Guest firetotheworks Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Mad to think that Riviere and Luuk De Jong were here only 2 years ago and people still try and claim that Joselu is one of the worst players we've ever had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Joselu isn't the worst but that is by no means a compliment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Joselu isn't the worst but that is by no means a compliment Definitely not. I still say that his hold up play was absolutely fine though. His entire ability has been judged on his goal scoring inability, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Shame, but realistically he's never going to be Prem level. Wouldn't be adverse to this, if we install a buy back fee. Say sell him for 5 mill, put buy back of 15 mill in there, cover ourselves in case he suddenly breaks out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Joselu reminds me of LDJ so much. Lanky, Lethargic, can't get any power on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Felt sorry for Riviere. It was clear early doors he wasn't cut out for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Joselu reminds me of LDJ so much. Lanky, Lethargic, can't get any power on the ball. If you watch some of the goals he scored at his previous clubs he got plenty of power behind his goals. He scored a cracker with his left foot against Real Madrid. Yet here I can barely remember a proper shot in anger from him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Imagine if it was Pardew that had signed Joselu. The fume would be tenfold. Never seen such a non entity player. Offers absolutely nothing and hope that is the last we ever see of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Pardew had some of the best players I've seen for us handed to him on a plate. Rafa signed Joselu because there was no other choice. Context matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Context matters. Nobody forced him to buy the/a donkey. With all due respect to Joselu, who seems like a great guy. Also, for all the good players he's signed, especially at Napoli, there's quite a big percentage of relative dross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 You couldn't really call Joselu a bad signing though, we desperately needed any striker after Rafa was let down on all his actual targets. I'm sure Stoke's third choice striker wasn't top of his shopping list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
