ewerk 30216 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Aye that's why I'd always be worried about signing players from teams like that. We're never going to sign their best players and there's always the worry that the others are being made to look much better by the players around them. Plus you have to wonder about their motivation. To go from a team playing in the CL and regularly challenging for the league title to playing for a mid-table team unlikely to win anything where your place in the side isn't going to be strongly challenged must be a huge shift psychologically.

Dr Gloom 21790 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'll go on record as saying we won't sign Thauvin. We've been linked with him for something like three years and the bloke simply isn't interested. I'm not sure we're even interested. I think it's just hacks digging up this undying 'link' and going "need a few sentences about NUFC, let's throw something in about Thauvin" every six months or so. if he did sign he could have a competition with cabella and sammy (if he's still knocking around) to see who has the most dodgy barnet at the club.

grdsfan86 0 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Diego Rolan now linked according to Bordeaux president. Any good? Here in Bordeaux, we consider that he is clearly overrated this summer and it might not be the same next year. This is the perfect time to let him go. I'd rather see him join another club as I'm not confident at all on how a good signing he might be for the club. Btw he missed the training session this afternoon and has only been linked to Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 866 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Gouffran was good when he joined us, he's just been completely and totally Pardewed. He started as a pacy winger who would drive at goal and put pressure on defenders. Chipped in with a few goals too. But Pardew turned him into a worthless central midfielder whose only attribute is to jog around looking like he's carrying an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdsfan86 0 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 How would you rate him compared to Gouffran? Not better. Gouffran was a decent centre forward when he played for Bordeaux but he was already not that good as a side midfielder... Rolan is also a utility player. Last year, he used to be at the right place at the right time as he scored most of his goals in the 6-yard box. But he remains inconsistent and doesn't have a fighting spirit. Plus he had a few issues with his teammates and the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 3 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 WE NEED CENTRE BACKS NOW! Our defense was horse shit last season and we only have bought in one defender. If he gets injured we are super fucked again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ideal end to the window In: Austin Matip/Other CB Thauvin/other winger Plus a young winger and left back Out: Rivière Obertan Gouffran Williamson Ferguson And I wouldn't be gutted to get Colo and Cisse off the wage bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4679 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I would definitely keep Cisse. IF we can play proper football and create chances he will score. Lost his mojo playing under Pardew but a few goals and his confidence back, then he could have a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2948 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Imagine what would happen if a discussion board was filled with people who either agreed, or shrunk away from a disagreement like a wilting weed.

Christmas Tree 4679 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 He's lost a 1-2 yard of pace though I reckon. Possibly, but more to do with losing heart getting shit service. Think of some of those goals he scored when he first came like the one from the edge of the box (possibly against Spurs). He's a natural finisher from poaching and distance and if he also has serious help up front (Mitrovic) that will also leave more space for him. Personally I'd prefer him to Austin.

Not sure what that has to do with preferring Cisse Austin may be good. He may just be a good championship player who has poached a few goals in one season. I prefer Cisse. Deal with it.
