Players from Germany seem to hit the ground much better here than those from France, which might stand him in better stance re the N'Curse

Really? Who are they? I can only think of three players coming over from Germany lately; Werner, Sancho and Havertz. All 3 were star players in Germany, and they hardly hit the ground running! Only Havertz has been able to slowly make his mark.

I hear there is stiff competition for his signature.

It will be a hard one to pull off.

We have to sign him now. There can be no possible other choice.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Do they…
Can’t think of many that have in recent times. Not big money ones anyway

Guess I was thinking of the Berbatov and Son track record we have. I suppose there have been quite a lot of more recent big flops now I think of it.

 

[Gutter Boy]

He's french anyway. Just plays in germany.

Sorry, that's what I meant. The pace and physicality of the German league is much closer to the EPL, whereas France is a bit pedestrian. So players who excel in France are less guaranteed to be able to translate it.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Keita too

Pulisic and Haller big flops too.

Further back De Bruyne and Sane could go in the hits pile.

 

[Gazza]

Huge N’dingdonga flop?

Son was a flop
Luckily he turned it round to show his true talent

He just started slow. 6 months in he was fine. Wasn't terrible before, just not outstanding.

He wanted to leave after a year
He wasn’t happy here
Now he is a mega success but he was not a success in his first year

 

[Gutter Boy]

Son was injured - he had plantar fasciitis throughout most if his first year with us.

And he still wants a success in his first year
The guys class
And other players have been class when they haven’t been given up on too
But he wants a success in his first year
He even says it himself

There is a difference between not a success and a flop. As i said he wasn't great but he wasn't awful.

He was a flop. He didn’t get starts and actually at the time was our 2nd most expensive signing I think…
He then changed and became world class over the next seasons
For context Lukaku is deemed a flop for his return to Chelsea.. he has been (in this season) more successful than Son was in his first

He's no Lewis Holtby

 

[billyiddo]

Son was not a flop in his first season ffs

 

[Bedfordspurs]

He's no Lewis Holtby

I thought he would really suit us
Alas … no

 

[SpurMeUp]

Son certainly wasn't the player he is now. Many many on here didn't rate him and he wasn't always first choice starting games. Even when he started to show world-class ability, there were still a fair number of supporters who were yet to be convinced.

Calling him a flop is crazy talk. Slow start yes, disappointing even yes (although not for me as I felt he was playing well anyway at the time).

Lukaku is a flop because he was bought for 100m and is a high profile player. Son was an under the radar signing, no one but those that had paid attention to him expected much.
