It was one year ago today that Newcastle made their best two signings of the summer in Allan Saint-Maximin and Jetro Willems. Both became big hits with the fanbase and proved to be quality Premier League talents.
Unfortunately, both Jetro and Allan had their share of injuries. In January, Willems suffered a season-ending knee injury that limited him to just 20 appearances overall with 2 outstanding goals and 2 assists.
As for Saint-Maximin, he just got better and better as the season progressed. He had two severe hamstring injuries but after returning from his second one earlier this year, he was almost unstoppable.
The 23-year-old finished the season with 30 appearances in all competitions. He scored 4 goals and added 7 assists.
Both players have reacted to the anniversary of them joining Newcastle United.

Jetro even responded to Newcastle’s tweet about Allan’s anniversary. He seems to have Newcastle on his mind a lot lately. Hopefully, that’s a good sign.
Big player, and Big respect to him????

Comment #29Woodey, great the Chronicle is involved, but there not exactly pushing the petition etc…., a shame as the Saudis would have regenerated Newcastle a little bit, revamped the ground, training area and given the whole area a massive boost ! Why can’t the journalists from the Chronicle really push this issue it would be great for everybody concerned in the N/East. I still think pushing the Reubens, Staveley would be the right way to go, NUFC is really getting in their blood ! IMO

Comment #35The more I think about and read what people have written about the Premier league, the more I feel we should get a reply from masters, we probably won’t but we can make his life unbearable with keeping this public.
