The College Dropout Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Can't really compare this lad to HBA. HBA was a worldly talent with an attitude/work ethic problem. Nobody has ever doubted HBA's ability. Thauvin seems like someone that is willing to try but there's huge doubts over his ability and skill. There's a good chance he just isn't rated by SMC on an ability level. That was never the issue with Hatem. Well you can, because that's who he replaced. That's why it's also okay to compare Colback with Cabaye. Them being different types of players has nothing to do with it, if one replaces the other you expect something better. As for the bit in bold, your hero Pardew did. You've missed understood my point. You can't compare them in why they aren't in the team when available. I don't think Pardew doubted HBA's ability at all. His exclusion for the team wasn't down to ability at all. How could it? It's application, work ethic, attitude etc. Issues that have plagued Hatem's career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't McClaren on the board and a member of our so-called transfer committee? Supposedly McClaren had no input into the Summer transfer business.

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 In Mike Ashley terms his treatment, and that of HBA and Cabella is like buying a bulk load of Donnay trainers that could make you loads of money but for some reason you only put one or two pairs up for sale each week so no one knows they exist. Why the manager would do such a thing is inexplicable and in SD reality he'd not have made it to the end of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I can't believe we signed this lad for a good amount of £££ and we don't even play him when we have the worst CM in the league and desperate need of a CB considering the state of Coloccini. Shows how fucking stupid our transfer strategy is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Not sure Gini would really cover the CM spot, I'd gambool for the Sissoko. Gini needs to play free 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Massive waste signing this lad so far. He needs 20 mins minimum every game to keep adapting so he can pick up form and start games. The money spent on this lad could have signed two first team players if used properly. 20 minutes? How about we give him a full game for the next 10 or so games? Why do we keep bringing in these French wingers when our head coaches are too afraid to bed them in properly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Players like Thauvin would surely do better coming into a side with a mix of foreign and British players where there was essentially a strong core/spine. Our problem is we have a collection of individuals combined with bang average managers and so players generally under perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem is we have a collection of individuals combined with bang average managers and so players generally under perform. Club policy means we'll never have a proper team and it'll always be a case of individuals playing to get moves to more ambitious clubs. That's what happens when your transfer policy is based on signing young Foreign players with the promise that they'll be shipped on to bigger clubs (at a nice profit to NUFC) should they be a success here. You can never build proper team spirit based on that formula and I genuinely believe that's why we go on these ridiculous losing runs and don't bother turning up for the Derby games these days, put simply there's no motivation and "leaders" are no longer allowed in the dressing room. In Thauvins case, best case scenario for him is he's a hit here and in a couple of years ends up at Arsenal, Man Utd etc, worst case he goes back to one of the bigger clubs in France if it doesn't work out. He's probably not too bothered either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
