# Newcastle United: Joelinton value drop since signing in the summer has supporters begging club to ‘cut their losses’

**According to an update by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joelinton/profil/spieler/333241), relayed through [the Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/amount-joelintons-value-dropped-summer-17766274), Newcastle  striker Joelinton’s value has apparently dropped to £13m less than what the Magpies paid for him, resulting in a number of supporters slamming the Brazilian’s form whilst also imploring the club to sell him off.**

The Brazilian, who signed for a club record [£40m](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/07/23/joelinton-completes-40m-newcastle-move-club-break-transfer-record/) last summer, has scored just [once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joelinton/leistungsdaten/spieler/333241)in the Premier League all season, with that goal coming in a [1-0 victory at Spurs](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joelinton/leistungsdaten/spieler/333241) way back in August. Even though Joelinton has managed strikes against League One minnows [Rochdale and Oxford United](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joelinton/leistungsdaten/spieler/333241) in the FA Cup, his market value has apparently dropped to [£27m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joelinton/profil/spieler/333241), with some supporters taking that a signal the club should ‘[cut their losses](https://twitter.com/john19551969/status/1229714423885049856)‘ sooner rather than later.

Indeed, even compared to Andy Carroll, Joelinton hasn’t managed to equal his aerial duels per game record ([5.8](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/23383/Show/Andy-Carroll)) or register the number same amount of assists ([3](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/23383/Show/Andy-Carroll)) despite playing almost quadruple the number of minutes, as [per WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/201755/Show/Joelinton).

As a result, these supporters have voiced their anguish over the striker on social media – here’s what they had to say.

> He’s a championship player like Mitrovic. Should have got Rondon when we had the chance. Might have been on 40 points by now.

> The only question it provokes is why they think he’s worth £27m? If Nufc can find the club willing to pay that they should cut their losses wrap him in bubble wrap and post him off

> If we still had Carr he would of went to France and got us about 18 players with that £40m

> you mean a club would buy him.

> Was a huge gamble based on his record and it’s failed. If it wasn’t for our defenders scoring it would’ve cost us our place in the premier league too, and still might

> Well he was never worth £40m in the first place, so I think £5m max is quite enough. Some chief clown up high, needs sacking for this shocking piece of business. But of course Ashley and his mob know what they are doing!!!!!!!!
