Displayname Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Im fine with it if we get a fee of atleast £50m. Sad to not see him releasing his full potential in our current team though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) £50 mill? Compare that price to Tonali for £55 mill and Maddison for £40 mill.. Don't think we will get more than £40 mill. Edited July 18, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Compare it to Ruben Neves though. For FFP the difference between £40m and £50m is less pronounced. I'd be happy enough with £40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Is it just me or has ASM leaving been discussed so much on this forum that a little part of my brain feels like it has been willed into happening by this disccusion. So I find myself oddly annoyed at the forum for being responsible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are going to be some hard decisions need made if we want to keep progressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was massive against Manu also. Neves has performed for seasons. His attacking numbers are really poor for a guy supposed to be a maverick. I like Maximin but 50m you cant say no to that.

simonsays Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 if it is 40-50m for someone who, as good as he can be, is a squad player who is often injured then its an amazing deal. For a manager who likes his whole team to press and doesn't rotate unless necessary he is never realistically going to be first choice. I'll be sad to see him go but it makes total sense financially and in terms of squad building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 In terms of squad building I'm not sure it makes sense, if anything Maxi becomes a better squad member the less we need to rely on him. That's the biggest shame for me, I can see him becoming a really useful weapon next season. Optimism bias maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like he is fit while he is on the bench and then gets injured when playing - he just cant be relied upon to be available regularly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
