    Did Thauvin not complain of being homesick after a couple of weeks of joining.

    not sayingh he hasnt improved just not as much as he would under a decent coaching set up
    i would say he has gone stagnenet under rafa

    he is being asked to do to much ,has to much pressure on him
    he is dealing with it well but we need an old head with him
    me and a few others have said this any times

    a couple of seasons ago i had him down a sa future england centre half
    not any more
    a decent one but not a great one

    Yes - he's stagnated.

    I even agree with you an older head next to him would be good but to say he's stagnated, sakes

    yes but we only have fizzy players if you listen to some of the widescreen brigade on here

    yet now they say he is mustard

    or is he a flop

    he was brought as a premier centre half

    i still think he was good enough prospect to get an england call up before now

    now he might get a squad place if there a re a few injuries

    so yes stagnated

    he was bought as a POTENTIAL premier league centre half. he was a championship player, and a young one at that, when bought and hadn't played in the premier league at all. so if he has stagnated then he is still a championship player... hmmmm
