Memphis Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Payet is 6 years older, is he not? Part of the price of the deal is the potential involved, whether that is realised here or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 L'OM fans really dislike him. Personally, I'm really in two minds over this deal. When Cabella was coming to Newcastle, French journalists- while citing his lack of physicality- had nothing but glowing reviews over the attitude and ability of a player who was a key component (often from the bench admittedly) for a title winning side. Their predictions were that, although he might need time to adapt, Newcastle were getting a really good player with a strong appetite for success. Now contrast that to our signing of Thauvin. Although a few years ago he was being touted as the next Ribery, he has regressed massively. Most of the same journalists are ridiculing a deal that sees us (essentially) giving away a more established player as well as overpaying for a massively out of form player who may never live up to his potential. The guy could be a superstar, or he could be a rather expensive foreign flop. I guess this is Newcastle though; bags of potential with excitement, twinned with the specter of disappointment looming. Nervous about the deal but looking forward to seeing if he can realize his potential in a black and white shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm sick of being told what I should think about a player by fans of other clubs and journalists from other countries. Ok I get they should have the knowledge base (french journalists) to make a judgement on our signings but let me ask, would you trust what an English journalist or an ex footballer from this country has to say on a player? I know I wouldn't. I'll make a judgement once the lad has played a dozen or so games and even then he's still a bairn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Why's he having a medical when he's turned us down so many times? He's clearly just on the wind up. Obviously has no interest of joining us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
