Kanj Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Debuchy was awful last season, worst on the new lot by some distance but I think he'll be very different next season should he stay (think he will want to go as soon as Cabaye moves) Honestly don't think he will. But fair enough. He's made a point to come out and say otherwise whilst being on holiday and such which he could have ignored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fair enough. He's made a point to come out and say otherwise whilst being on holiday and such which he could have ignored. He only joined us due to Cabaye, 100% certain of this. If he goes he won't want to be here anywhere near as much with him, top that with a shit manager, no signings and general depression around the place, why on earth would he want to stay? I'm not fussed either way, I just hope if he does want out its quick and we can move on and get someone else in. Btw I'd rather both stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of idiots tbf, I didnt even watch the Liverpool game, my opinion was based on everything before that and it was average at best and fucking hopeless at his worst. He made Simpson look a player when he came back in to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Don't get the Debuchy hate at all like. I thought he looked good on the ball, quick, aggressive and good in the air. Always looking to get forward as well. He got caught defensively a bit and had a melt down at one point, but ability wise I think he's fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Gouffran was the best. Debuchy was good but was often caught out defensively and it made out alot of awkward situations. Trying to be cocky when defending rather often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The January signings came in to a different league at a difficult time. Give them at least a full season to show their worth, it's too early to jump into conclusions atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made Simpson look a player when he came back in to the team. Exactly this. I was fortunate enough to miss the L'pool massacre. But Debuchy was alright/shit when I saw him. Simpson looked stronger and knew how to defend in this division. I am certain Debuchy will be better this season than Simpson ever was but honestly, Simpson played better than him for those 5 months whenever he was back in the side.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Walcott and Owen were both so slow at that age. Only once they hit the 20's did they start to get their natural pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't hate him. I'm putting it down to PL inexperience. Santon on the other hand. Aye, he's so young he has plenty of time to learn how to defend. But at the moment, I think our fullbacks look very suspect defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think Debuchy probably performed the best out of our january buys. I think Gouffran but I don't think Debuchy was 'awful' before that Liverpool game Gouffran made the most important contribution (goal against QPR) but after a bright start seemed to be fairly average in terms of his attacking qualities to me, in spite of his good workrate. Barring a few silly mistakes, Debuchy was pretty consistently one of our better performers in most games imo - solid defensively (and suprisingly good aerially), good going forward,decent positional sense and comfortable in possession.

Disco Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 He was bang average. My main concern is that is he isn't the quickest and given that he likes to get forward it results in him being out of position quite a lot. This is a problem when our central midfielders are too thick/lazy to fill and cover for him. He's also petulant but that's not going to change.

TRon Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Debuchy offers a lot off options going forwards to a passing team. Maybe Pards should pick up the phone and ask the French manager how he makes it work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
