The Fish 8989 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Those stats show a clear reason why we would be happy to sell him. He's not available enough to score enough goals and he's playing less and less each season. The fact that we don't have anyone else who can score means that despite that, we can't really afford to let him go. Unless we sign a proven player I think we'd be mad to take the risk that we'll have no one to score goals next season. But it's more likely that we will take a risk like that than it is that we'll sign Charlie Austin. Isn't Thauvin more a wide player by the way? Agree with this. To be honest, in a perfect world we should have already signed Austin & Dost thereby reducing the impact Cisse's departure may have. I don't think many would mind his exit if it had been preceded by Austin + A.N.Other's arrival. I think Cisse's star is waning and given we're not renewing his contract it seems folly to allow him to see it out when (if the rumours have any substance) we can get c£10m for him. That said, if those rumours do have substance, it beggars belief that we're trying to lowball other clubs when the market is so clearly skewed.

That said, if those rumours do have substance, it beggars belief that we're trying to lowball other clubs when the market is so clearly skewed. Aye, that we could think that we could get £10m for a player who has been injured for most of the last two seasons and had a couple of season where he struggled to score and then pay the same for someone who's just come in a scored 17 goals for a team who got relegated beggars belief. If we had as proven a player as Austin and another who looks a decent bet to score, along with SDJ, Perez and even Riviere you'd be pretty content to sell Cisse at this stage of his career. But there's absolutley zero faith in the club to follow through with their own promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34464 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We shouldn't sell him until we've secured our preferred replacement(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Those stats are misleading. Thauvin is an AM/Wing in the Hatem mould so I didn't expect his goalscoring stats to be great...More a creator than a finisher, same for Berahino who is a bit more of a striker but also does a lot of work outside the box in the first attack phase. These are both good players and would be happy with either...I was a big fan of Ber and wanted him last year when he was cheaper...Might be out of our price range now. Austin is a fat lump of nothing and he might have got some goals but will be found out soon. Cisse is pretty much finished and we should get as much as poss as soon as poss.

David Kelly 1117 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 i could've sworn Thauvin got listed in this years biggest letdown/flops team for ligue1 as well http://www.beinsports.tv/news/title/marseilles-florian-thauvin-failing-to-deliver-on-his-immense-potential-under-marcelo-bielsa/article/1v4jw4o6wvab91d5nhco9cobje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read before that we'd be happy to pay the £15m, but for Berahino rather than Austin. Of course West Brom want £30m like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What would normally happen is that we'd tell his agent that we'd double his wages (he'd start playing up)....Those days are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Reckon if we didn't ask Cisse to come 60 yards deep and hoof aimless crosses at him, he'd probably score plenty of goals. He's certainly not a shit finisher, hardly his our fault the teams he's played in have been ridiculously negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
