da fazobetai: Newcastle are a strange side. One club in a city mad for football, the Magpies should, arguably, be doing a whole lot better than they are, with a massive stadium packed to the rafters each game and a decent history to attract good quality players.However, the Toon seem to be stuck in a ‘shop window’ niche, in which players from lower leagues and abroad come and go as they seek to build their reputation for a big transfer. It seems that stars either outgrow the club or are cast aside eventually in favour of getting new names in with ‘sell-on value’.And it seems that this trend has cost them, with last year’s best player at St James’ Park having been cast aside… Jonas Gutierrez. The guys over at WhoScored have been crunching the numbers from across 2015 and the Argentine’s overall rating of 7.34 was the highest of any in the black and white shirt to play over 10 games.
  Jonas Gutierrez – 7.34 (10 apps)   Remy Cabella – 7.32 (13 apps)   Sammy Ameobi – 7.05 (12 apps)   Moussa Sissoko – 7.01 (35 apps)   Rob Elliot – 6.97 (10 apps)   Georgino Wijnaldum – 6.96 (19 apps)   Jack Colback – 6.90 (32 apps)   Chancel Mbema – 6.90 (19 apps)   Ryan Taylor – 6.90 (12 apps) Massadio Haidara – 6.89 (14 apps)
Bizarre that they released him…
Gutierrez, who scored a vital goal on the last day of 2014/15 to ensure Premier League safety, was allowed to leave the North East upon the expiration of his contract and is now plying his trade with Deportivo La Coruna in Spain.
Interestingly Remy Cabella came in just behind the cult hero, while Sammy Ameobi was third – both have also been allowed to leave on loan.
And in case you needed further proof Newcastle are transfer bumblers, Hatem Ben Arfa recently did this for Nice…
