First Frenchman To Leave Toon!

Romain Amalfitano has returned to his native France after showing NOTHING since his signing. The midfielder has joined French club Dijon FCO on loan.Amalfitano has made four first-team appearances for Newcastle, all in the Europa League, since joining the Magpies last summer from Reims.The 24-year-old’s last appearance came against Maritimo last November.After joining United, he said: “When a club like Newcastle wants you to play for them, it can only be a good thing.“I have taken the opportunity to play in the Premier League and cannot wait to get going.”Sadly, he has looked like a fish out of water on Tyneside, and is another of the 'French Revolution' that has failed to live up to expectation.
