Weren't people saying all summer we desperately needed a winger though? So saying we didn't need him or somebody else is all good in hindsight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*obviously people will just state that we should have signed somebody else as he's shite despite being happy at the time*

Most people who knew something about french football knew about the history with thauvin. 

 

When people say they want a player, they want a good player not any old player.  Stop trying to be pedantic.

He hasn't got the pace/acceleration/direct running ability to be a productive winger in this league. I think his best position would probably be in a free role behind the main striker but I'd have Ayoze/De Jong/possibly Gini ahead of him; that €17m would have been so much better spent elsewhere.

It's not an excuse as such but it's never easy being a creative player coming in to a team playing like s*** and being expected to turn it on straight away because so much rests on you.

 

It didn't help him today that he came on so late.

I think he just needs to get the basics sorted first. Like using his body to shield the ball when he's under pressure - he could learn a lot from Wijnaldum in this regard. Also not making passes which are too easily cut out by the opposition. He looks shell shocked at the moment.

Yeah this. There's something in his lack of fear to try stuff with the ball that I like but he needs to get basic stuff right first.

 

We could help by giving him game time when we're not up shit creek mind, assuming that comes along again.

Yeah he's trying to create which I can understand, but if you end up hitting defenders legs with every pass or shot then you better contribute defensively to compensate. He's like a poor man's Laurent Robert at the moment. All fart and no shit.

I know it's still early days for this lad but he hasn't really shown anything yet which is worthy of a mention. The £12/13/14 million (whatever it was) could have been much better spend on an area of the team where we're desperate - A (Commanding) Centre half.

 

Not writing the lad off yet though, that would just be stupid.

We could maybe pencil him in for the end of February.  Got nothing before that though.
