lovejoy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 if it's true then we're getting townsend, no doubt in my mind about it, and it's a s**** f***ing deal all round 'cause townsend is woeful he's got pace, which is a start. but he feels very 'obertany' doesnt he?

It's not like Thauvin is Alan Smith or something, he's got experience and talent and he's never been given even half a run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 What a joke. Been some amazing work done there in getting rid of Ben Arfa for nothing, pay a huge fee for Cabella, getting rid of Cabella at a huge loss (at a time when he was beginning to show a bit of promise), buying Thauvin for a huge amount and then looking to get rid of him after half a season. Genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Pace alone pushes the back four deep and allows our mf to move up. Even if Townsend just stands there its an advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why the f*** did they sign this guy then never play him? Seems fishy as f*** to me. It really does. 8 years ago we were signing players as favours to agents. I doubt that type of thing has stopped. That's exactly what I was getting at, aye. Player gets a nice holiday, him and his agent and the selling club getting paid a ton. Might get a few favours later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 He looks slow for a winger. He's not fast at all. Nowhere near as fast as Obertan, but not as bad, either. He just seems unsuited and he hasn't had much of a chance for whatever reason. When we signed him, there were constant reports about him turning us down a few times previously. I'm sure there were a few articles saying the owner decided the offer was too good to turn down and was basically told he was leaving. I may be wrong, mind. French fans laughed at us and said he was crap. A lot of their reporters said he had been poor and would be ill suited to the league. Seems as if a lot of what was said, was actually true.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Loans are a big problem as well IMO. If you don't want a player you should have to sell them, especially if they're over 21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 you can get away with not being fast as a winger if you've the quality on the ball and can pick out a quality pass/cross with regularity i've thought since i first saw him that once he settled he'd fall into that category with the proviso that the team as a whole would need to be functioning so he wasn't expected to beat 3 players every time like cabella was as it turns out the only chances he's really had have been when the team was turboshit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Every French journalist going said this transfer was a disaster waiting to happen. Something not right about the whole thing like.

Something not right about the whole thing like. We paid more for him than West Ham did for Payet, from the same club? Nobody can do that with a straight face. Bang on. This is why i'm not surprised he's not getting a game. Everything out of France was that he wasn't very good and we had been fleeced. That Cabella was considered the far better prospect and he struggled. McClaren doesn't rate him and in his few appearances I don't really see a good player in there. Best thing I can say is he gave a tired Hutton a hard time with some good deliveries. But with what was coming out of France I was never confident about him.
