Too early to tell, going by recently then certainly will be up there. See how our playing, form, results and other results go and in a month's time can make an accurate assessment. Good signs though.
Because in all honesty from what we've seen this season he isn't too far off from Krul ability wise regardless of what we think of him. We'd get decent money selling off a Dutch international and investing the money in the squad.
Swap Krul and Elliot, I agree with the rest.
We've seen theres hardly much between all our keepers, I'd cash in on Krul if possible as hes got the most value. Having said that, not sure we'd see it invested back in the squad.
Looked totally inept and ineffective, the only contribution was gaining fouls in areas where he should be dominating the possession and creating something
From Sportsmail's Craig Hope at St James' Park
'Florian Thauvin will do well to see half-time here. The £13m winger has lost the ball every time he's touched it and Steve McClaren is pulling out what hair he has.
'The Toon boss has just spun to the dugout and yelled 'f****** Thauvin' after his latest episode of wastefulness.'
Fuck me.
