Joelinton

We look better with him on the pitch, out wide.

 

He's able to get involved far more and he is good at keeping the ball and passing it to a teammate, unless Hayden falls asleep and cuts off Joelinton's only pass route.

Leave the overhead kicks to Butt Joe

Big household...

I can't fault his attitude, and he's earned his place in the side.

 

But that position of withdrawn striker can make a big difference to how a team functions. Someone with more pace and a better first touch is who we need to look for, long term.

 

And yeah, I know that's difficult.

 

 

 

Absolutely shite

Absolutely shite

Worse than that but can't think of a suitably cutting description.

Had offered no more than an academy graduate in his entire time here.

 

Waste of fucking space in this side.

Wasn’t our worst player tonight, but hey

was watching him off the ball. honestly, the cunt was just jogging around. no urgency at all. no closing down and putting the opposition under pressure.

 

it's not his fault he's shit, but there's absolutely no excuse for his lack of effort.

 

he should be dropped for that alone. its obvious bruce is either pig thick, or under instructions from upstairs to play him, or both.

 

40 million. Great idea NUFC.

if only there had been a wise knowledgeable figure at the cloob who could have told ashley that this kid wasnt even worth half that fee.

He's so, so poor like. Decision making amongst the worst ive seen amongst any forward player for us. He's slow to react, doesn't particularly put himself about, doesnt appear to have much technique and has no particular standout qualities that set him apart from the poorest of PL footballers. He occasionally shows the odd neat touch and bit of vision that you'd expect as a basic from an elite level footballer but thats about it. He's been played as a striker, out wide and in the hole and he's never looked natural in any of those positions.

 

Its not a case of bedding in, its not a case of him being young and needing time either. He's had 60 or so games for us and he's only occasionally looked average, maybe once of twice has he looked decent. 

He’s shit.

Yep terrible

 

You'd think £40mil they'd have some sort of decent attribute like pace or good strength but he can't even control the ball

Another nothing player , I see nothing in him to suggest a fee of £50 , hes an utter plank .

 

Yet Anderson wont ever start ahead of him, for a long time

Time to cut our losses and give up.

Time to cut our losses and give up.

 

wouldnt even get £5m for him.

Around £10m back to the Bundesliga or Eredivisie I reckon.

10m 

 

Seriously do well to get someone to take him on loan and pay half his wages, when he does leave it will be on a free at the end of his contract or for peanuts

I truly hope the rumours of him not actually being £40m and the fee being exaggerated by the club with lots of add ons is true.

 

I can't think of a worse player in history that has been transferred for such a sum. Sure there's been some shocking transfers over the years but this feels like the most expensive flop if he really cost as much as they said.

He's got to be up there, surely. Really feel like it flies under the radar a bit as well. He's been a fucking horrible signing.

 

I mean there'll always be Torres who'll go down as arguably the worst flop when it comes to transfer fee Vs. return, but even he scored somewhere close to 50 goals for Chelsea including some crucial ones in the Champions League. There's Shevchenko for Chelsea as well but, again, twenty-odd goals in a couple of seasons. Hardly the apocalytpically bad return that big Jeff has for us.

 

Carroll? Kepa, maybe, if we can include non-strikers? Weird ones like Drinkwater, if you can call that a 'flop'? Soldado?

Feels like when West Ham bought Savio Nsereko for a record fee and he was barely a footballer, only inflation adjusted and fee doubled.

Aye there's probably others who are more befitting of 'most expensive flop', or whatever you want to call it, in pre-mental-inflation days.

No more debating eh?  No more "there's a player in there".  Get rid of him!
