He has been here for 5 seasons, which means we've paid him £11,700,000 in his time at the club. We apparently paid around £15m for him from Norwich, which means he's cost us a total of £26,700,000. He played a total of 36 games of us, which means per game played he cost £741,666. He started 27 games for us, which means per start he cost £988,888. He played a total of 2580 minutes for us, which means per minute on the pitch he cost £10,348. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 Nice chap, terrible signing, probably the worst fullback I’ve seen play, and there’s a lot of competition for that honour. His next contract elsewhere will be at best a tenth of that deal, total drain on the clubs resources for zero contribution. Just Hayden to go now from the bomb squad.

Not that it really matters, but we’ll have been getting some contribution towards his salary when he was out on loan. So maybe 9 grand a minute instead of 10… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely can't remember but I just saw him as a bit of a nothing player who seemed to lack any sort of belief and got injured a lot as opposed to being absolutely terrible.

Smal Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 he was really bad, yeah. One of the worst I’ve seen play for us. He didn’t even try to defend crosses and was responsible for a goal going in practically every game for a while. Going forward he just… didn’t. Always passed it back or 5 yards to the side. He never had any confidence at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 I just remember that home game against Brighton in 2020 where he was shredded over and over. His positioning was shocking, and for a full back that is a fatal flaw. Perhaps if he’d had better coaching after he was signed he might have done ok.

Guest Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 Easily one of our worst signings in recent years. Just had nothing about him. No drive, no backbone, completely unable to improve enough to gain trust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted June 30, 2025 Share Posted June 30, 2025 Still certain we signed him just because Liverpool were interested and it appeared to be a bit of a coup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 4, 2025 Share Posted July 4, 2025 No one was interested in him really though. The WB at Norwich that everyone was interested in was Maxwell Aarons, who didn’t live up to his promise. As like anything with Ashley, we bought him because he was young and cheap, and they thought that if he had a decent season they could cash in on him.

Joelinton7 Posted July 4, 2025 Share Posted July 4, 2025 Genuinely couldn’t tell you a thing about him as a player for us. Total mind blank. Like he was just never here. Somehow played 24 games for us in 20/21 🤷🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 4, 2025 Share Posted July 4, 2025 Was pretty excited when we signed him. Liverpool had him earmarked for the "Tsimikas" role and as Robertson's successor but we offered more and first-team football. Just never happened for him, shame. Could see him at Rangers or back at Norwich or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His performance against Brentford in the league cup QF during the covid season was one of the worse performances I can remember from a Newcastle player in recent times.... Remember being excited when we signed him too purely for the reason that klopp was meant to be after him so just assumed he was gonna be half decent lol.... Good luck to him though 👍 lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich made some decent money from highly rated young defenders who never reached their potential. Lewis with us, Aarons with Bournemouth and Godfrey at Everton.

But we should probably have done some scouting of our own as well just so might have picked up that he couldn't actually defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
