ASM played 35 games/2825 minutes in the league in 21/22, over half of that under Howe. I appreciate that everyone can have their own opinions but please don't lie or make shite up without checking first.

Fucking hell.

Still don't see how he would've played against Gateshead if any move to Saudi was even remotely close to happening.

You were one of the 'lol stats' guys in the Barnes thread, right?

Love a CB like him, always ready to dribble past players in a tight spot instead of just hoofing it. Game looked so easy to him when he was at his prime. Would easily be in my NUFC all-star team of 2000s and would love to see him back at SJP now with Jonas.

Crying about other clubs' spending is getting really tiresome by the middle of July, many don't seem to have any idea how FFP even works.

Yeah but it's still not very high salary. More that Milan aren't paying big salaries and we could offer a bit more but he would still be getting £300k or more from Man United or Chelsea for example which is in a very high salary range.

”They can offer a very high salary…” Do some fucking research, it’s your job ffs.

I was thinking about his career, he’s 26 and I hope he’s not ready to retire yet.

That’s a great price for Gnonto.

Absolutely, I was frustrated last season that he was a bit too hesitant to run at fullbacks and instead played the easy and safe pass too often.

1115 minutes, do you need help in converting that to a more understandable metric?

And there’s no point having this forum if everyone just has to trust the process and the people behind it without any dialogue.

I’ll take a break after this but ASM’s xG+xA per 90 was higher than Barnes’ this season, 0.52 vs 0.40. Still poster after poster comes here telling everyone ASM has no end product. Only thing letting him down last season was his fitness. And I would love some proof on the fact that Howe massively hates ASM.

I’m biased here but the takes from ASM haters are way more embarrassing and once again eye-opening.

The fuck is this garbage?

His stats didn’t really win games last season though.

Fix that filthy quote.

I get quite annoyed about you tbh.

We are in the Champions League mate.

Really hope that’s the case, think many are concerned we are selling ASM due to this.

He said ASM doesn’t contribute in assists. Think I’ve said all I’ve got on this topic and if there are people who compare watching ASM play to pulling your teeth, I don’t really know what to even say to them. Probably the same people that booed HBA and Robert due to lack of grit.

ASM had really high xA per 90 last season, way ahead of Barnes.

I think it’s a decent point regarding a highly productive player whose club just got relegated. Everyone knows he’s available but think he’s been mostly linked to West Ham before us.

Will be between Barnes and ASM for that holding midfielder role in 2028.
