Joelinton

Support the team not the regime.

Doesnt even resemble a footballer. Another absolute dogshit performance

Ashley has completely stitched him by paying £40m for him. The deal stinks to high heaven and this guy is the fall guy for it.

maybe he was bought to get the fans in, Asda do the same with their fuel sell it cheap but gets the punters to shop in their shops, called a loss leader or something along those lines.

ASDA don’t actually lose money on fuel, they are just quick to pass on the reduction in price of fuel to customers. Yes it’s done to get people into ASDA stores, but they don’t lose money on it, they just don’t profit as much as other petrol stations.

got a bit of a bollocking off matty longstaff second half for just standing around rather than trying to press/intercept the ball. i think the injury MAY explain that to some extent.

He's become the scapegoat in a devastatingly ugly and ineffective team. Good luck to him climbing out of that hole.

 

Almiron has managed to climb out of a similar predicament from earlier this year. It wasn't long ago people had started on him, claiming he was shite because he never scored or assisted.

 

Maybe a goal gets this guy excited to play again. It's going to be very tough for him though.

that's a fair summation of him and the situation, though for me OTT on the workrate thing

 

when i've seen him he starts out grafting but his head seems to drop

 

Hes doing the same thing with Joelinton now. He has to play through the pain barrier against Wolves and is asking to play again. He has played every match since Christmas surely he needs a rest as does Fernandez and maybe Dubravka. You can't complain about the tough schedule then do nothing to work around it.

That quote is horrific. The club employs medical professionals to determine whether a player is fit or not, but old Brewcie leaves it up to the player and then publicly applies pressure with “I hope he declares himself fit”.

 

No doubt the utter skid mark said to the likes of Gayle and Dummett “You right to play lads?” and they’re all eager and say “Yes boss“, allowing the dumb fat cunt to say after the game “Oh, but they said they were fit, not my fault they injured themselves again.”

Ironically Joelinton has probably played more games than anyone else this season, despite his obvious need to be taken out of the firing line, both for his own sake, and to satisfy the demands of the baying mong element of our support.

Him getting injured works quite well for Bruce. Feeds his woe is me agenda and means he can drop him without getting flak from those above.

Dunno where this thinking that if he get's "off the mark", even against a 3rd division team, and he'll be "on his way".  Not all entirely his own fault but I'd be amazed if he scored more than 3 before the end of the season.

"He's firing on all cylinders now".

How many times have we bought an actual good/clearly talented British player? Shelvey? Maybe Ritchie at a stretch?

 

I'm sure we could have got Ings away from Southampton for less than £40m in the summer. Come to think of it, we could have got a Match-fit Danny Drinkwater, Jay Rodriguez or maybe even Callum Wilson.

 

Any one of them would have been really useful this season.

Don’t forget we’re not here to compete like a normal football team. We exist solely to make Mike money.

 

Not sure how he’s going to recoup that alleged £40m for Joelinton like but then again I’m not entirely sure the transfer was done for legitimate reasons.

I still don't get why Ashley came out and said Rafa thought Joelinton was only a 20m striker. Just a bizarre statement from a cautious businessman.

Lascelles.

Read the other day that we went for Lascelles instead of van Dijk when he was at Celtic

Lmao. However we do know Virgil would have left us when we got relegated. Another big sum that would have been spread over like 5 years and Rafa would never have saw more than a 1/4 of it or less

Imagine van Dijk and Lascelles under Rafa

might've stayed up with vvd. hell, pardz could still be here seeing out his eight year deal.

Imagine van Dijk and Lascelles under Rafa

 

Van Dijk and 1 of Schar, Lejeune, Lascelles

Reckon he’ll grab a goal tonight

I don’t.
