Ikon Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Marseille pretty much fell apart when he got injured, before that they were kind of challenging for the title. I'm not sure if it was the exact timing of events but i read something about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 5'10 though Does anyone know if he's capable of leading the defence? What's the point in buying yet another short centre back? Does Carr not realise we are playing in the premier and not Serie A? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I personally think Taylor is a decent CB when he manages to get a decent run of games together, which is incredibly rare, however even if he could stay fit I wouldn't want him as first choice.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He's a lot like MYM in the sense that he's quick across the ground and comfortable on the ball but he's a lot more physical. If we buy him we need to hope Lascelles develops quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think I'd prefer Matip vs N'kolou tbh, atleast until we're trying to replace Colo. If we go with 2 we could get both and they would be good playing together... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Then we'd still need a winger Besides that, i think Cabella wants to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckard 13 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Would absolutely not sell Cabella for Thauvin. Madness. I'd really like a quality PL established CB who we won't have to worry about bedding in which would allow us to take a chance on someone like MYM again but for the life of me I can't think of anyone remotely sensible that we could get. Unless Jan Vertonghen fancies slumming it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He's a lot like MYM in the sense that he's quick across the ground and comfortable on the ball but he's a lot more physical. If we buy him we need to hope Lascelles develops quickly It's almost as though Carr is mad we lost MYM, and has gone right in for a similar style of defender now Pardew is gone!

TheHoob Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Thauvin is supposed to be a reet c*** isn't he? Flouncing from training to get a move from Lille to Marseille after he'd been there less than a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Would absolutely not sell Cabella for Thauvin. Madness. before winegum i'd have agreed but we've got AM's falling over themselves if we swapped cabella for a player who is comfortable and actually good in wide positions then i could like with it i reckon, as long as there was a tactical reason behind it because we've no wide players and millions who can play centrally (cabella might make it wide in a better team with more movement but i'm not convinced) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
