It seems some of you think a loan specifically to newcastle could range from very good to very bad
Could you elaborate a bit?

Obertan to Newcastle for £3m
- Thread starter Drifter
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
what happened to Rossi in his spell at Newcastle?! we sold him for 5m and now his value is 30m...
According to French Radio Station RMC, it's permanent deal and the fee is 3-4 Mil Euros.

They played 1 up front and hoofed the ball up towards the striker. Rossi did okay when he was given the chance but thats not his kind of football
A move to Newcastle will make or break him. He should go on loan.
I think it will be very bad as he won't get games.
I don't think he's good enough even for Newcastle.
In 2009 - Redcafe drooled over his arrival and potential.
Its funny how people forget.... https://www.redcafe.net/f6/gabriel-obertan-257317/
Obertan has more talent/ability/potential.
He's faster and more skillful, that's about it.
I would prefer loaning him to someone like Aston Villa, but Newcastle are a big club as well. I just hope if he does go there, his loan is more beneficial than Rossi's. He needs to show he can perform consistently when there's pressure on him. Mastering the Newcastle soap opera would really show his true worth. An impressive loan spell gave Cleverley and Welbeck their opportunity and this looks like his final chance to do the same.
We have yet more attackers like Morrison who will be pushing for first team inclusion fairly soon and possibly at his expense.

Mail reckons 5 year deal
Hmm. Still think he's a million miles ahead of the likes of Bebe. If I'd have sold either of the two it would definitely have been the latter.
A another winger for Newcastle? 
They`ve already Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Marveaux, Gosling, Lovenkrands and Ferguson (Good talent).

So we got our money back? cool.
Who's saying he was "great at Bordeaux" in that thread? People are simply saying what they're still saying; he's got great potential, but doesn't seem like he'll ever fulfil it.
I was hoping we would get at least a £2m profit. But it looks like a £3m deal from what I read in the Daily Mail.
Cracking talent, seems to struggle mentally as Blanc suggested. Doesn't seem to have faith in his own ability and whilst I think he still has something about him I think a move with less pressure of being at United could help him.
Worth more than £3 million for his pace alone but I wouldnt be surprised if he did move on.
What has he done in 2 years to make such a profit? He has not progressed even slightly since the day we signed him.
If we get what we paid for that is fair enough. Perhaps there could be a 1M add on if he makes a certain amount of appearances but that is all we could expect.
I will not loose any sleep over this but at the same time a year loan 1st and then decide may have been a good idea as well.
Either way another year in our reserves was doing nothing, he was going nowhere
He's bulked up a load and improved fitness, which will increase his chances of succeeding at Newcastle at least. His finishing seems to have come on leaps and bounds too.
Pardew has confirmed that it's a permanent deal and he is having his medical there on monday.
How will you sleep at night?
Well you know, I try. It is still hard but I somehow manage it.
So he's gone, a pity i thought as we could afford to give him another season. Now we're left with Gibson and PIG clearing out the deadwood
Good luck to him.
Confirmed?
Pardew said he's coming in for a medical on Monday, ahead of signing a deal.
We don't really have that many wingers on the books.A another winger for Newcastle?
They`ve already Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Marveaux, Gosling, Lovenkrands and Ferguson (Good talent).
Ferguson's had a little time on the left side but is a left back. For now he's considered Enrique backup, possibly Enrique replacement.
Lovenkrands is 3rd or 4th choice striker and extreme backup right wing.
Pardew has said he's looking at playing a 4-5-1 and given the players at disposal I'm guessing that means one/two of Abeid/Tiote/Gosling/Guthrie anchoring the midfield and three/four of Cabaye/Barton/Jonas/Marveaux/Obertan/Ben Arfa/Taylor ahead of them. Decent competition and backup.
Could be a very strong midfield five, could turn out crap, we'll have to wait and see.
See ya Gab, we hardly saw ya.
Not bothered he's gone. He never showed enough beyond pace, and his glacial rate of progress made me think he was never going to make it here.
Best of luck to him.

I don't mind Gibson so much (he will leave though it seems), so in my view we've already cleared out the deadwood.
Not bad. Can't remember the last time there was a United squad where there was basically no player I felt was a waste of time.

I think we should keep Gibson for one more season so he could provide some experience for our CC and FA Cup games.
Good luck to him, hope he can express his potential for Newcastle
Didnt expect this. When I first heard it, thought it was rubbish.
Most players need a run of games even when they are playing poorly to get going. Its hard to get that with the squad at united.
Good luck to him.
Wonder if have a buy back clause

I've been expecting it ever since the Crawley Town game.
Good luck to him.
Someone at the club is gona have a big hat to fill
Apparently having medicals at Newcastle...
Thing is, he did not even get a game when Giggs and Nani were our only available wingers. Sir Alex opted to put Gibson or Anderson there instead of him.
Is it that he is not improving becuase he is not getting a run of games, or is it that he is not getting a run of games because he is not improving, and there are better choices than him? The manager has to see a good reason why he should give Obertan a run of games, and he apparently didn't. Same with Bebe.
