thenige Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Mike Ashley and the club hate people questioning them and that's why they get rid of anybody that speaks out or has anything close to a character or personality, the club is full of yes men if this lad is weak and gets upset when he plays like a sissy and gets stick off the fans then that's ultimately the fault of Ashley Say what now?

sh74 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Seems very mentally fragile just wonder if theres no coming back from this.A large section of fans have made their minds up about him already so could it mean the club admitting defeat and sending him on loan for the rest of the season.

BrettNUFC Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 This will have put Thauvin back even further. McClaren will no doubt in his mind be thinking the fans don't want him on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I would wager the same sort of fans that decide they're going to boo and give shit to Thauvin. Are the same sort of mongs, that rate Colback and love Dummett for 'getting stuck in' and giving away numerous corners, due to last ditch tackles. Geordie lads and all that. Lee Ryder heroes. TBH, there aren't many players thay don't deserve stick. So I find it odd that Thauvin has been singled out, fake injury or not. Footballers are tarts, this is hardly breaking news. Oh and I don't even rate Thauvin. But it's not like he has been much of a factor in our shitness, this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I have plenty of sympathy for him, mostly because we shouldn't have bought him and it should be of no surprise to anyone that he's struggling. I don't think he's suited to the PL especially a team like us. He was bought for all the wrong reasons and it was a transfer that high lighted the absurdity of our transfer policy. It was a transfer which benefitted the transfer makers and they'll be getting more action when we try and move him on. Exactly. Well said sir. Lad is not and never will be (in my opinion) suited to the fast paced and physicality of the PL. I can he see him being very effective in the Eredivise (sp) and also back in France. Nowt to do with his nationality, just his own game and weaknesses. So far he has shown nowt, zip, nadda and I can't see that changing. A complete waste of money, remains to be seen if e make any dosh from it, which would be amazing but I guess not inpossible. Of course that will tick all the right boxes for Penfold et all and we will endure more of the same. Lad isn't a scapegoat, just the archetypal example of why we are in the shit we are. He's the epitome of an Ashley regime signing.....to replace a lad, who replaced a lad, who had shown he could be effective in the PL... Fuck you Pardew ya cunt.

thenige Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It looked like he got a knock on his calf as he went down, however he kept flicking his hand around so I think at first some fans thought he'd hurt his hand and that was a pathetic reason to stay down. By the time it became apparent he'd hurt his leg the fans were too invested in the 'not fit for the shirt' crap to back down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He'll surely be off in the Summer back to France. Think they would try to flog him now but can't as he's already played for Marseille this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh74 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If i remember rightly Hugo Viana got booed onto the pitch at home and it proved to be the final nail in the coffin,he left the club shortly after. Could have the same scenario with Thauvin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 How is this even a discussion? Fans' favourites tend to be fans' favourites because they've done something worthwhile in the shirt, of course they're going to get more slack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Let's make the young French lad who hasn't been given a proper chance (but still shown that he's talented IMO) the scapegoat So f***ing absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Banaloona Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Then what has Thauvin done to earn "slack" from the fans? Absolutely nothing. Can't be asserting that there are hypocrites in our support without giving an example of a fan favourite and a time when they've feigned injury like Thauvin allegedly did yesterday.

Ahh but its different when your fans favourite player does it. So many hypocrites in our support. Name a fans favourite who has done what Thauvin allegedly did? Tbf Perez did something similar (going down and staying down for no reason when the match carried on) at Bournemouth in front of the away fans, and tbf he got pelters off most the fans for it and all- and he'd already scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game!!! Suppose the big difference is we weren't desperate for an equaliser with 3 minutes left at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He's not really being made a scapegoat though is he. The fans are completely pissed off and he's bore the brunt of their frustration by acting like a complete tart. It's not his fault our stupid policy brought him to the club, and he's not to blame for everything thats gone on here, but the away support yesterday decided he isn't fit for purpose, and if we're being honest he probably isn't.
