Newcastle United fans react as Rolando Aarons and Achraf Lazaar make Sheffield Wednesday loan moves

The Newcastle United pair will spend the rest of the season at Sheffield Wednesday.

Rolando Aarons walks outside during the Newcastle United Training session at Carton House on July 13, 2018, in Kildare, Ireland.

Achraf Lazaar passes the ball during the Newcastle United Training Session at The Newcastle United Training Centre on November 15, 2018, in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Newcastle United fans are reacting after two of their side’s players, Rolando Aarons and Achraf Lazaar, left to join Sheffield Wednesday on loan.

The pair will spend the rest of the season at Hillsborough after failing to break into Rafa Benitez’s plans on Tyneside.

Some Wednesday supporters have already expressed excitement at the new arrivals, but what do those of a Newcastle persuasion make of Aarons and Lazaar?

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Aaron’s needs to get stuck in and work hard. He looks lazy and thinks the odd trick can help win games. He’s a young lad that thinks “ I’ve made it , look at me”!

Must be an attitude thing with Aarons coz I think he’s performed better than some when he’s played under Benitez…
Scored in that 5-0 win over Spurs
Scored in the FA cup against Forest
Played well against Man Utd & almost scored but for a goal line clearance

Give him a chance

That’s a great move, especially for Aarons. A few weeks ago he couldn’t get a game in the Slovakian league!

He never got a decent chance by Benitez. At Palermo he was one of the best LBs in the leauge in that season. He benched Emerson from Chelsea who was on loan at Palermo and other guys. He is not the best at defending but he is good attacking wise has a good shot.

Aarons is class on his day. But struggled in the Czech league, so don’t know what’s going off there. Had lots of injuries too.

Lazaar has never been anywhere near our first team, not been a good signing really. But could prove me wrong if given a chance.

Hope the both of them have a blinder out on loan and flourish. I still think both have a lot to bring to the Geordie’s!

Aarons, a winger, adds pace to a Sheffield Wednesday side often lacking in attacking ideas this season, while Lazaar, a left-back, provides cover for the absent Matt Penney.

Speaking via the official Wednesday Youtube channel, the latter credited the former Owls forward, Benito Carbone, as being the catalyst in his move to Hillsborough.

23 Aug 1997: Benitio Carbone of Sheffield Wednesday in action during the FA Carling Premiership match against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park in London, England. The game was drawn 1-1. ...

Lazaar was managed by Carbone at first club Varese.

Aarons also had a spell in Italian football with Hellas Verona, and spent the first half of this campaign loaned to the Czech side, Slovan Liberec.
