Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 On Thauvin, the only thing that keeps me hopeful is that he wouldn't be the first ( or the tenth tbh ) footballer to go back on his word. We shouldn't keep pursuing him for too long though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't normally like the idea of signing players to help develop them for other clubs, but Zouma on loan would be fantastic. And knowing Chelsea, we can just keep loaning him until they forget about him. Could have him for years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Zouma's a John Terry knee ligament away from being a Chelsea regular. Don't you just feel like that guy will be there forever. Wouldn't want to be stuck waiting behind him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Aye but they weren't developing bairns for another team. What about when Atletico did it and won the league? EDIT: Not that I don't agree with you, but there are exceptions when it can suit both parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If it strengthens the NUFC team in the short-term then I'm for it. I'd rather not be in a the position of having to loan players because we're too tight to actually buy them but loaning, say, Zouma for a season would benefit everyone imo.

Unbelievable Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Unbelievable! due to write him off as hopeless in 3, 2, 1 ... Not at all. Love JP Boetius me Woo hoo! Oh man, well we have to sign him now! What's his game like? Well, he's certainly not a traditional winger, more of a wide midfield player who likes to dribble, cuts inside often and has an eye for goal. As has been said, he is a little lightweight but that makes him nimble, and he'a a bit raw, as in probably not quite ready for PL level. He is one in a long line of talented flair players at Feyenoord who somehow make a big impression bursting on the scene but then subsequently fail to press on the next season and end up moving for less than they're (potentially) worth; Wijnaldum being an other example. I don't think EUR 2m will get him, but closer to 3-4m probably would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this on his season stats, 2013/14 he got 11 goals and 10 assists, but last season only 4 goals and 5 assists or something. Was there any reason why, injuries or something?

Might be worth signing permanently? No idea like. Would rather a permanent signing to be honest. We really struggle with signing top centrbacks. I would have this new lad and Zouma and see how it goes. I do think we need to have at least 1 regular CB with PL experience. Zouma's is limited but it's something. Otherwise i'm certain the second new CB will warm the bench for much of the season while Colo or Saylor start ahead of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Would take Zouma without hesitation, even on loan for a season. If the market isn't there for a decent CB to buy, would be a no-brainer to get someone in as good as him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
