Just grew up in a different era. throwing up a W with your hand meant you liked West Coast Rap - not spent 3 months on the bench.

 

Never met him, never seen an interview with him - but I think he's a massive air-head, that's going to regret the chance of Newcastle United in 10 years time. 

 

There is easily 500 players from Championship even step 4 non league that have same ability as lads like Osula, Elanga - they just don't get given the chance, or don't have the mindset to be a pro-footballer.

 

I watch Dorking Wanders every now and again. Osula would be eaten alive playing in that side. 

 

 

Howe has only spoken well about the work he has done in training and even afterwards behind the scenes.

 

Howe is a very particular manager, and in my opinion it can be a bit over the top sometimes, when it comes to prepping younger or less experienced players in his system, before given them chances.

 

One thing I will say about Osula that I have found quite annoying, is that he hasn't been given enough game time on that right side. Especially last season when we were actually short of another option outside of Murphy.

 

In my opinion he has looked most threatening and comfortable whenever he has played down that side, and I would have liked to see more of him in that position.

 

I think Osula is going to be fine. There are a number of really good clubs looking at him, where he will be able to get more room to make mistakes while playing real games, and he can then learn and grow from that.

Good luck to the man. 

 

Top clubs will look at minutes played between 18-21, and it's peanuts. He's now into 22-29 which is prime, and he's a bairn.

 

Good luck to him, and to whoever he plays for next.

The Frankfurt move to replace Ekitike would have been perfect for him. I can understand his frustration at not being allowed to join them.

 

He'll likely end up in a similar sort of club in Germany and playing more every week, and he'll get a chance to push on. I believe Stuttgart were also showing interest recently also.

A loan to a top flying club in Championship - even to Portsmouth. He'd buzz off his tits playing football in a attacking side like Cov, even Osula playing for Portsmouth in front of that crowd would get his juice flowing.

 

I don't think Bundesliga clubs touch him now, certainly not for fee what we brought him for - £15M - let alone for 25-30M going in last moments in the summer.

 

My guess is we'll loan-to-sell to a club like Stuttgart, and he'll end up back here in the 'bomb squad of 2026'.

 

Lad will go under the radar as a horrible signing. When we had no ffp, we spaffed 15M on this lad.

Osula and Willock is the biggest space brains from all accounts on all the behind the scenes in club videos and Sky Sports 'quiz/who is' type videos. 

 

I saw more of Osula acting mental and excited to be there on Newcastle videos than I ever did him playing on the pitch. Whether that on the bus tour, or those short clips of us walking into the dressing room - Tonali, Isak, Tripps, Schar etc. just walk in - Osula is throwing gang signs and silly faces when he's not got off the bench for 2 months.

gang signs  isn’t he doing the whole ‘W in the chat’ schtick the streaming generation throw around.

KaKa and I have settled this. 

 

Feel like Mark in Peep Show in this thread. I 60% know what dubs in the chat is, or what streaming is - stop going on about it.

This lad going to play for us again do we reckon?

Teach me then? You've just interested yourself into this, so what do I need to learn?

 

I was never talking shite about anything. I think going round in life telling people to 'just learn!!' is a painful lifestyle.

Am I allowed to change this discussion back to Will Osula? 

 

We all agree he needs selling? What level of football do you think he plays at? 

 

I think he's a talented player, but he's no longer 'young and developing'. He could go on trial at loads of National League North/South clubs and not get a contract in my opinion. 

 

It's a flip of coin on his career in my opinion - but it will never be at Newcastle.

[Menace]

You don't think he's good enough for the national league, what? Did he turn down a selfie request or something

I don't think Elanga is good enough for National League on his form - you can't give the ball away 1 in every 3 times you get it - and never assist or score.

 

Do you have confidence that if we could loan Elanga or Osula to York City (1st National League) their manager would play them over his players on the back of - NUFC players?

 

They are more talented - potentially.

Guy needs to get out of here ASAP for his own sake. He’s way down the pecking order and going on 23 in summer and yet still only started a handful of professional games in last 3 years since returning from his L1 loan. 

[bobbydazzla]

Apparently we rang up Heaton Stannington to offer him on a free, but they were laughing like hyenas cos he’s not good enough to get a game for them. They couldn't actually get their words out so had to put the phone down and send a fax to tell us to fuck off.

Are you for real right now?

Have you watched lower league football?

Yes - lower league managers rely on trust rather than ability and technique. 

 

Instructions and training are simple. Just do it and be good. 

 

Elanga would easily be the fittest, but if he gave the ball away 1 in 3 times he got it like he does for us - he'd not play. 

 

Even a step 3 manager will pick a player player like Miggy over over player like Elanga. 

 

Elanga has the ability to play in the PL - but Howe can trust him, if every time Elanga gets the ball he gives it away? 

 

Elanga has the ability to play for Gateshead no doubt, but if he played like he does and gave the ball away 1 in 3 - the lad wouldn't get a contract.
