Many have mate. In fact if you read back enough in the transfer thread pretty much every defender is called crap at one point.

Sorry mate.

Don't believe that one second we'd spend £35m on this invisible man with both Koeman and Walsh in place.

Him as well as Wijnaldum, despite their talent are disliked by many Newcastle fans for their half arsed efforts last season, contributing to their relegation. For that reason alone I'm put off, we need work rate.

On that basis you'll be put off 90% of our current squad after their capitulation and total half-arsedness last season.

I have done this to be fair.

I'd go higher, 95%.

Maybe you liked him the season before when they survived relegation on the last day, £35 million man Sissoko weighing in with as many red cards as assists.

I think you're confusing him with Kevin Mirallas.

It's a good comparison, given they play same position. Last season Kev still scored 4 times as many goals from one third of the time on the pitch Sissoko had.

Mirallas over Sissoko all day for me.

He has played 351 games in his career and amassed 36 goals, I'm no Rachel Wiley but that's nearly 1 in every 10 or 3 per 38 game season.

44 caps for France and 1 goal, considering he has probably played against San Marino and Andorra this is not what I would expect from a £35m player.And I doubt Walsh will spunk a third of his supposed transfer budget on the charlatan, albeit he is a very fast Charlatan. It's a BIG no from me.

That'll be the same player that couldn't get in a poor Everton or Belgium side ahead of some complete dross.

That nothing to do with the utter clown managing Everton, playing Niasse, Kone and Cleverley?

Would have been in Belgium squad had Roberto not totally screwed him over.

May or may not be a decent signing, but the Geordie scruffs are pricing on the basis of a half decent Euro's. £20m tops or let them see who will pay higher.
