    Maxi wasn't going to start for us, period. 

    The elevation of his productivity is insane. Bloke spent more time on his arse than anything else. Canny dribbler but, then again, so am I on a night out. 

    Get over yourselves ffs ?????

     

    Agree, he gave out more watches than assists. Showman, is skillful as hell but honesty did very little the last two seasons. It all makes sense.

    I'd rather have both, but I'd choose Barnes overall if I had to.

    I really rate Barnes, but also completely underwhelmed by the signing.

    Think it comes down to rating ASM (and Maddison as well Tbf) higher.

    Barnes over Madison for me. I think Bruno can be our Madison if allowed.

    If we weren’t selling Maxi I’m sure everyone would be very excited. It’s a very good signing. 

    Maxi barely played last year and we did ok. Good signing, and has goals and assists to add to the team that got us 4th.

    Excited to see him grow with EH and the team.

    Him and Bruno in the same team man, the quality Tonali has is telling.

     

     

     

    Throw in Christian Bassedas and the league would be ours!

  5. Most kits with a pattern will. It's cut from a roll of Printed Fabric.

    If not, the waste is ridiculous and that's bad for the planet.

     

    You can place a design on the front of a shirt, but for random Patterns

    it makes sense to have differing placements but a generally similar visual overall.

     

    That's from the horse's mouth.

     

  6. Big Phillipe Albert and the chip-over Rudolph for the 5th.

    I was in the Leazes right behind it as it left his foot. It floated in slow motion as I left my seat to stand, then hit the net and we all went crackers...

     

    Best days of my life that season.

  7. I reckon Eddie is standing by Maxi and the he wants to keep him 'line' in Public.

    So if he's sold it points towards the club, rather than Eddie.

     

    If Neves was 50 and Marhrez 30 then Maxi is worth 50-60m.

    That would give us potentially 60-100m to Spend. So 2-3 new signings.

    Barnes 35, Livramento 20(ish), and then 45-50 on another I'd imagine - fuck knows who...Chiesa, Diaby?

     

    Those 3 with Tonali massively improved our squad and started 11. ASM rarely played last year.

     

    Probably, completely wrong :)

    Barnes has comparable ‘stats’ to Bukayo Saka, Jack Grealish, Rashford etc.  

     

    Why do we think other top 6 clubs aren’t in for him at £35m?

    Because they have the above players?

    So what was the point of Anthony Gordon? We spend 75m on two LWs and ignore RW, LB, and RB? Definitely need to sell ASM if true, and he will be a bargain since everyone will know we need to sell.  LW: Gordon, ASM, Isaak, Big Joe,  and Barnes?

    Personally, I feel Eddie sees Gordon as a utility player to play in numerous positions, in different games, or changeable during a game -  flexibility is key to wor Eddie!

    Big Joe, Willock, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon, and Barnes are all fluid players.... who can evolve during a game or be picked for various opposition.

  10. I'm bored of the ASM stuff. He's had his chance and he's not done enough. 6/10. 

    Goals win games and the stats don't lie - Maxi's stats don't quite hit the ballon d'or hype he suggests.

    Do you want to watch random pointless stepovers or win games?

     

    Jokes aside, I'd keep Maxi, but if Howe switches him out for Barnes and uses the cash to buy a Chiesa or Diaby I'm down.

    Barnes has levels to go, and ASM is one of the very few players to not improve under Howe.

     

    I'm sure Howe is somewhat fed up with the bandages, moaning, and cryptic media messaging too - let's see how it pans out, but fans need to trust the bloke that just got us to 4th with Dan Burn and Longstaff.

    Wondering what this does to Isak if Wilson starts or if Wilson just fully becomes a bench player this season?

    Squad game, innit!

    We're gonna need rotation this year, once the champions league music is blaring out.

  12. Great video and insight. Wait til he gets in with the lads and they integrate him into the group.

    It's clear this is the best group of lads we've had and I think he'll love it here. Everybody seems to say we have the best dressing room they've seen.

     

    Excited as fuck watching that. What a club man!

  13. Which wealthy young women would prefer Northumberland Street over wandering by the Duomo?  it's common sense...

    As long as he's enjoying his footy I'm fine.
