The College Dropout Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Spent yesterday in the company of a Frenchmen. He said Martial has a very high ceiling.. top, top natural talent. In that top bracket. But said obviously it's a crazy deal. Said it's better than paying anywhere near that for a Lacazette for example. Spoke at length about Hatem, Cabaye, Thauvin & Cabella too. What did he think of Thauvin? Bit of a nutter, bad influence sometimes. Doesn't have the excuse of coming from the 'hood like HBA for it either. Not as natural talented as HBA. Good player on the whole. Fleeced on the transfer. Cabella's reputation in France is so high that we should have got a straight swap or even them paying us money + Thauvin. Said he's more similar in style to HBA and is a hard worker. Slight build. But English clubs have been getting fleeced all summer so it's okay. Should do better than Cabella but not seeing HBA in a million Sundays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Don't forget lads Just heard from my mate who's an agent. Also he says that there is loads of deals that fall through because the buying club does't agree a deal with the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that top bracket. But said obviously it's a crazy deal. Said it's better than paying anywhere near that for a Lacazette for example. Spoke at length about Hatem, Cabaye, Thauvin & Cabella too. And? Hatem has crazy talent (obviously) but is an idiot. Said he speaks French like a foreigner (but that's not unusual for footballers). He has the talent of a Benzema and should at least have had teh career of Nasri. Said he's started off on fire for Nice and there's talk he should be in the NT but it's a extreme long shot due to the coach. Said he had too much natural talent to be at NUFC or any of his following clubs anyway and you can't compare him to Cabella or Thauvin. Talent wise, they're not in his bracket. Said Thauvin is similar but not nearly as naturally talented. Has similar behavioural difficulties. A hard worker which English fans like but similar profile to Cabella. Thinks Cabella's problems were more mental here than physical. Said personality wise Cabella is a top lad. Easy to work with. Not as nearly talented as Hatem. Suits Ligue 1 better. Cabaye - didn't fit the PSG system. Was always shooting from ridiculous angles instead of juts passing. Nowhere near catching Matuidi, Verratti & Motta. I said in England that's the Stevie G AM type of player we love and CP/NUFC he was the best player - the manager loves him - and he can do whatever he likes. He said that might be why it didn't work out fro Cabella, he has the whole team to on his page and he would be on fire. I read that as "bit of magic" isn't Cabella's game like it is Cabaye or HBA where they can change a game out of the blue. Finally, said Cabella's last season at Montpellier was phenomenal and better than anything Thauvin had produced. Also spoke at length about my polar opposite feelings of the Ayew brothers. Apparently Payet is a top player too. So he summed up what everybody already knew. Sounds like he wasted your day. The only thing remarkable there is that you put "apparently Payet is a top player". If you didn't already know that from his stints at St Etienne, Lille and OM, then you clearly don't watch much football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many people on this board have either. My first time seeing Thauvin play ever was against Man Utd. We went to Notting Hill carnival and had a blast btw.

World transfer record was 32m at the time. 36m for Martial now. World transfer record now is 86m. It's just how football is these days kids. He can provide a different option and backup for Rooney now, and if he turns into one of the best players in the world in a couple of years it'll be a good deal.
