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.

Anyone who gets upset when Ben Arfa is brought up shouldn't go on twitter any time soon. Quite a few people pointing out that we've wasted North of £25m trying to replace him.
-
Did you post this, just to post something? There seems to be three random thoughts, one of which seems self-contradictory?
-
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? 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.
-
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.

My biggest concern is that we raise our game against the big clubs & still can't pick up 3pts. If Shelvey, Saivet (plus anyone else we bring in) can translate average performances against average teams into wins, and good performances against the top clubs into points, well, we'll shoot up the table, leaving the others around us in our wake as we surge into the heady heights of 15th!
-
I'm hoping Shelvey will dramatically improve the quality of chances that fall to our strikers, and that he allows us to build attacks, instead of operating solely as a counter attack side.

As Trooper says, we need to get a string of results.

Could do with a draw to be honest

Shit, has the window closed already?
-
Think if Perez gets a rest he'd be a useful option on the left. Also, Thauvin and Aarons should benefit from an improved centre. We'd be better off improving the defensive side of our left flank, rather than the attacking

Holy Shit Lads! it's a Banter!

Same as Dummett. Seems a nice lad, but isn't up to the standard we need.
-
Had a similar issue with Marcelo Meli, had to send him out on loan to Inter Milan, where he's been picking up cards of a variety of colours.

Just did the double over mackems and was curious as to how their season had gone as when we met 1st time they were around mid-table. Oof

The implication being that he is a pre-teen who wanks, or that he wanks a pre-teen?

It does usually act as a vessel for hot drinks and it doesn't connect to the internet, and that's why I'm going to try and sort my home insurance with this ceramic mug.
-
So you'd play him out of his preferred position and ask him to do a job that he traditionally doesn't do? Awesome.
-
Yeah he's predominantly featured on the right flank, where he Duff's his way through 90 minutes.

Are you saying Anita is liquid football & Colback is solid?
-
Interesting comparison between Vurn & Jack is while Anita has a greater number of forward passes, Wearside Jack has created more chances. Does that mean Vurn's forward passes are safe ones, 5yrds forward from the centre circle, or maybe Colback's set pieces count as creating a chance?
