Popular Post TrentVilla Posted July 23, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2019 They had John Cross from The Mirror on Talkshite earlier today and he was talking about this signing and without any irony actually said “they love a number 9 up there”.... I’m yet to discover which teams fans don’t like number 9’s. Meanwhile old drunken Oliver Holt claimed the other day that Newcastle used to be every football fans second team! What is wrong with these people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 years ago they signed Xisco in a what was then a large enough transfer fee and nobody had seen him play. it was bizarre then and he was woeful, this seems similat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Newcastle spending £40m on Joelinton just for Bruce to have Fabian Schar lump it up to him all game and hope he can do something is very, very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if he actually cost ~£20m + add-on's but Ashley released £40m as the fee to try to make it seem like he is spending money on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense and does seem Ashley style. His stats are really really poor. If they did pay 40m for him Jesus that looks a terrible deal on paper. Add in Bruce's style of football.

Tomaszk Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 He caused trouble v City when they played this season in a similar vein to when David James went up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 In his career, he's scored a goal every 254 minutes. As if that record wasn't outstanding enough, it includes the Austrian Premier League and Brazilian second tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) According to transfermarkt he scored 21 and got 9 assists in 79 games for Rapid Vienna, and scored 11 and provided 9 assists, in 36 games for Hoffenheim. Remains to be seen whether he's not worth £40m, but doesn't seem that bad to me. Edited July 24, 2019 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that bad - his stats are pretty similar to Wesley...but at pretty much twice the price (which I'm pretty sure is the only reason people are questioning it). FWIW I think he looks good, but raw. Whether he improves enough under Bruce's team's coaching to fulfill his potential will be the big question.
