Inu Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think this buy was a kind of luxurious. I dont think the club thought they were going to be in this much trouble and bought him so we can have a creative spark to the team. But he dont fit in a relegation battle team which are at the moment. So best get rid and get in someone that can help out of the relegation zone. Think thats what SM thinking, and i dont think he want to be here himself so that will probaly play in as a "away factor" on why we are trying to ship him off. If it was up to me I would have kept him. Hes going to be useful next season when we hopefully fighting for a 8th or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't know what to make of this if true. I thought we pulled the trigger too fast on Cabella and seems like they are doing the same with Thauvin, both are undoubtedly talented both however are either not suited to the PL, not being coached and used right or just not being given enough time to adapt. The happy clappers that cheer Colback's every move are probably the same that are quick to jump on players like Thavin's back, pisses me off really.

jdckelly Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 hard to know what to make of this (if its true). If it does happen then its fairly obvious McClaren probably never wanted him in the first place so why in gods name was he bought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Crazy if this is the end of him already, young player that has potential. I've seen players from abroad look a lot worse than him and then come good in the past, he needs games. I know we're not really in the position to give players loads of time to adjust, but we have had chances to give him a lot more game time so far and Perez just doesn't look himself atm, so why not rest him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sounds like he wants out and has instigated the move if the reports are true. All the time we wasted pursuing him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just looked back through this thread to when we were linked with him and then signed him and most people seemed to agree he wouldn't be a very good signing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Only 'sense' in him leaving already is if, for want of a better phrase, his arse has gone. There has been enough in small glimpses to suggest that with a consistent run, increased familiarity and confidence, he could be a sound addition to the team. I would be surprised if McClaren thought otherwise, but if he is not up for it, and it doesn't look changebale... then sure, get rid. It would be a f***ing shocker though.

BrettNUFC Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Would be good (though unlikely) if McClaren came out and rubbished the rumour and said they have faith in him etc. Would be a good confidence booster for him and maybe get a few off his back That's far too sensible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Carr deserves sacking for this transfer alone. Everyone who watches Ligue 1 were pissing themselves in the summer when they saw we were spending £13m on this lad. Marseille fans in particular couldn't believe their luck. Don't think he ever really wanted to be here either. Just a deal that looked destined to fail from the off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Aside from the Warford game some of his cameos have been really quite promising so I'm struggling to get my head around the logic in this. Lamela was another who really struggled in his first year and look how important he is now for Spurs. I don't think it's too unreasonable to compare the two either.

M4 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 We've taken the exact same approach with this guy than with Cabella 12 prior. We might as well have kept the first one. Nice little futile exercise that has cost the club 12 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If it's been instigated by the player then it's best for all parties that he moves on. He won't be much good to us in a relegation battle if he wants to run home at the first sign of trouble because a few hundred fans gave him a bit of stick for diving and pretending to be hurt. If it's the club wanting to move him on then Carrs head needs to be on the chopping block because it's been a disastrous signing, of Luque and Boomsong proportions. Just find the whole situation bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Boumsong tried. Luque had a massive injury. Thauvin is up there with Mickey O. Owen had a few massive injuries but still managed 26 goals which worked out at better than a goal every 3 games. I can only remember Luque getting the 4th against the mackems. Boumsong was just a dodgy transfer altogether and was Souness doing Rangers (and himself) a big favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Even from a squad strength position it seems ridiculous. He's our only actual senior wide player. I've seen Aarons's name creep up a lot lately but in the Northampton game where Thauvin was man of the match Aarons was marked out of the game then subbed off after having a nightmare. If Thauvin isn't ready for the league then he's got no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mohammed Ali @mohammedali_93 52s53 seconds ago @KHeneage @NUFCThreatLevel reported by @laprovence yes. No purchase option So we are loaning him back and we won't even be able to sell him to them. What a waste of time Surprised he can hold his phone/type on a keyboard, tbh.
