Optimistic Nut Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm not sure we need him? Too similar to Cabella? Who else do we have similar to Cabella? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Looks a talent but sounds a massive twat. I thought we were all about signing the right characters this summer? Still, McClaren doesn't have a history of being a massive twat so maybe he might be able to put an arm around the lad and sort him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Personally i think it's just Marseille trying to get clubs interested. No bid, we're delaying the wait before we monitor some more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 He's very talented but he really looks and is sort of a cunt. Almost as the club is getting desperate now if true (talking about character) Every manager we have had down the years has talked about signing players with the right character but if they are good then they cost top dollar. Then if you are lucky and the top clubs haven't already signed them, you might have a look in assuming you are serious about character. We tend to put more of a premium on profit which means buying at a low price. I doubt that's about to change with the arrival of McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Graeme Bailey from goal.com says we will sign either Thauvin or Matip this week and possible both. Also we still want Austin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 We were a far better side when we allowed for talents with questionable character. We certainly had a few during Robson's time. Management is often about managing players like these. It's something autocratic types like Souness and Pardew just can't deal with. I don't know too much about McClaren's general man management, but didn't he have a few enigmas in his Boro side when they were doing well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Apropos of nothing, I have greater faith in McClaren's ability to handle divas than Carvdew's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 How does Florian compare to Cabella in terms of style of play and such? Thauvin seems far more Ben-Arfa-like than Cabella ever did or would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Matip is pretty popular amongst Schalke fans and has already stated he wants to stay at the club. I have a feeling we're being used as an angle in his contract dispute. He's come on loads in the last year mind and is equally adept at playing in defence or midfield.

Kanji Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'd say he's more of that ilk, he's faster over short distance I reckon and more powerful. Does make some bad decisions tho, so there is that. He's fun to watch like Cheers, we need more direct widemen for sure. We don't have any but Aarons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we started the summer with these three we'd be on our way to something approaching decent. We'll sign exactly none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we started the summer with these three we'd be on our way to something approaching decent. We'll sign exactly none. They would be three excellent signings. However we would probably sell the rest of the squad afterwards. If Williamson is still at the club by the time the transfer window closes then it will be a big blow.

Wisdom Body Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well, the cheap, fallback option is actually a better player than the first two options. I'm not actually sure we'd be able to sign him; I wouldn't give that much credence to the "modest fee" put there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Would absolutely hate it IF Sunderland got Wijnaldum. He's the player we've been linked with that i want the most! (Only chance they have is because of a Dick) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not actually sure we'd be able to sign him; I wouldn't give that much credence to the "modest fee" put there. If that's true then fair enough, I don't know too much about him (but 15 goals isn't bad). I just saw the cost and where he plays and figured it was the 'Rivière' option. Personally I'd like some more South American players in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
