That’s fair enough - fwiw, I was never one that said send him out on loan. I personally felt howes training methods must be way better than most so I liked the idea of him being part of that for the season. You’re right though - it is early days. 

 

Yeah I was against sending him out on loan as well, just from what I saw in pre-season where he looked a real threat, quite similar to what he was doing yesterday. He's a huge talent, just needs to be honed a bit more for games against the best sides where winning the ball back isn't easy.

[Killuminati]

Welcome back on track Joe! Really happy for him. Good game and some lovely goals

[Willow]

I thought he was great today and just never stopped. Full on beast mode all over the pitch

[TBG]

Only cost 40m as well 

[Tiresias]

Just unbelievable player, just ludicrous transformation

[Numbers]

Love a bit of Joe ellington like.

[cubaricho]

What’s his contract situation? New deal in the summer?

[Big Geordie]

Bossed it

[Amir_9]

Already cemented himself as an NUFC legend with the comeback of all comebacks.

 

Lad is a brute force.

[AJ9]

Still cannot believe the turnaround. He was so so shit, and now he's an unstoppable force. Mind boggling.

[andycap]

What I like about the big man is he's not scared to have a pop with either foot. Same with his crossing.

At his best I would put Joelinton up there with almost any box-to-box midfielder in the league. He is physically off the charts, he's gigantic, he's strong, fearless, has learned to finish, genuinely seems to love competing against the best. Every elite side needs a player like him, he does the work of two players and allows the forward players to have so much more space and time. I think he's worth twice what we paid for him, which is an incredible tribute to his persistence and to Howe's (and staff) coaching.

Man of the match for me

[gbandit]

Between him and ASM for sure. I think aside from the goals, he was the main reason we managed to get back control of the midfield after that spell when they took control and scored 

[KaKa]

He's still continuing to improve

 

This guy is just a problem anywhere he is played on the pitch now.

 

That bending inward run for his first goal man. Geez.

Him or Bruno

He’s worth more than 40m imo.

Absolutely, and has been for a while now.

 

If someone comes in with a £40 million bid it gets laughed off.

 

Probably have to start with a bid of £60 million just to start any kind of conversation!

I wouldnt even have an conversation at all. Keep Joe at all costs and put a "Hands Off" on him.

Very rare midfielder to find like him. 

[Newcastle Fan]

What a fucking return to the side, ran the show in midfield and two goals as well, what a player he's become.

Absolutely! I said a few weeks ago that I thought he was one in our squad that was untouchable, as he really sets the tone for this current team.

[Big River]

so happy for him  what a beast

[pedro111]

Keep hearing Matt Richie's "Joelinton!" Every time I say his name. He's different class.

[Kanji]

Apart from his goal he was a bit uncontrolled in the first half until towards the end. Must have had a good chat with the coaching staff because his second half was utter class.
