10 Things We Learned During Newcastle’s Summer Transfer Window
3. Florian Thauvin Is A Better Player Than Remy Cabella
It's very early to judge Florian Thauvin but on early viewings the player looks more suited to Newcastle's first team than Remy Cabella ever did. He's also not a like-for-like swap for the French midfielder and offers a more robust attacking midfielder who isn't just stuck out on the wing but who can cut inside and also act as a forward if necessary. 26,923 people who attended the Northampton game will get to say they witnessed the 22-year-olds first home game live and will have witnessed a show-stopping performance where he scored and grabbed three assists.
