Obertan made 19 starts after joining from Manchester United last summer, and he still hasn't won over the Newcastle fans.

He covers a lot of ground, granted, but not usually with the ball!

Obertan: “For my first season, I’m quite happy.

"You always want more. I’ve played maybe 20 games and, compared to the two previous seasons, that’s a lot.

“I’m quite happy with it. I’m just a bit frustrated about the injuries, but that’s football.”

However, manager Alan Pardew wasn't quite as enthusiastic.

Pardew: “We have to be patient with him.

“He understands that he needs to threaten the goal a bit more, but his pace, trust me, makes the opposition go on the back foot.”
