall and Almiron gets nowhere near the amount of stick.

More effective than Almiron in his time here? Give your head a shake man

[Dokko]

Makes me said on how much money we wasted on these 2. In fact our 3 top fee transfers were criminally bad. 

[samptime29]

His balance is awful. He can shield the ball well and be in a good position but his balance is so bad, he is tackled easily.

[jackyboy]

The team is selected to fit around him. ASM should be on the left. The commentator summed him up when he said that he just never looks threatening. When he picks up the ball there is just no danger to the opposition.

Perhaps Ashley will take him and Bruce to Derby if he buys them. If not they could work for SD

[Fantail Breeze]

Doesn’t help it seemed the entire game plan was to lump long balls up to him. Presumably just because he’s tall.

 

During the warm up, he looked like a solid player. He even hit a ball with power behind it. Put him in the match and he looks a complete donkey.

 

I’m going to reserve total judgement until we have a proper manager in. Longstaff, Hayden, Lascelles, Manquillo... they all looked like competent PL players under Rafa. Under Bruce they barely look Championship standard.

6 goals in 76 games. Like a defender.

Isn’t Wilson number 3 (or even equal 2nd with Miggy at £20m)? Or am I completely wrong/forgotten someone obvious?

Joelinton, Willock & Owen according to Transfermarkt.

 

[Raconteur]

Nufc.com list both ASM and Wilson as “£20m tbc”. Who fucking knows with Ashley

totally forgot about willock, mind he looks every inch a Kennedy so by mistake I’ve probably still called it. We just can’t spend big money properly. 

[Fantail Breeze]

Of our top 10, would be a stretch to say only three have been a success? Shearer, Wijnaldum and Wilson?

 

Wilson being a perma-crock makes it difficult to say it’s been a complete success.

That Owen fee must be adjusted for inflation or something

We could try a Steve Howey like conversion of him to CB, you never know.........

The numbers seem all over the place for loads of players, not sure how they have worked them out. They reckon £18.9m for shearer when it was famously £15m (WR fee).

 

Also Luque down as £18m when he cost about £9m didn't he?

[Chicken Dancer]

First time I've had the pleasure of watching this lad and it seems he's as bad at football as his boss is at managing.

Les Ferdinand - £8.55m (was £6m)

Thought he was one of our better players tbh  Shows how shite they all were.

If chesting the ball down to pass it to their players is what you're basing it on, he was world class
