Yeah, must be honest I had barely seen anything of him till the world cup, but when I heard he was a French forward player who could play anywhere across the front 3 I pictured someone of a similar height/build of ASM or that Kingsley Coman lad. Was surprised by how big he was. Looks like he would have no issues handling himself in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Wasn’t convinced by Thurman, though only seen World Cup minutes and haven’t done any ‘Wise’ scouting, but might have room for significant improvement and just on his international status anything south of £40m looks like a great gamble.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Is Thuram comfortable in the middle too? That would be a major plus, then a Wilson injury would only mean you had to shuffle one player. Edited December 21, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect we’ll be linked at some point but not sure if he’s the profile of player we’d be targeting Has Villa written all over him. And will subsequently work out about as well as their other high profile signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked a handful for sure, just didn't see any end product in the few flashes we saw, but he didn't get a whole lot of game time, and wasn't really on the end of much. Very hard to base a judgement on that, but if he's got a good record of producing end product, then he will be a hell of a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Most likely bullshit but rumours of a €20m bid for Depay. Don’t see it being true tbh. (Maybe one for the Twitter BS) Edited December 21, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I liked that Randal Kolo Muani for France. Would have bagged the winning goal had it not been for Emi's worldie save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I watched Thuram several times for BMG when we were first linked 2-3 years ago.. I thought he was fast and powerful with good work rate but very limited technically - both ball control and shooting. Having watched him at the WC and youtube - seems to have evolved into a more complete player now but still think he is a more suited to being played as central striker rather than on the wing. Would be a good deal for the low price, probably he'd fit in with the wage structure too. Doubt we'll get him though, there's too many clubs interested.

gbandit Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Why are we hearing all about these Leicester links when they did nothing in the summer? Seems odd that they’d go big in January when this season is already a write off and the best they can hope for is 9th or 10th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Wonder how much they’ll go for, Tielemans walks for nothing in the summer so you have to imagine he’ll go for less than £20m even if there’s some competition to sign him. Maddison is a bit different, they can still get £45m+ in this window if they sell him I think but if it goes to the summer then it’ll drop by a decent amount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard Bayern are after Tielemans, could see them agreeing terms then offering a fee to take him now if they feel they need him sooner. Best time is to sell Maddison now, well actually, it was probably the summer just gone, but their hand is only going to get weaker each window, and probably why they are looking at replacements so they can move fast should acceptable offers come in.

Lots for Howe to work with and a no-brainer at that price. His touch is a little and that even shows up in the BL. Hi knit would it would more of a problem here as there’s less time and space. If he could sort that though, or at least improve it (not sure he can at his age) then he would offer something different for sure. If we’re gonna sign another player that can play CF, they really ought to offer something different from what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Could see Kvaratskhelia being the marquee summer signing. Hard to see Napoli selling in January but he seems perfect for what Howe wants us to do. Absolutely dynamite with the ball at his feet but will also run his bollocks off when we don't have the ball. Could see ASM being moved on to balance the books at least somewhat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
