I see the rumours about Thauvin will not go away but TBH I'd rather have the young lad form Feynoord, Boetius. I think he is a better team player and will create and score more than Thauvin who allegedly has a dodgy attitude. When you consider Thauvin will cost about £12m and Boetius £2m its a no brainer and the "spare" £10m could be spent elsewhere.

Totally agree that Jean-Paul Boetius would be a much better buy than Thauvin and for a fee of £2m. it's a no brainer. Check Boetius stats as they compare favourably with Thauvin's. We'd be buying another Perez. The guy works his socks off for the team and scores and creates goals to.

let's not forget, he transferred to Lille then immediately to Marseille as he decided he did not like Lille as a city. If he struggles to settle in France then there's a good chance he'd struggle in Toon.

PS. the young lad from Feyenoord would be great, especially at the price being quoted, but I feel we still need to purchase an experienced player or 2, not early 20's but mid 20's with a few hundred games under their belt.
