Please about this loan, happy he's at a premier league club and I just hope he can get some good game time instead of just being benched

The Watford loan didn't work out very well, hopefully he'll actually get some games this time. If not, that'll probably be the end for him here.

Kennedy surely has potential. I'm glad it's just a loan and not a sale. Hopefully he'll play regularly in Newcastle now that he's over there.

Newcastle need goals so it will be interesting if they push him forward. 

good loan move for all

Please play him as a winger and we see the end of the attempts to convert him to a LB/LWB. I still think he has plenty of potential in a forward position, looking forward to seeing how he gets on!

Hopefully he plays lot of alongside Benitez's teams. He gots this potential that the brazilian footballer have. 

Hopefully add a few millions on to his price tag. Average overall game with a few flashes of brilliant. Bet he's have a nice youtube skill video somewhere.

He’s going out to get game time but we are another player down and so less options on rotation when needed

i forgot he was only 21. feels like he's older. at that age i feel constant game time is only going to improve him and at newcastle he has the coach and style of play to thrive. 

Tough one for him, not defensive enough to keep his place as a wing back but not good enough to play as a winger, yet! A good run of games at Newcastle could do wonders for his confidence and attitude.

Different manager and coaching staff might even improve him or bring more out of his ability.

I can't recall, but did the Toon give Atsu much playing time when we had him on loan there?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the final chance for Kenedy.  I'm sure he'll either improve or be sold on in the summer.  Probably sold on even if he does improve.

I'd've liked to see him play further forward, but he was never going to replace pedro, Hazard, or Wilian.

He might have been useful last night to replace Willian yet guess we will never know. 

The fact that Newcastle bought Atsu suggests they saw enough quality.

Rubbish for Newcastle today, if I didn’t know any better you’d think he wasn’t even on the pitch.

Whisper it quietly but he looked everything we didn't tonight against Burnley. Energetic, lively and likely.

Wait, this is the performance people were raving about last night ? 

I mean, he had a few good moments, but i didn't see anything spectacular in that video. Lots of misplaced passes, crosses and touches in there, with some moments of quick feet and a decent amount of strength.

It wasn't spectacular, but I thought it looked like he played well, hit the post, got an assist, could've got a pen, some decent crosses, some poor, but we know that's a key weakness for him.

His attitude looks a lot better recently, I think he is the sort of player that will win the Newcastle fans over. 

He's isn't a wing back though for me.  Needs to be further forward with less defensive responsibility.

His debut is good enough for me.

you know the rules scott, the second any player leaves, be it a transfer or loan, every ok display is magnified by 10, and any sh*t games are just completely ignored.

I was expecting an Oscar v Juventus type performance with the way people were hyping it up 

He's looking really good for Newcastle at the moment.

An assist already.
