The Prophet Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Joelinton could be an incredibly useful player going forward. Even if he's eventually moved out of the first eleven, he'd be great to bring on to break up play and cause a general nuisance. That said he seems like a really hard working individual, so I don't see why he won't continue to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 It's uncharted territory, but Joelinton could potentially be used as a central defensive midfielder given how easily he slotted into the left side of that midfield 3. Could easily see him develop into Shelveys role, giving Bruno and Paqueta more license to roam and attack. and yes I've already taken it for granted that we're bringing Paqueta home to Bruno to form our new 3 man Brazilian midfield next season.

You may very well be right, but it would be interesting to see how he does in that position before a conclusion is drawn. He's already surprised us once this season.

TRon Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 2 hours ago, The College Dropout said: Joelinton isn’t good enough to be here longer than 12 months unless as a squad filler. Same applies to Shelvey. joe is just too limited on the ball. Shelvey is too limited physically. Would like at least one of them replaced this summer in the first team. But he would be a very good squad filler tbh, look at his attributes. Can play across the front line, in a few different midfield roles, is big and and can run for 90 mins. Plus he has a great attitude and work ethic. He's not the worst footballer either, tbh he looks like De Bruyne compared to someone like Wood. I agree he's not good enough to command a first team place for much longer, but I think Howe will definitely want to keep him around to use tactically over a season.

Awaymag Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I look in this thread and tell myself....99.9% of rumours are just click bait........still can't help smile and get excited though. Never looked forward to the closed season so much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Can see Big Joe being here for a long time mostly as a really good utility player capable of literally playing anywhere in midfield and attack. As it stands now he's our best ball winner and when he's on, he's unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the comments in here about him being no more than squad filler are bollocks, he'll continue to grow with us and contribute, might even help us in our efforts to acquire further Brazilians.

toon25 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Aside from the fact I've grown to fucking love him, I think we're many many years away from Big Joe being considered as not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I fear some people who talk as if a whole new squad is going to be bought are going to be disappointed.

Tsunami Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 A friend of mine, who likes a tale but usually fesses up, was on a Newcastle to Heathrow flight today. He swears blind that Lewandowski was on it.
