Paul OKon going down the drain

[traja47]

having a terrible start to the season, despite coming from playing in the Cyprus league, that should not be that good???

[jonk]

Yeh something tells me Cyprus isn't a mecca for beautiful football

[Liam]

Hes been shit ever since he left Walsall. Dogshit for Leeds five years back.

[jogobonito]

4 me he hasnt had the best start, but will come good. He will always be a great distributor of the ball, but was a classy player when at club brugges before being hampered with knee injuries for the rest of his career. At the time of his prowess he was arguably the best player Australia ever produced. World Youth Championships, he was one of the reasons why we made the semis.

I think Newcastle just bought him because of his name and nothing else.

[Spewing Forth!!!]

I think Newcastle just bought him because of his name and nothing else.

And now they are buying Stan Collymore. What a joke!

[Bendigo Blue]

His first few games weren't much, but he was OK against the scum.

[Sam]

His knee is rooted!

[drina_69]

i was looking foward to see him at da start of the season but now ive seen his shit

[bazza]

Im so glad him an Zelic werent recalled into the Socceroos team after idiots were calling for them to come back and fix up the defence.

[Hugie]

It's not his fault that the entire team around him are terrible. Newcastle don't have a defence and Okon isn't really a centre-back. If they're going to play him in defence they need to play him as a sweeper with two big-tackling players in front of him. No one else is working with him. Newcastle are a rabble!

[SydneyTillIDie]

He's atrocious defensively. He can still place a pass on a $5 note almsot anywhere on the pitch - but when you're playing centre-half that doesn't count for a lot when you're leaking goals.

In his first 3 games alone he was directly responsible for 3 goals conceded (no one else). Let alone another last week.

[Rob]

He's been rubbish.

[semja_]

Round 1 against the Knights he was good but thats been about it

Is that foot injury or whatever it is hampering him perhaps?
