Joelinton

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Not even a 10p player

 

 

Fixed your post! He’s fucking garbage

[Doctor Zaius]

Why pay 40m for a player that scored 7 goals in the Bundesliga?

 

He's not quick, he cant hold the ball up, he's not creative, cant finish. Hasnt even showed the glimpse of having any talent.  Makes no sense like.

[toontownman]

Looking decent Imo. (more confident on the ball I mean)

This to be honest. Doesn't help us out much though. He was a better player amongst other complete garbage today.

He's a tall, young Brazilian striker. He's got to be good at some point /cronies

[Amir_9]

See, even if Gayle had scored that chance today. Still not worth half of what was paid for

 

Utterly timid, never a goal-scorer. I'll be surprised if we see him score 6-7 this year. He doesn't give any confidence or reason to have the ball passed to him either.

 

What a mess.

Best of a shocking bunch today along with Manquillo imo.

6-7 fuck me thats optimistic I'd be amazed if he gets 3 or 4 hes scored 1 in 17 fucking games

Can’t wait to see the profit Ashley & Charnley make from Joelinton

 

Idiots.

[geordiedean]

If the hoss had played 17 games for us this season do we think hed have more than this chumps goal return?

[KaKa]

Under Bruce and in this setup? No chance.

[triggs]

There's probably a decent chance he'd have more than one goal like

[KaKa]

None of our forward players look like scoring ever.  I'm not convinced at all.

Love how Ryder tweets without ever thinking about how it may sound when read. A journalist who's uncomfortable with words.

[sh74]

So have we officially wrote him off?

[Ikon]

So have we officially wrote him off?

 

Personally I haven't, unless he has to play under Bruce for too long, and the same thing goes for the other players.

I don't think Bruce has anything to do with the lack of Joelinton's current talent or his future prospects.

Bruce has played him far too many times for my liking and so has had many opportunities; game time and within the games I have seen.

 

Don't forget Benitez only rated him as a £20 million player (and Rafa's description of strikers was that at £20 million you only get a handful of goals a season)!

[Ikon]

Well, I don't see him playing or proving himself as a "striker" either. I also think that Bruce's lack of management/coaching quality will hinder many of our players, at least compared to a quality manager. How is a player going to be playing to the fullest of his potential in a non functional team?

[Menace]

You can blame Bruce's lack of management skills for this guy not being impressive - but he can't even do the bloody basics right. Every time I've seen him take a shot he looks like he's bricking himself. He's a 1 in 4 striker, so why am I not surprised he's shit.

[Kanji]

He looked his best after he nearly scored that volley. He then started playing with urgency and aggression.

Im not blaming Bruce for Joelinton being as bad as he has been so far! I just think there's a player in there who within time might prove himself to be quality further ahead, even though I doubt that'll happen under Bruce as he's being played as a central striker in a non functional team which won't exactly help him in the long term, or at least not make it easier for him.

Idiots.

 

They've probably already made it tbf.

[Gallowgate End]

Under Bruce and in this setup? No chance.

If he was a 1 in 4 striker hed have scored 4 goals st least at the moment hes a 1 in 17 striker

[Sean]

He's going to be great under the next guy though? 

 

I said after 2 games max he has a heart the size of a pea. Seen nothing to suggest otherwise since then. Also haven't seen a great deal of talent. Not the best combination.
