BlueSuedeSambas 54,488 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Everybody talks about how important he is to the team in terms of sitting back and breaking things up, but I think there is so much more to his game than that. He's already got at least three assists this season (half as many as McCulloch who was our third best assister last season with six) and he has chipped in with two goals (double his return of last year already) too. Obviously playing with a player who possess the vision of Mendes and another who offers the mobility of Miller has played a part, but I think Thomson is developing into quite a complete player.

Obviously playing with a player who possess the vision of Mendes and another who offers the mobility of Miller has played a part, but I think Thomson is developing into quite a complete player. Since the Celtic game Thommo and Mendes have been near telepathic in the way they have played. Thommo wins the ball, lays off to Mendes. Thommo picks up a loose ball first thing he does is look for Mendes. Breaking that up would be a huge mistake. They actually look like they enjoy playing together aswell.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'm just glad more fans are actually waking up, and starting to appreciate what Thomson does in our Midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry88 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I agree. I think he is an excellent player, who's technical ability is often overlooked. He may not create as many chances as mendes, but the ones he does create seem to end in the back of the net. Hopefully our next captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'm just glad more fans are actually waking up, and starting to appreciate what Thomson does in our Midfield. I agree. Like any player in our team, I'd sell if a ridiculous bid came in. But, in Kevin's case, it would need to be an absolutely bonkers bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy WATP 86 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 He shouldnt play so deep in our half He is much more than a DM I would liken him to a box-box midfielder and when he drives forward chances are usually made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,287 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 If he can cut out the silly bookings he would be a fine captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsa 3,906 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 i feel that when ferguson comes back there will be major problems with the midfield. he always has to be top dog and if everything goes through him all the time it will once again inhibit the likes of thomson.

maxwellrfc 6 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 think he would make a good captain but knowin david murray hell probly get sold in january if a half decent offer comes in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 582 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 the only way he will go is if we get an offer for £6miilion OR walter insists on playing ferguson and leaving thomson on the bench - kets hope for the future of the team and our younger players this doesn't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBlue 136 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'm just glad more fans are actually waking up, and starting to appreciate what Thomson does in our Midfield. In fairness, it did take him quite a long time to settle and he is still prone to the silly fouls but there's no doubt he's steadily improving and I for one am starting to revise my view that Ferguson would be a better defensive midfield option than Thomson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeskens 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think he's average at best. And i think he'll be out the team is Ferguson gets back to his best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 If we had to lose one of the two, I'd honestly let Ferguson go before I would Thomson. I keep seeing people mention him getting silly bookings. Granted he picked up many stupid bookings last season, but how many times has he actually been booked this season? I count no more than 2 (though I've been known to be wrong before!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billythebear1986 316 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 iv got to agree hes much more than your typical defensive midfielder, he has a fair mount of technical skill aswell. i also noticed hes good at going on surging runs. ie celtic for his goal and last last where we took to men on before slotrting it home, walter plz dont sell him!!!!!
