Can't actually believe how badly this has worked out for us. He's had plenty of time to get fit, look sharp, look fucking interested, and he just hasn't . Woeful transfer for all involved. Newcastle coming off the worst in the Isak to Liverpool, Wissa leaving Brentford scenario is so fucking typical :lol:

Those misses today summed this chancer up. Thank fuck Barnes scored after that shit show of an attempt to round their keeper. 

 

Absolute shit, this bloke.

Absolutely the most garbage assist I've ever seen. So bad. Luckily it didn't matter.

To be fair, the goal amd chance came about due to his chasing and forcing the defender into the initial mistake.

He's absolutely pap like. Still, he's getting on the pitch and involved in missing chances - a big step forwards from not getting off the bench.

Am I the only person who thought he actually played quite well when he came on (miss aside)? He worked hard and got himself into good positions, and the 3rd goal doesn’t happen without his effort.

 

Lots of convincing still to do, but better.

He's clearly got a very long way to go to convince anyone he's going to turn his NUFC career around; but the misses against Arsenal and Brighton just look to me like a striker who's out of form, out of confidence and who's hardly seen the pitch - rather than one that's just fundamentally broken. They're snatchy and uncomposed but at least he's in the right positions to score, which isn't something you're guaranteed of with certain others in the squad. Obviously they're huge goalscoring opportunities and you're drawn to that pricetag with every miss, but neither are gimmes. 

 

Thought his assist was good. Pressed the defender into an error and lured the keeper into no-mans-land. Great finish from Barnes all the same; goal reminded me a bit of Wilson's against Burnley.

It's not even just the fact that he's missing those chances, but it's the bizarre manner as well. 

 

What's with the sliding and launching the ball into the stratosphere?! So irritating.

The Geordie journos are bang on in their assessment of him in their video post match imo. It looks like he’s trying too hard, he clearly wants to do well and wants to be here. He looked genuinely gutted when he missed.  Maybe a full pre season, some confidence restored we will see the player we thought we were getting. Some of the posts about him are embarrassing tbh

"Can casually run after players from time to time" is a hell of a selling point and would make for a great headline on a Michael Owen style brochure for him to secure a move to Turkey in the summer.

He'll be 30 come the new season and after a fucked knee will be as much use as the silly cunt I hate more than him who's managing the welfare and development of our youth on their loan programmes.

Yeah, a full pre season would be great. Just hasn't worked out this season and he's clearly much better than what he's shown.

 

Problem is, he'll be off to the World Cup and so he won't get a full pre-season, and it's likely to mean a slow start to next season again. That's if he doesn't go and get injured in the World Cup knowing our luck.

Did "Brilliantly" according to Hope.

Fucking sticking his hands in the air for the ‘assist’ after almost contriving to fuck it up only for Barnes to pull him out of the shite [emoji38]
 

Plays like a veteran footballer.
