Interpolic Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Like Kanji said, he was probably taking the piss after what Mbemba did. The sort of thing that would be seen as funny if we were winning games. I think it's decent craic tbh, shows the players are interacting with each other at least. It's bollocks to use it as a stick to beat him with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bollocks to use it as a stick to beat him with. 100% agree. I like and liked it. Think it's hilarious. Can imagine them making Florian wear this like Mbemba did unintentionally and he's kept it on. Would be funny to see all new signings do that this season : Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Dress sense aside I'm not massively concerned about this lad yet as long as the team starts performing and he's integrated slowly but successfully. Considering the money we spent (by our standards) it's unlikely he'll be frozen out but it happened with Cabella. Important he doesn't get a lengthy injury like Cabella did I guess, so he can take the chance when it comes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of thing that would be seen as funny if we were winning games. I think it's decent craic tbh, shows the players are interacting with each other at least. It's bollocks to use it as a stick to beat him with. Totally agree with this. If we were winning games, everyone (the press included) would be all over it. Very unfair to use this as an excuse to have a dig at him. Bit disappointed in Shearers criticism of the guy tbh. It's been quite stinging and not massively constructive. If you want to dig him out at least do it with some thought. Edit - though, if I'm honest, I'd expected to see him have a bit more of a turn of pace and/or bag of tricks. He's not shown much as yet.

Beren Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Seems like the kind of prospect who would really thrive, shine and be confident in the right environment. He's at Newcastle though. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Too soon to pass a meaningful judgment on Thauvin yet....when he has been at the club for 3 months we might get a better idea how valuable he will be - or otherwise. He is still finding his feet in a new country and a league which is much tougher to play in although that doesn't seem to have affected Martial's start with Man U. Time will tell.

I think the PL is easier to adapt to for attacking players. at least initially. For defenders I think it's more difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sense he's going to be a bit wasteful, just hope fans in stadium, coaches, and people like us, keep being encouraging. Focussing on the pearls which I also think will come, will hopefully help him keep trying. If he's a confidence player, as the most talented flair players (if not all players to some extent) seem to be, and given his age, big move and hassle/negativity with former 'fans', here's to getting behind him! If we settle for one in five crosses/shots/dribbles coming off, the 1 can become 2, or 3, but will never be 5/all. Just get him on the pitch Steve! Please. Still think this. Hoping he isn't starting to hide/the coaches can get him full of himself again. Felt for him (in equal measure to feeling frustarted by him) against Sheff Wed, there were audible groans as unforced error after unforced error/bad ball left his boot.

The College Dropout Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 We love a trier and I think he'll be given time. But there's only so many times someone can keep losing take-ons, passes not reaching their man etc. Signing big money players low on confidence was never going to be the smartest move.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 He'll settle and do well I reckon. To be fair to him, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my football when his lass looks like she does and is posting pictures up on Instagram all day. I'd spend all my time just looking at her naked.

KaKa Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Shearer's comments are really embarrassing in my opinion. The least of my concerns with Thauvin so far is how much he's tracking back! Crazy remark from Shearer really. Unfortunately, quite typical of what is said when a foreigner struggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Shearer often reveals his old-school punditry leanings TBH. His spat with Ginola was unfortunate as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Let's hope he doesn't go into management, then. He'll be another one of the old school track-back bullies who'll sign cloggers. If his tweets are anything to go by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think I love this guy already, like. Blatantly getting a bit of a kick out of winding mongs up with the tux pics. tbf - i think he needs to learn that there is a defensive side of the game too. Not saying he needs to be a second LB like jonas was. At the moment we need all players to fight 100% - thats the way out of this poor run. But i was not really happy to see obertan come on instead of him against Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Lamela looked quite poor when he first joined Spurs, and he has improved significantly I think, and is beginning to come along for them. Thauvin will be fine. Could have done without being thrown straight into the team IMO. He'll be good once he settles a bit. especially if Perez and Mitrovic are on the pitch with him.
