Guest firetotheworks Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He's a waste of space and has amounted to nothing and will never improve. Everything is in his head and that's a shame for him, but from the outside looking in he's s*** and he'll never ever be good enough. The fact that we have the most talented player that most of us have seen since Beardsley or Gazza training with the kids just makes the entire thing all the more pathetic.

ponsaelius Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He's absolutely shite and the worst thing about this pre-season is he has 'played his way' back into contention. He'll be in the 18 for the opening day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He looks decent against average European sides that play a slow game hence why he looked competent against teams like Brugge and Bordeaux in the Europa league. He looks awful against anyone else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 In the Players in Public thread, I mentioned that I ran into him here in California earlier this summer. He said that he was told by Pardew at the season's end that he was not going to get any playing time if he stayed. This summer his agent was actively looking for a move back to France or another English club. He said that he didn't care where as long as he could be reasonably certain that he would start. He said this in the context that he wanted to improve as a player and advance his career. Didn't quite go as far as say that AP and co. were holding him back or not giving any constructive development. Like many of our middling foreign players, he was a bit apprehensive when I identified myself as a NUFC supporter when we first started talking. Was waiting to see if I was going to lay into him or go on a rant no doubt. After that didn't happen, he was pretty forthcoming and honest. I recognise that this all means nothing as AP could change his mind, Obertan's agent has had no interested from other clubs, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He looked our best player on the pitch by a mile today, pains me to say it but if he played anything near like he did today in the prem we would have a useful player. Liked Remy's energy and arons again also (although he is still quite "raw") Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 He can be decent when not under any kind of pressure. Weak mentally. Exactly. If he could play a season of meaningless friendlies in front of empty stadiums he'd be up for player of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The fact that things like Obertan being our best player happen is exactly why I take no interest in pre-season. It's fucking wank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 His only half decent performances have came today and against shit opposition in the early stages of the Europa league (i think). In any pressure game against decent opposition he goes missing and makes some simple things, like first touch and short passing look difficult. I would love to see him do well next season for us, but i cant see that happening. Even players like Perch and Williamson didn't take 3 years to get up to a decent standard, from being totally dog shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Weak as piss in every way. So he had a decent game today, whoop de doo. If Schalke put their girl guides side out and they fancied it Obertan would cry off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The only possible role, and even then it's a long shot, this bloke has at the club is to be put on the bench and brought on to exploit his pace against tired defences when we need a goal. The odd flash here or there doesn't erase the countless appearances where he's been fucking dreadful. He is what he is and he's not going to get any better.
