SiLvOR Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I was barely ever watching under Bruce, so I never got attached to anyone really, Maxi obviously included. That's probably why I'm only a little bit sad about this. Whereas if it were Joelinton going, I'd be completely gutted, seeing his turnaround under Howe and what a cracking bloke he is. Maxi unfortunately hasn't had that chance to shine really, be it through injury or just not favoured enough. Edited July 20, 2023 by SiLvOR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Im not sure about replacing ASM with Barnes, would be a small improvement but when were restricted with FFP and need quality in other positions like LB and CB id be tempted to keep him and pie off Barnes. We already massively overpaid for Gordon with will have impacted us FFP wise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) It sounds like we were planning to buy Gordon this summer regardless. We may well have been priced out if we'd waited. Edited July 20, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I know it’s cliche to point this out, but if he was called Antonio Gordinho, we’d signed him for the same fee from abroad and he’d just won the Player of the Tournament at the U21 Euros our fans would be cock in hand that we’ve got one of the top prospects in world football.

Maxi unfortunately hasn't had that chance to shine really, be it through injury or just not favoured enough. This is me. I really like ASM as a player, he makes things happen and he's exciting to watch. He was always going to move on at some point, though. Howe's been incredible, give him the players he really wants and let him work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think and hope Gordon has a great season coming up, but fans are mostly judging him on what they saw on the pitch last season - which is not unreasonable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASM sits below Sellars in the LW pecking order every time for me. Fox was a very good player who blew hot & cold. He was one of my favourites when he was here, though.

His edgy emo instagram posts turned me a little off tbh. Judging the value of footballers by their Instagram posts? This world is crazy. What if you found out Ginola used to collect stamps or was into carving poetry into wood? Would that’ve turned you off him anarl? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought ASMs ambiguous post at the end of the year was one where he wanted to stay, but his gut / info he had told him that he'd be moved on. I thought at the time it was a "please stick with me I'm trying to be the best I can be, but if I do go, I gave everything, please love me" post Edited July 20, 2023 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bally21 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Regards Anthony Gordon, his confidence should be high after the England U21s win, we need to get behind the lad, seems like we could be in danger of writing the kid off - give him a chance.

Was never a huge fan of Gordon, even more so having paid £45M for him, but he had a cracking Euros. To write him off so early, when he came here with ultra low confidence, would be strange.
