Good pro. Consistent player. Great attitude. Hope he gets a good move as it will probably be the last of his "major" career moves; so hopefully he can get a good club and a good 3 year deal.
He'd do a good job for anyone. 100% professional, was one of a core group of players that made us a football team again, rather than the collection of individuals West Ham were before. A great example for anyone joining the club. Many thanks JOB ;wave
I didn't watch them regularly. So my view is based on some watching and some reading of match reports etc. He seemed to be good in the sense of not lazy, made stuff happen, stepped up when needed, gave 100%, etc.
Perhaps that didn't give the full picture. ;hmm
Although I think Newcastle were pretty much a shambles defensively from front to back, so not sure how much responsibility he bears.
PS (edit): If I was trying to sort out Newcastle, I'm not sure I'd be prioritising a new RB.
Back in April the Chronicle (NE local) said that Sam wanted JO'B at Sunderland as he's not happy with RBs he has and ended up playing DeAndre Yedlin on loan from Spurs.
Joey would be a good signing for any bottom half PL club tbh. He's a better defender than most RBs in the division, and he's pretty handy going forward too. Add in his versatility at CB, LB and DM and you've got a decent footballer.
I think he'd suit Sunderland well. They play with two very attacking fullbacks (Yedlin & van Aanholt) and it leaves them way too open. Switch out Yedlin for JOB and that side is far more balanced.

It's been announced on the club site, billy ;ok

Hope he finds another club ;thumbsup
June after five years as a Hammer, during which time the 29-year-old helped the Club
A reliable and committed player, 30-year-old O’Brien
;doh
Always felt people underrated him a bit.
If he stays injury free, he is still a decent PL RB imo.
Would do a good job for Sunderland.
Good signing.
Just to continue the colour theme
(Is contracted to 2020 (unless he has a release clause) and was a stand-out performer for them last season. (imo)
I believe he stood out in the attacking sense but wasn't necessarily the best at the defending lark
Could be wrong though...
