If you look up his hometown on Wikipedia, apart from the dodgy name, he’s not even listed in the “people of note” section. 
population : 3436

When you look up his house you get the same result.

strengths: haircut

weaknesses: vision, Hold up Play, passing, first touch, shooting, mobility, spatial awareness.

 

worth £40m? not quite. 

Apart from those weaknesses he is a hell of a player. 

[111180sak 9]

facundo ferreyra, We got him on loan from Shaktar Donetsk.

Never even made the bench. Not because of a fitness problem.  Went back to Ukraine and was quality then moved to Spain I think.

Eh? He looked glorious on the bench against Gillingham in the League Cup.

He needs to work on all aspects of his game you could say.

Would you feel the same if he'd cost £40m?

Well yes because Joelinton has had the benefit of the doubt from me for a long time.  I'd been told since before he played for us that he wasn't a striker and it was painfully obvious he was being played out of position.  I also knew Bruce was fucking useless before he arrived and again that's been painfully obvious.  So I've been prepared to stand up for Joelinton but he's now not being used so much as a striker and he still looks hopelessly average at best.  I'm still holding back a little bit because Bruce has clearly fucked his confidence, but he's showing so little it's hard to believe he'll ever turn out to be a premiership standard footballer.

So on that basis I think I would have given Lewis time regardless of what he cost also.  He's been very disapointing so far though.  Mind I thought he looked very promising on his debut against West Ham so there's potentially a player there once he's deprogrammed from Bruce.

Lewis likes to get close to his man if it’s well up the pitch.Unfortunately when danger is coming our way he quickly( cowardly) tucks in next to the central defenders where he’s weak as piss.This also gives the opposition the option of playing it wide to the player he should be marking .He can never get across to stop the centre coming in,which I believe is his plan.A lot of cowardice needs to be eradicated from his game and pretty quickly.

On the topic of Fumaca, there's a funny article on thefalsenine, my favourite quote being: "Aside from a 4-1 FA Cup Fourth Round victory over Sheffield United - in which the Brazilian ran in the opposite direction of the ball for the sum total of four minutes"

 

big Joe has his issues but at least it's not that bad.

Big Joe would still be working out which was the opposite direction!

I think that was the match when Shearer was shouting to the bench something like “get him off! He’s shite” about two minutes after Fumaca came on as sub

You've got to be questioning what they were watching in training to even put him on the bench. I was playing Under 10s football at the time and I reckon I'd have been a better shout.

That's a bit excessive to be honest, it's only in the final three thirds where he needs to improve.

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

I remember Fumaca’s second touch more often than not was a header,and his third.

Unilateral termination of contract seems fair.

The consensus appears to be that Joelinton is written off. I think that's harsh given he's only been in the country for, what, 18 months? And he's played his entire Newcastle career under the tutelage of a sentient compost heap.

A bit late with the reply but wasn’t there one of them on Fraggle Rock? To be honest, I’d take her, Sprocket or (for that matter) Fulton McKay, over Bruce at the minute

Unfortunately the person who will decide on any punishment is probably the person who sanctioned the signing of the useless get ,so don’t expect  serous punishment.

Andreas Anderson, Rob Macdonald, Frank Pingel, Billy Rafferty, Emmanuel Riviere. 

 

All the same level as this bloke - all utter shite. 

How can you class Rafferty with this sack of shite?

Aye, Baker Street is a good tune

Rafferty could head a ball and nowt else therefore better than Useless Joe.

6ft 2ins standing and 5ft 6ins at his maximum jumping height.I’ve heard other  players being praised because they’re big.’He’s a big lad’. ‘He’s a big unit’.I don’t want anyone thinking along those lines.
