Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Id be happy with anything that means a change from Mr offside(cisse) Didn't some other user keep going on about Cisse being offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hasn't cut it in the Bundesliga. Had a knee injury, problems with manager etc...Technically sound player, good in the air and apparently very confident. So, a cockless crock with an attitude problem? In that case may I be the first to say he's fucking shit and should be sold. Once we've bought him that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Two 20+ goal seasons in five - Cisse's managed two in eight, Cisse one in Seven. 70 goals in 170 games (0.41 Goals Per Game) - Cisse's on 0.41, Remy 0.38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2980 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Because Ashley is like a lion. He picks off the stragglers with minimal effort to appease the pride then lies around doing fuck all the rest of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostile_statue 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Anybody know what kind of player he is? He's a rather big lad, suppose he's good in the air/good target? Has to be a better option than Shola when we're looking for goals and turn to the more direct/long ball game, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope he won't get a renewal in June so it's plausible. Fear that he's Remy's replacement and Campbell will be expected to step into Shola's boots though.

rogerbarton 24 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 He's still young, definitely worth a loan to see how he fares. We undoubtedly need support in the striking positions. If I recall correctly, Graham Carr has always been very keen on De Jong. He thought his style of play would suit the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken 119 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Four pages in and no one's actually properly seen him play then, aside from a small segment on youtube. The fact Cisse and Foluwashola are shit and useless should be enough to want another striker in, regardless of his perceived pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Kid's still only 23, it hasn't worked out for him in Germany but hopefully he can find some form and his shooting boots over here. He was different class in Holland like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What exactly has happened in Germany with him? Does anyone know why he hasn't played much since April? I remember being really excited last time we were in for him after his time in Holland. Just hope he hasn't developed any serious confidence issues or anything while in Germany.

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 32 in 50 in his last season in Holland. Carr seems to have a knack of knowing which foreigners will succeed in our league and which ones won't. Gave Altidore a miss for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 He's got everything. Another in a long line of good Dutch forwards. From what I've read he's supremely confident and works hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a line that's often trotted out but Kezman and Alves also knew where the goal was in Holland, not so much in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I know it's a line that's often trotted out but Kezman and Alves also knew where the goal was in Holland, not so much in England. A leading scout (whatever that means) had this to say about him Luuk de Jong is a strange one. Monchengladbach paid quite a lot of money for him - around £10million - and he has been a bit of a flop there; he's hardly played this season. He's a very hard-working centre-forward; he runs and runs, he's good at receiving the ball and making himself available but he maybe lacks that goalscoring instinct. http://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/9131711/January-targets-assessed-by-leading-scout Edited January 28, 2014 by Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9777 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 He didn't feature this season because Gladbach signed Max Kruse in the summer, who has been very good for them. As de Jong hardly had any preseason he fell down the pecking order, also because he didn't Suizid Favre's playing style. He wasn't prolific in his first season but had quite a few assists.

Mr Gittes 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm already looking forward to Kinnear's programme notes on Sat - "delighted to have secured the services of a player of De Jong's quality" - "as I stated im my last programme notes, it is our aim to add one or two players to the squad per transfer window. That aim has been achieved". "Really pushed the boat out" blabla "difficult to compete with the likes of Scunthorpe" etc blabla Honestly, I could write those "notes" myself, just give me a bottle of Whiskey and half an hour of time.
