Rafalove Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 43 minutes ago, TRon said: From what I've seen he's getting to play centre midfield though, which I always assumed was his favoured position. Don't think he got that opportunity here much, he was mainly played on the left where he consistently ran into defenders. Tbf, he played there 16 times last year.

He never had a proper run of games which is something he'll get at Forrest. I hope he does well - I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't want to leave.

From my recollection he ended up drifting wide quite a lot and running into defenders. The one game of his which really stood out in memory is where he came on as a sub and I remember commenting he'd had more impact in 20mins than Longstaff had the whole game.

Aye,decent for sure,think he could have been a valuable squad player for us for a few more years, can't argue with the fee,though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just on the 'books' it shows as a £35Mil sale. Edited September 1 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 20m? Whatever the ins and outs of that deal are it was either sell him and Minteh or lose a purple, nobody else is generating those sort of funds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 We're going to have to get used to this sort of thing. Like for a lot of clubs, buying or developing and then selling promising players has to be part of the model now and always runs the risk that some of them go on to develop into real talents. But good for him, best wishes to him, and also hope he carries on doing well there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally split seconds of good bits which have to make you question what happened immediately before and after I never minded the lad and he took a hell of a penalty at Blackburn but I never saw him as likely to make any step up from where he was. I hope he does well, seemed a good pro. I don't think we really had a choice but to let him go given the shit way football works these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boey_Jarton Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 He is a solid player and decent prospect but he is worth more to Forest than he is to Newcastle at this time and so it makes perfect sense to sell given the PSR world we operate in. Minteh is different because we actually need a right winger and so his value to our squad would have potentially been very high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 He's nowhere near athletic enough for us, I would be buzzing for him of he makes it in the Premier League though and he probably will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 It’s great to see he has made a solid start to his Forest career. I feel really sorry for the lad having to leave his home town club, he left because he loves the Toon, and took one for the team. Shame a few other professionals on big contracts wouldn’t do the same, when nearing the end of their first team Newcastle careers. Hopefully if he continues to do well, it reflects well on us as a club and some of our other fringe players begin to be purchased for good money, instead of rotting and stealing a living at a club they aren’t really good enough for anymore. I still feel Forest have underpaid us, but what could we do… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes without saying, in our system, with our midfielders his time as a CM would've been limited. I totally disagree with that post where someone questioned his "athleticism". Kid can run all day. Would be an ideal foil for Wharton for eg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 A bit annoyed that he never got that loan I felt he always needed with us to a bottom half PL team or top Champo team. I never thought he would be a regular for us. But he never got the chance to really develop with us. If he stays fit and gets regular minutes we’ll see the best of him. I always felt he was a half a yard off it physically but he’s at the age now to sharpen that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
