True. These were my exact thoughts after first watching a Joelinton highlights clip before we signed him. Hoped for the best...
Linked with danny rose.... id have him ... bowen looks on too, so not a bad window if we get benteleb, this guy, rose, bowen ..
I'd be happy with that as well like. Surely Gayle has to be going somewhere if we bring him in....maybe swap as part of the deal. Either him or Piatek will do. The sooner we get rid of Gayle, Colback, Murphy, Aaron's, Ki and Muto the better...to name but a few!
Done deal then. Never heard of this guy and Inter seem desperate to ditch him, once again we're going for unwanted outcasts rather than players we actually want. So yet another bloody midfielder. Dunno what wing side he plays on but no way is he gonna oust God (aka ASM) from the team. I can see this guy becoming the new Jacob Murphy.
What an odd video. Starts with him being knocked flat on his arse after attempting some silky skills, then we get a back healed pass that misses all of his team mates, then a bog standard cross is replayed 3 times (is it supposed to get better on subsequent viewings? Cos it doesn't), then we get him attempting a Maradona-like super dribble that he makes an absolute pigs ears out of and ends up on his arse again, then we get him messing up a one on one with the keeper, and then we get him attempting to do some Ronaldo like step overs and losing the ball in the process and looking like an absolute tit. Is this supposed to be a video to make other teams think he's good? Cos it looks more like a video his manager made of him and then showed to the chairman to justify how dreadful he is and how much the chairman needs to get rid of him. The new Albert Luque?
I will bet, just like with Cabella, Thauvin, Joelinton, etc., that this guy is absolute ****ing turd. Barreca looked about the same. If he is, I want someone to take that ****er Nickson to task - I'll even do it myself, 'cos he's got a LinkedIn profile. I'll add here, reading a few reports - there's not a ****ing cat in hells chance Bruce wants this transfer. What I would believe Bruce wants is Danny Rose. We all know how that's going to go. Welcome to Ashley's Newcastle, Brucie boy.
Frasier Crane just left the building - if Brucie hurries uo he may still make it for that therapy session.
So where does he fit in for us? How do you fit him in and keep Max and Almiron? If he's not going to be a regular starter then what's the point? 4231 with Max, Almiron and Lazaro behind a new striker.
