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. We paid more for him than West Ham did for Payet, from the same club? Nobody can do that with a straight face. i'm all for being cynical about this set of cunts but it smells more of them gambling on potential to me, thinking they're getting the new hazard for 12m and can sell in 2 years for 30m Hell of a gamble paying £12m when he'd just been voted one of the worst players in Ligue 1 last season.

Chris Banaloona Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If we are going to stay up this season (and that is all that matters) his character isn't going to help us do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Cracking bit of business by pards shifting HBA out. Spent over 25m trying to replace him would love to see if his press fanboys pick up on it....bet they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Journo's in France thought Cabella was a real coup for us. There was that cartoon making fun of the PL when we signed Thauvin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Think Thauvin might have just been bad scouting, but obviously they're liable to shady deals. Just look at Ferreyra last season, add blatant a bullshit deal add you'll ever see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Wingers in the PL have to have pace. Considering that there is plenty of examples to the contrary I disagree completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.
