“Couldn’t agree more” – A lot of Newcastle United fans agree with Darren Bent’s comments on Joelinton.
The striker, who cost £40m, has only scored once this season, but this poor return can be put down to a lack of service for the Brazilian.
Bent believes that Joelinton is a good player, but he can’t show that unless Newcastle find a way to get him some service.
Bent believes that his price tag creates problems for him as people expect the striker to score no matter what.
Bent is totally correct in his view on Joelinton.
The 23-year-old has good technique and holds the ball up, but his team cannot get him into scoring positions.
These Newcastle fans are pleased with Bent’s comments.
See the best of the reaction below.
Darren Bent on Joelinton: “People will not care, they go: ‘we paid all this money for you, you should make something happen.
“But unless you’re Messi, every striker needs service. He’s getting zero. It’s making him look bad, but he isn’t a bad player.” #NUFC

Completely agree with this, would’ve been great to see him link up with a player like Perez for example. Needs someone to slot into that position asap or we aren’t going to be scoring goals for a while

Agree with what he’s said here, he’s not getting the chances
