Skeletor Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 That miss after Perez hit the post sums him up. No predatory instinct at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Did the linesman flag him offside for that? If not it's surely one of the worst misses of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Luuk de Jong, at least he contributed to some build up play. Rivière just looks garbage at everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 It came back at him very quickly tbf, definitely not one of the worst misses of all time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Did the linesman flag him offside for that? If not it's surely one of the worst misses of all time. Yes he did, but should still have scored offside or not. Felt for him as he'd actually had a canny game and did very well to wriggle away along the byline and square for Cabella to fluff it.

Greg Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 It wasn't even a chance man, it was so fast it just hit him, he had no time to react. It either goes in or it doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 He's not even looked like scoring. Was a strange signing, had desperation written all over it - the lad was hardly prolific in Ligue 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Shocked we actually paid money for him. Still not sure what he offers. He does have pace.. And I think power but he looks clueless, with no idea what he should be doing or where he should be playing. In fairness to him he has only ever worked best as a second striker alongside a target man. We have always used him as the target man and he is clearly woefully short of confidence. Looks rubbish either way unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The new manager (prays) will no doubt get shot of him straight away or get him to do something useful like make the tea. Sold a pup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 In his defense, we have had players that have looked like utter calamities for up to a full season and turned out to be alright. That said, we have had many more players that have looked like utter calamities and actually were utter calamities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie1892 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Email conversation between myself and a French journalist friend of mine who works for France Football and others. Tells me that NUFC paid Monaco €2.5m (£1.95m) for the dubious services of Riviere. That's still ten times what he looks to be worth, but the £6.5m figure the club released is yet another lie. The Cabella fee quoted by the club was also more than double what we actually paid for him. So our net spend in the summer wasn't just zero, it was significantly less than zero. Quelle Surprise.

Are the figures quoted total fees including all potential add ons Not sure about the Cabella figure (though where you'd work £7m of add-ons into that deal is a mystery) but the Riviere figure is a one-off payment, thanks for doing business, cheerio. Monaco must be pissing themselves at getting even £2m for him. There's better strikers at Hibs and Hearts (both 2nd tier teams, of course) that cost nowt.

Wallace Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have heard before that the club said that the Cabella fee was a lot less than reported in the press but then you probably also have Montpelier wanting their fans to think they got a bigger fee for him that they did.
