Yorkie Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If we're signing two centre-midfielders in the form of this guy and Shelvey, I'm happy to see they're identifying the weakest area of the side. But I've read several concerning things that infer we'd be playing this guy out of position right from the off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've read several concerning things that infer we'd be playing this guy out of position right from the off. ive read the opposite mind, and that he's played a lot more centre mid than out wide, english journo who covers french footy on twitter reckons he's a a player, and a centre mid one at that.

LRD Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Does he play central midfield nowadays? Used to be a forward/winger type from what i remember of FM... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 cant wait for some smarmy know it all to suggest we should sign Wahbi Khazri instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He is a winger. In fact, Thauvin is not a winger, his prime position is attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Does he play central midfield nowadays? Used to be a forward/winger type from what i remember of FM... As has been said countless times on here he plays CM and sometimes AM for the past 18 months or whatever it is. Mandoon posted his positional stats yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I don't know much about Saviet but if the reports are true with him and Shelvey, a strong, athletic defensive midfielder and a driving box to box player could be exactly what we need. It sounds too good to be true though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Signs to greetings of cautious optimism > 1 billion arguments about what his position should be > sold. Buckle me in, it's gonna be a hell of a ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturla Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He is a winger. In fact, Thauvin is not a winger, his prime position is attacking midfielder. According to Transfermarkt.com this season he's played: 19 times as CM 2 times as ACM 2 times as RM 2 times as RW 1 times as LW Don't know how reliable this site is, and they only have little potition data from 14/15 for Saivet. Haven't seen him play so I have no idea what he could bring to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 What type of CM is he? I'd assume box to box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 he's quick as well. sounds like What Anita would be if he didn't have the physique of a 5 year old girl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 This is him this season, stats wise at least. http://i.imgur.com/e9GymdM.png Seems his best stuff is in CM. I've no idea if he's any good like, but I reckon he primarily plays as a CM now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knowledge re Saivet, a few years ago, is a pacy winger or forward who loves to beat opponent with pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 There's no way we are signing him and Shelvey for CM. This lad is probably the fall back for Shelvey. Or if we sign both then he will get put out wide because there is zero chance of Colback being dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Whoscored reckons his best attributes are tackling, aerial strength, defensive contribution and holding onto the ball. Sounds like a Tiote replccement if you look solely at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if we sign both then he will get put out wide because there is zero chance of Colback being dropped. Tiote wants away this month apparently so Shelvey will take over from him alongside JC. Saivet will be the backup option when Gouffran departs too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Probably intended to replace Sissoko so we can continue to play a pacy CM at RM if/when we sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Whoscored reckons his best attributes are tackling, aerial strength, defensive contribution and holding onto the ball. Sounds like a Tiote replccement if you look solely at that. Based on the little Dennis Wise scouting I did he didn't look particularly imposing physically. Based on his wiki he's smaller than Colback too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
