We have obviously made some bad buys over the years but the signing of Joelinton for £40m must rank as one the worst value for money signings ever. I’m really upset about that!!

Yeah he looks terrible, same with almiron, almiron just reminds me of playing football when your a kid theres was always 1 lad who was really fast but had no idea what to do with the ball 😀
 

Only missed playing a part in 2 PL games since he arrived. This HAS to be a shady deal somehow. Rafa didn't want him apparently and the deal was done before wonky nose arrived. Top of any list of worse players in the PL ever.

Not literally I hope!
I'd happily live the rest of my days without ever seeing Bruce or Rafa naked on the touchline

I’d love to see the reaction in a club boardroom when a club rings up and says ‘hello it’s Newcastle United here..we’d like to offer you £40 million for Joe Linton’..’can we have a minute to think about it’.
 
It's astonishing that he gets picked every game even though he has only ever been dreadful.
Something fishy about this whole deal..
 
You know when people keep saying he will come good, and that he just needs a good pre season? And they say it for 5 years in a row. He’s not even that.

Sometimes players move for big money and for whatever reason it just doesnt work out. Despite that you can generally see glimpses in there play that sort of makes you see why they were signed but with joelinton i cannot see anything in him that would justify £5m never mind £40m, absolutely nothing. Strange signing.

has to be something dodgy about it surely. There is nothing at all that would justify it as you say. But then a few weeks earlier fat Mike made an almost equally unfathomable decision to pay 4m compensation in order to employ Steven Roger Bruce as manager. It’s like when you look at that decision you kind of think ahhhh yeahhh I can see here the unstable workings of someone unhinged enough to spunk 40m on that 6ft 2 fairy

The incredible thing is Mike is obviously financially savvy. He is not very good. Not sure he is quite as bad as Marcelino (yes i know we didn't pay 40m for him) but has to be on any list. Truly awful. How Bruce selects him ahead of Gayle is also baffling.
 
The softest big lad ever, you look at him and his frame suggests if he put the effort in he'd cause bother. Lazy kernt does nowt, hate players who don't even try, the Mags must despise the knob.

Joelinton or Jozy ???

Jozy, at least he had the ability / lack of ability to make you laugh. We also managed to swop him for JD, from one of the worst deals ever to one of the greatest.
