Didnt look too good IMO......is he still what we want?
 
Wasn't the most impressive performance alright. He was brilliant in the centre for a long time when he played at Parma. Juve have been playing him in a full back position all season and of course he has always performed well there for France. There are shades of Micky about him really.........I want to play in the centre etc. But I reckon he's a great centre half and just suffered the other day from being moved in beside Desailly mid-game. If France progress we should see the best of Thuram in the middle.
 
:confused:

I think I must have been watching a different game. He was one of their best players, IMO.

Oh Yeah? :rolleyes:
Then how come your litle mind suddenly agrees with the fact that Thuram is a crap defende eh? <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />
 
I saw enough to know that he isnt what we want. Thats a one man brick wall like Stam. Thats the only way we'll get really solid because we have no viable, solid partnership.

Cast your minds back (watch videos) and you'll see how great Stam was. Truly the best CB in the world at the time. Thuram doesnt touch him.

Thuram wont lead (language probs), he isnt a brick wall. He shouldnt be the man for us. If we get him, we're resigned to another season of weak defence and dependance on attack. Oh well.

Which opinion should I believe?

Your statement that he is still at his peak or the one three days later stating that he was a waste of money?

Or does it depend how well he plays in the next game?
 
Anyone with a brain even a person like me who loves Thuram could see both against Sengal and Uraguay he was exposed for pace. Think about it. Would you like Blanc to have an equaly slow defender alnogside him? :confused:

Neither would I . So I stick to the view that Thuram is past it and it will only change when Hell freezes over! ;)
 
Kemo Dictionary definition

Hell Freezes Over = A period longer than the attention span of a goldfish ;)

I never said I wanted him or otherwise. Just amazed at your swift change of view. After all it has taken many people a whole season to change their minds about Veron

Which by your standarts should be any day now.
 
Wibble,Duuh!! My views on Veron have not changed for a whole season. He is still our best player in terms o talent and he will prove it next season.


Amir DUUUH!

Who here is considerd fanctical in his views. You or ME? And since when did fanatics have short idea life spans hmmm? :D
 
Fanatic?

What on earth are you on about?

And I was talking about your flip flopping opinion of Thuram. I though that that was clear. Apparently not
 
My point exactly. Fantics like me don't flip flop outta the blue. There is always a godd reason behind it ;) <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
