triggs Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Interesting that after the West Ham game where he played on the left and played poorly a lot of people were saying he can only play on the right. If that is the case he was never going to be able to show his best here given Sissoko wasn't going to be moved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If it happens, a real fucking waste of money for sure - everyone who has mentioned we spent 25M to replace HBA is spot on; HELL we could have spent 25M on a winger the first time and brought the right guy in ffs. If he indeed goes, we absolutely need to sign a couple of fucking wingers in this / next window with real pace and energy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Been a disaster. Culminating in the Watford game, sad s***. End of the day we had an extremely good player who we binned off and they are now seeing that you can't buy that sort of talent easily. Correct, 100%. I'd honestly sign Redmond over Townsend man, ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 He was in the team of the season before he was in the "worst team". He's always been rated there. Exactly, only reason for being in the worst team is because relative to his potential he did not perform well last season, but I can bet a lot on that he wasn't one of the worst players in Ligue 1 last season. I think Thauvin should get good run of games on the left before he is judged. One off matches and 5 minutes here and there is never going to help him settle.

r0cafella Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 What I don't get is they bang on about "attitude" when scouting players. Shelvey, Berahinio, and Townsend have all had fall outs this season. Just opportunism, trying to pick up bargains that are on the outs with their own clubs. Of course we have however expanded our transfer model to include British players though so we should all be grateful. I miss the model which used to just get the best players you fucking can.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Even if Townsend comes in, we should keep him here. He's looked brighter in his cameos and we need the depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon 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. We paid more for him than West Ham did for Payet, from the same club? Nobody can do that with a straight face. It is weird like. You would think Ashley would have sacked Carr by now for recommending two flop wingers that have cost a bomb. Someone along the chain must be siphoning off a wad of the agent fees.

TRC Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'd be happy with selling him and getting Townsend in, providing Townsend is used as an impact player. Thauvin isn't good enough. I don't care about giving him time, as harsh as it is we need players that can hit the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look at the players in the part of the field Thauvin would play in, Sissoko and Wijnaldum are in decent form and our two best players so they won't be dropped, Perez is in poor form but is probably our third best player usually so don't see where we're going to give him an extended run in the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It would be a terrible idea to loan him to Marseille. Another club why not it's better than letting him on the bench, but Marseille hell no! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Nowrich he's been pretty bad out there. It's not even like Thauvin has been getting 30-35 minutes in games either, it's 10 minutes at the end here and there and then abused to the point where he's faking an injury.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The worst transfer in living memory like. Spent over £25m trying to replace a player who is on another level altogether and the club chose to get rid of. Fucking dicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
