Sad to see him go. He did affect a few games in a positive way. Never given a real chance to show his true ability. I hope he is a complete failure at Newcastle. Doubt he will. Doubt he will be a roaring success either. Suspect he will be 'alright'.

If you'd told me at the end of last season someone would've paid £5m for him I'd have called them mad. A couple of pre season games, although encouraging, doesn't change the fact he just doesn't score enough goals consistently and needs replacing, hopefully we get a striker in now.

Yes but given the paucity of goals we score, it seems a bit daft to let him go unless we have a replacement coz our other "striker" hasn't even scored a goal!

I can see why Newcastle have signed him
If he hits it off and scores 10 goals plus, it was a masterstroke by Benitez. If he flops then its only 5m which in todays market is a snip and they would probably recoup most of that anyhow.
Always liked he lad but just cannot see him scoring too many

Anyone heard if there was something " personal" between Hughes & Joselu ?

Good luck to him. I'm almost certain he will of scored more goals than Berahino at the end of the season

So just as the guy starts to show form in pre-season we up and sell him for a paltry £5m to one of our rivals in the league‽ Who the fuck is in charge of this shit? If he goes on to score double figures for the barcodes, then whomever authorised this deal needs showing the fucking door immediately. If he doesn't? If he proves we were right getting rid?

I fear this will come back and bite us, and particularly M.H.
He wasn't given a fair crack of the whip with us and looked better than what we had, and now have, up front. All of MH's eggs are now firmly in the bera basket. I hope it works out for us but if bera fails to fire and joselu has a decent season then MH is doomed.

I strongly suspect (without being ITK at all), that there's another striker coming in...............maybe even from 'left field' like Rodders

only 1 left from the 3 amigo's, Muniesa gone, Joselu gone, leaves Bojan. These 3 were always together on social media and on official media. Does this mean Bojan is leaving too or has Jese arrival going keep the Spanish bond alive?
5m for Joselu in todays market is a gamble worth taking for Newcastle. We play Newcastle aweay on 16th September, my Birthday, he's guaranteed to score!!

My only hope is Benitez does not play to his strengths and he comes back to haunt us with a Peter Thorne-esque display against us 😬

Can't help but think we will regret this. If he was going abroad then fair enough, but to sell him for such a low fee to a mid table rival is asking for trouble. I can see him getting 7-12 goals if he plays enough games. Don't they play 442 and he's be much better suited in a two up top. What a boost this will give his confidence too knowing that a fellow Spaniard wanted him and that Rafa had been aware of him/watched him over the last few years. Haven't played 4-4-2 in years, 4-2-3-1 is Benitez's preferred formation.

So long Jos. Thanks for a wonderful moment that I will remember to my dying day. I have never before seen a player hug the ref, and I doubt I will ever see it again! Good Luck, may you be a great hit for them when they are back in the Championship next season!
