Image: Newcastle man’s latest post sums up how disappointing this season has been for him

Have any of Newcastle’s recent signings been more disappointing than Kenedy? The Brazilian moved to St. James’ Park on a season-long loan after a strong half-season last term, and the deal made a lot of sense.

However, fast forward to 2019, and it’s fair to say that the Brazilian is no longer the popular player that he once was. Rather, a lack of form, fitness and quality has seen his reputation diminish, and he’s hardly had a kick for much of 2019.

His latest Instagram post, then, serves to highlight just how poor the spell has been. It can be seen below.

Sure, Kennedy is trying to be positive, but one word sticks out amongst the rest in that statement – failure. There’s no denying that his second spell has been below par, and it’s clear that he’s failed to make an impact at Newcastle.

That means that, realistically, a long-term stay at the club is unlikely, and he doesn’t have anyone to blame but himself for that. It could have been so different.

Thoughts?
