ToonMarshy 2 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Are they genuinely trying to make the cabella purchase look not so ridiculous by one upping the stupidity involving thauvin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Jesus wept. Let's loan out an attacking option when we're in a relegation battle. great idea. mcclaren clearly doesn't fancy him, which is a shame because he's looked alright in patches. worth holding on to him ahead of the likes of obertan and gouffran, surely?

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 No tears will shed in CT Towers. Simply not cut out for this league. Bring Back Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah, Shane has set the world on fire since he left. It's all good anyway CT, Marveux will step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10849 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Apparently, he's asked for the move himself. Unsurprising given the shit he got at Watford. Don't think he's cut out for the Premier League, less so that Cabella who he replaced. But there is quality and value to be found in the French league.

The Fish 10849 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I was just about to say that's what it could be. So much for studying targets' attitudes. Always a gamble though, isn't it? Cabaye looked to have the right mentality up until the point he went on strike. Ben Arfa looked like a right little shit bag, but immediately bought into the club? And that we keep playing a center midfielder or a striker on the wing rather than giving him the chance to bed into the league. Agree with this, and it's why I'm worried that if we do sign a striker, we'll drop Mitrovic and his acclimatisation will suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35060 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mitrovic can play after the new striker gets injured during his home debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 At the end of the day we are facing the drop. If we can get a striker who can hit a barn door then whoop de woo. Still think Mitrovic will come good when the set up of the team is more balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10849 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Anyone who gets upset when Ben Arfa is brought up shouldn't go on twitter any time soon.

Well the point of studying their mentality is to minimise the risk but that's two young, talented French wingers we've bought in consecutive summers for big fees who appear to lack the mental strength to succeed here.

To be honest I'd give Cabella a bigger break than Thauvin. I was never convinced by Florian, but Remy looked like a bit more time in the league could have seen him settle. Either way, I agree that we signed the wrong characters, but I reckon we'd have seen better from them both had we played them alongside a Shelvey-type of player from the start. The type of football we've been forced to play isn't really conducive to getting the most out of the kind of personality they seem to have.

ewerk 30549 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ben Arfa had a certain confidence/arrogance that made him difficult to manage at times but certainly helped him when he was on the ball. If we could get someone with anywhere near that talent and confidence without the problems we'd be onto a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get someone with anywhere near that talent and confidence without the problems we'd be onto a winner. You look at the team that Stoke have assembled, Bojan, Shaqiri, Arnautović, Afellay. That's a lot of mavericks, but it's working. Mercurial talents lighting up the league, at Stoke?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We waste so much money trying to get good deals rather than buying players who are actually good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
