The full picture
Newcastle United sent Nick Woltemade on loan to Juventus, a decision that split opinion among fans, according to Newcastle Toons. Some believed it was an oversight, while others thought it was the right decision. The consensus was that Woltemade wasn't being used correctly at Newcastle.
Woltemade has scored three goals in three Europa League games for Juventus, playing as a centre-forward. At Newcastle, he scored five goals in his first eight games in the same position, but was later moved to other roles. Newcastle currently struggles to find a regular goalscorer.
The decision to let Woltemade leave was partly due to his lack of pressing ability, but Newcastle's press isn't working anyway. Woltemade's current form for Juventus may raise questions about whether letting him leave was the best decision, according to Newcastle Toons.

Source context
Newcastle United’s decision to send Nick Woltemade out on loan to Juventus this summer split opinion. Some fans believed it was an oversight, some believed it was the right decision - but the one consensus was that big Nick wasn’t being used correctly on Tyneside. Five goals in his opening eight games from centre-forward showed the German had goalscoring prowess, but the following period saw him shoehorned into the number 10 and the midfield three, which did absolutely nothing positive for his chances of success and it couldn’t have been more apparent. Now, whilst Newcastle struggle to find a regular goalscorer up front, Woltemade continues to put his minutes to good use, scoring and assisting yesterday to take his Europa League tally to three goals in three games.
