taxfree Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Mohammed Ali The offer from #NUFC for Thauvin is €17m + €2.5m-3m in bonuses - Cabella wants to know more about #OM direction esp. manager Reckon that is close to the truth. A lot of money. That source is the greatest. Being mentioned a lot of places. Fabien Lévêque @FabLeveque 16h16 hours ago View translation Joli tour de magie de Vincent Labrune.

NUFC_Chris Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Still not 100% convinced this one is really happening. We've had Cabella sold to Marseille by the French press more than once this summer and I just can't see how Thauvin is worth that amount of money. Sceptical.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 so it's about 13.5m for thauvin including bonuses if that is correct, not to bad really when you consider we'll likely get say 6m back for cabella in the end and have a player the manager wants for a change i'd still keep cabella personally like, reckon de jong is never likely to make it for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Why do people care if Thauvin is worth that sort of money or not? Paying what has to be paid for once, in some degree. (this season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I couldn't care less if we pay over the odds by a couple of million. We're getting tens of millions a year more from TV etc that it's not really an issue. If it's true that there's some potential deep down in this nutter that he could be a star, then get him in and let's enjoy him for the time before it goes tits up or he gets flogged.

Lush Vlad Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Seen him compared to Ben Arfa? Didn't look the same to me from my comprehensive 15 minute scouting mission Left footed and a no.10 type that likes to roam about, so they are the same in that sense. But he didn't look that exciting on the ball. Didn't have that many tricks or glide past his man in the way HBA does. Actually looked quite rangey, with a long stride and looked taller than 5ft 10". Bit 'meh' about the whole thing at the minute. Doesn't sound like he even wants to sign for us. I like Cabella and would like to see how he fares in a team that isn't managed by a bunch of loons. I also think another defender is required before we look anywhere else. I just worry we'll get this lad and that'll be it for transfers. Still, we're actually spending money and if it works out and he signs. He's exactly the sort of player that makes me want to start going to watch us again.

LRD Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Would pay £12m + £4.1m in add-ons to get him, if only to erase Owen from the record books if he turns out good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I compared him to Ben Arfa in the sense that he's left footed, excellent dribbler, likes to cut in and not really a traditional winger. Not because he's anywhere near as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Is he so proficient in defence as to be considered as an auxiliary fullback when the opposition have the ball? In a more serious consideration, does he have a better mentality than Ben Arfa? Like, will he take to team orders, listen to criticism and not explode if he is told to be at fault from time to time?
