Weren't Chelsea after him as well?45m or something and he offers feck nothing. Turned 22 too so can't pretend he is a teenager anymore. I can't get my head around why Newcastle got him other than English players quotas, bang average

Playing like he is, to be fair.Could've been Chelseas number 9
He wasn't brilliant today, but I'm not writing him off just yet. Howe has polished some actual turds since coming in, and Gordon is far from that. I think he'll be a different player next season with a full pre season under his belt.
Only page 2 of the thread, can’t have been that much criticism!Making a few on here look daft at the moment. He's on fire this season, looks a menace for defenders.

Ah ok, has he been decent? I really don’t know much about him other than he’s rapid.He has been slated in loads of different threads. I just bumped his thread.
I always said that I never saw much special about him and that he’s mainly a pace merchant but he’s shutting me up indeed this season, looking very sharp. Still let’s see how long he can keep such form and if he can win a place in XI, today was fecking Sheffield tooMaking a few on here look daft at the moment.

Last year he was rubbish but stepped it up this year which he had in him. Remains to be seen though if it's a purple patch. Let's not forget that Almiron looked phenomenal last year and has gone back to his average self.
Almiron's game was also massively improved both by adding a top class RB in Trippier (who is also not getting any younger) and his great linkup with Bruno. This season the midfield has been really misfiring with the addition of Tonali and it's affected performances all around. Still expect Howe to get it sorted but it's been a fairly steep dropoff in performance these first 6 games.Almiron is late 20s though, it's a slightly different situation.

I look at their lineup and it does nothing for me. Howe is doing a very good job there.Impressed with how much he has improved this season. Adding more goals and assists to his game. A shame it didn't work out with us but Newcastle was the best move for him.
Farcical that he is overlooked in the England setup. He has 10 goal involements this season if you include penalties won, and end product is still probably the weakest part of his game.
Pretty much nothing comes through our left-hand side when he's on the pitch because of how much work he does doubling up, and because opposing full-backs are scared to push on due to his pace.
Definitely one of those players you appreciate more when he's playing for you, but even for the neutral it is surely becoming difficult to overlook him.
Credit to Newcastle DOF.Can’t believe he was chased down the road and hounded out by Everton fans… hopefully they learn from it.

Just popping by to say that I still don't rate the guy.
