Yes occassionally they come back ok, if they have enough class to be still at a good level. But never reallly the same again. Its the first decent argument for a reason not to sign him. Than the usual, "he's tosh". I'm sure if you go through any of our rumours here for the last decade. Someone will have said that.

Can be a bum steer that though - based on how many challenges/tackles they go for.
I can't remember his name. But that South American centre back was awful, especially if you played him with Stones. Oh just got the joke.
Doesn't surprise me about Allan. He always gets into the wrong position where it's hard to make a tackle. His issues are more a complete lack of positional awareness rather than not being able to tackle.

I vaguely remember him being compared to Rice at one point under Benitez.
Ring master
Player Valuation: £90m
Whatever way its done, it looks like a match made in hell, stat wise anyway
He only played 19 PL games across two seasons under Benitez, just fyi

I love the mental gymnastics being performed by our fans to convince themselves that this is a shrewd signing.
It is massively underwhelming and we are just re-filling our squad with next year's dead wood.
To those who say "but he was linked with utd for 50mil"... Every season a player has a decent spell and gets linked with a big move. Remember berahino being linked to the big clubs for silly money? What's he up to these days? There's a reason it was a link and didn't happen.

25 this year and not even made 100 Newcastle apps.
Well both players like to press/hassle (they both rank highly in presses per defensive action - PPDA, I don't even pretend to fully grasp that but it measures how much each player presses the opposition on the ball).
Both get bypassed pretty easily because neither team press very well. Newcastle have pressed better under Howe. Everton's 'press' is non-existent.
ffs I thought he was 22. That's his Orc-like brother.
Not that 24 is old just a low amount of appearances. Even Davies has made more for us and we’re a better team than them.
By 24 it's pretty clear what type of player you are though isn't it. Like, 21-24 is your development stage and then you either be good or go full Cleverley and just be the jack of all trades, master of none. Or turn into Ross Barkley.
….just a ridiculous comment. I’m sure posters are not in the least bothered if he’s not foreign, more that he struggles for game time at 19th placed Newcastle. Surely that’s reasonable.
