Elephant Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) 6 minutes ago, TRon said: Doesn't look so bad now does it? Yes, it does. We didn’t sign him as midfielder, but goalscorer. He has played 89 games and scored 7 goals in PL. I like how he is playing now, strong and full of confidence, but failed in role he was signed for. However Ekitike has better stats than Joelinton, but that’s not exactly hard, because we signed Joelinton because of his great performance against poor Favre’s BVB.

He was a winger who was signed to play as a goalscorer/target man. Not his fault. Not my fault, not your fault. He's playing well now and that's all that matters brother.

elbee909 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Always thought that 40m figure seemed weird for Joelinton anyhow. All I know is he's turned it around under a better manager. Onwards and upwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The fact that he's done well in a certain role the last few weeks really doesn't change the fact that his transfer has been an absolute disaster Still one of our worst ever for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Anyway, disregarding Joelinton's price, I'm pleased we are signing Ekiteke. Deliriously happy about it actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll never know how his newcastle career would have started if he wasn’t coached by Steve Bruce. I’ve a feeling he’d have started off a lot better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only few games as winger, not used there much at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 There was no way the Joelinton figure was £40m upfront btw, creative accounting as always by Ashley. More likely to be £25m with add-ons that’ll never be achieved because he’s not playing as a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Quote Ben Board @ Epic: Ekitike becomes only the fourth player in Premier League history to have a palindrome surname (reads the same backwards and forwards). Can you name the others? Ah fuck, there is any chance of getting anything productive done today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Think he'll be a one to play from the bench unless Wood plays so bad as to need him out before Wilsons return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey47 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Yeah most likely he will be an impact player. Is it possible that Howe might try out a front three of wood asm hugo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm not interested in us signing one of the most highly regarded young strikers in Europe either tbh. Some weird takes on here recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
