NobbySolano Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 3 hours ago, hakka said: So if a player has one season out of many where they drop as low as 12 starts, you have to assume that is going to keep happening and ignore seasons before where he started more? It's pure selective nonsense. Its the same on your end. Season before that he only started 17. and Only 23 his first season. Which one is the outlier? The way some posters talk about ASM is as if we are selling Shearer. I have nothing against ASM, and he is fine. But it is the ASM fan boys that actually make me want to sell him - maybe they will follow him to his new team. I am convinced if you put together a Venn diagram of ASM fans, Gordon haters, Miggy downers, and Barnes doubters. You'd end up with a perfect circle.

The Prophet Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If that's the final package, it seems pretty obvious he isn't being sold for FFP reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the “final” package might not be fully disclosed atm (played down possibly) FFP is a good reason to placate the Maxi lovers that don’t want him to go (I loved him but meh about this) Wish him well, let him wipe his tears in dollars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigen Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Sell ASM for 25 and buy Barnes for 38 is a joke. Newcastle has weakened the team and also has lost money. Absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddySAFC Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Surprised on a few things here, The fact he's being sold, the fee involved and that he's going to Saudi, You would think a team in Europe would fancy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 These Saudi teams are proving to be a good outlet for clubs looking to move players on, getting a decent price and the players able to earn big money. Win win all round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm sure the wages he picks up will soften the blow of not wanting to go there. Does anyone know what the tax is like for players there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great coach, but you never must built a team on the market following the coach. Chelsea made the same mistake last summer with Tuchel. Newcastle had a top market last summer, but then spend 45m for an average player as Gordon and now this nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon88 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) For a luxury fringe player, who’s injury prone, and scored one goal all season, I don’t think we can complain about £30m. Take it, and move on. Edited July 20, 2023 by Toon88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money absolutely isn't an issue for us - all that matters is FFP. By selling Maxi we have got rid of a player who isnt fancied by the manager and enabled us to sign a few additional players in this window. I'm not sure if you don't understand this or if you are being deliberately obtuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
