    My mate just tweeted me this...

    “@OptaJean: 14 - Gabriel Obertan's PL career: 14 games, 4 starts, 0 goal, 0 assist, 4 shots on target, 7 off target. Magpie.” @JackPetchey

    Hardly encouraging, but im still slightly optimistic!

    4 starts. You cant guage anything significant about a player from 4 starts.

    Yeah i'm not thrilled by the signing but he's not had much of a chance in the league.

    He was awesome in the game against Hamberg in the CL, set up 2 goals and ran them raggid

    It ain't so bad. 11 shots in 4 starts. At least he isn't afraid to have a go.

    I think the Man Utd fans are right in that he has the ability, but just struggles with confidence. Perhaps stepping down from the very top and having fellow frenchies around him will relieve some pressure and help him to find form.

    Jonas Guiterrez PL career: 57 games, 50 starts, 3 goal, 7 assist, 14 shots on target, 45 off target.

    Hardly sets the world on fire either .. but we love Jonas .. more starts for Gobertan and his stats will look slightly better <ok>

    It must mean that Obertan is twice the player.

    Sold Routledge for £2m and Obertan is quicker and can actually beat a player, neither can cross like

    bullshit thread, sorry. if you can honestly judge a player from that, then you should be a scout. But seeing as you cant, you arent. Sorry but keep your miserable bullshit doom spreading to yourself. The kid never got a chance at the Mancs, and he does look like he really wants to play and play sexy football at that. So please shut your mouth in future. So sick of all the doom and gloom.

    To Be Honest with those stats I'd treat him more as if he was coming in from a foreign league cause he's played FA with Man U really.
    You need a good run in a team to build up a working relationship with other players.
    Fergie must have seen something there to make him want to buy him, just had to many players who were better then him ahead of him in the pecking order.
    Coming to NUFC as GRB has said maybe what he needs.

    True, but people are already on Ba's back because he hasnt scored in pre season, at least Obertan's playing well and that was only a couple of weeks ago. Damned if you do and damned if you dont.
