There’s always going to be a vocal element of Newcastle fans – particularly on social media – who won’t accept that any of the club’s sales have ever been replaced. The issue of Andy Carroll’s replacement was quickly swallowed into Demba Ba’s replacement (without acknowledgement that the latter replaced the former), some will moan that Janmaat isn’t the right replacement for Debuchy despite not seeing him play, and more than any other, fans will moan that Yohan Cabaye is yet to be replaced.
To be honest, there’s probably somebody sitting in the darkest, grumpiest parts of the internet still banging on about how Newcastle never sufficiently replaced Len White. Such is the temperament of the typical football fan.
Until someone emerges as a great player for Newcastle, fans are inevitably backward-thinking, because nostalgic love burns brighter than anything a fan can feel in the moment.
