Atsu completes £6.2m move to Mags

[Perseus]

Is he any good? Heard his name from somewhere!?

He's magic Look at this shot!

Not many players can shoot like that!

 

[Metro Man]

He's Ghana be a great player.

 

[Bear]

He's absolutely shit championship player at best but no doubt working under World Class Rafa he'll be turned into a world beater

He was absolutely crap for us

Was crap for newly promoted Bournemouth too

0 appearances

Didn't he struggle to hold down a starting place last season?
Might be wrong, can't be arsed to check and not really all that bothered.

Kept out by Gouffran quite a bit

Remember Martinez throwing him into the side in Kiev. Painful to watch.

I don't think i've seen him play tbh but my intial thought was at that its not much of gamble at that price..... then it dawned on me that we probably wont spend close to that on single player all summer ... going to take a while to get used to life back in championship

This is an NUFC forum.

It A NUFC forum not AN NUFC forum mate.

Anyway, transfer kitty watch, so that's £6m out of the £70m gone on a championship player. £64m left.

 

[Bear]

Linked with William Caravlho too reminds me of us being linked to Cavani

 

[viccarlton]

Cheaper than Papy like.

Seems like a typical hot and cold winger. He's no Victor Moyes.

He's gone now man you can take your keyboard off autofill.

Stupid part of the season, journalists and agents just making shit up.

We'll definitely be linked to Carroll, Carrick, and any other player who has some link to Newcastle (even if it's just in the journo's head.)

Of course because it's in the press other fans will laugh at Newcastle "wanting a team full of Geordies".

Fee was agreed at the beginning of his loan last season, and it's quite possible that sum was reserved in last years budget, given that promotion was no foregone conclusion.
Squad winger as stated above, will play in between times and always in cups. Not brilliant, not s***...remains to be seen how he handles the PL. Worth taking a chance on and I suspect that, for the money, many here would be happy to see him in red and white.

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

Shit anyway.

I'd rather have an Itsu

Quite possible but we don't know if the fee is out of this years budget or not so surely got to assume it is?

Speculation pure and simple. Just pointing out that it's possible to make reservations against future costs/investments. Relevant in that FFP runs over a three year historical period and my lot had gone £30M plus on transfers.

 

[prica's crown]

He's not great but it's easier filling a squad with players to play bit part when you know their character and how they interact with the team

my argument for signing yedlin for 4m for us in summer not getting love and manquillo

Yeah I am surprised we didn't do it for that reason too.

Tin hat on, but if he struggled to make a huge impact in the championship I won't expect him to be making a good impact in the next league up.

 

[leerik_canamole]

f***ing shit player. One decent free kick and they thin think he's Cruyff.

Fair comment, but a squad comprised of players who made a huge impact doesn't exist. Blows more cold than hot and often seemed complacent. Occasionally quite good...squad player, no more...
