It’s a first. He’s got that. The first PL player to sign for a club owned by a country with one of the worst human rights records on the planet. War criminals responsible for a humanitarian disaster. And it’s been said enough what they do in their own country. Not to mention state decreed murder of a journalist in a foreign country. This doesn’t bother him now, obviously as if it did he wouldn’t have signed. But maybe just maybe when he’s getting on in years and he looks back on his life it may sink in what he did. Out of selfishness and greed. He was the first.

Wor crimes
 

Am I missing something here?
They're signing a 31 year old run of the mill right back yet the press (local and national) are going on as if they've signed Pele in his pomp, they've even got reporters (if you can call them that) outside the shit tip to try and get a glance at this world famous superstar.🤷‍♂️

I’m surprised he’s only signed or potentially only signing a 2.5 year contract
I’d of though it’s his last big pay packet at 31?

Sadly it won’t take much to get out of the relegation mire for them, the others above are dire and the gap isn’t big enough.

The Press have clearly forgot what happened to one of there own and are now kissing arse chasing access to the boardroom.

He's better than run of the mill tbf

Not really, he wouldn't get in the top six or seven teams in the league.
I'd say that makes him run of the mill.

Other than the big 3 and probably Arsenal I think he'd get in every other side in the league. He started for the best team in Spain last season
He's a very good player.

He is but they've got local reporters outside the ground labelling him "The poster boy of the new era"

If this was Sunderland or Middlesbrough signing Englands 31yr old 4th choice RB it would barely get a mention

Well aye but that doesn't alter the fact he's a good player

Seems a canny player,but its his last big pay day and he wants to come back to UK.
Not many have stepped aside in the race for him.
Will be the highest wages in the champo.

The state of those replies to the original tweet man. f***ing hell. If anyone needs a definition of sportswashing, then it's right there in those replies.

What a bunch of thick, fawning, ignorant cretins.

It is like rewinding the clock 100 years, Doffing their caps to the rich land owner. It is absolutely cringe worthy reading those replies. They certainly chose the right club as every other has more self respect for their entire heritage to be so easily given over in the hope of some success.

So he’s gone from a very good player to just a good player
 
The thing that gets me is most Newcastle fans I know all like manquillo and claim he's one of their better players. So why start replacing him first? Just seems like a get who we can approach.
