17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Seydou Doumbia
3. He Could Struggle To Settle
This is the reason he only managed to play 14 times for Roma. His career in Italy wasn't cut short because he wasn't capable of keeping the likes of Gervinho on the bench, but because he simply didn't take to life in Rome and couldn't get to grips with the culture in Serie A. I cant see myself going back (to Roma), he told Jeune Afrique. Even though I still have a two-year contract, I think well come to an agreement. It went wrong for me. The fans started whistling me from the first game and it didnt stop until I left. The coach made me play when I had just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations and I dont think I was ready. So if Seydou misses his first chance in a black and white shirt against West Brom on Saturday, make sure you don't boo him!
