STM Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Get rid. Sick of hearing about him all the time. If a daft bid comes in for him, which I doubt it will, we should cash in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Just maybe he was looking so good for us because we had no other option but him. Now we look a proper team, he is looking much worse. Yeah, it's fun to see him take on players....but would still rather have a better team player with better end product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I keep hearing talk about big money for him. I imagine we'd do well to get £25m for him, forget £50m as some have said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Very stupid thing to say when you're out of form and have struggled to string 2 good performances together for months. Perhaps a defence mechanism, as I imagine the question was a loaded one as he's referencing Mane, but it doesn't make the answer any better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 ASM isn't as good as he thinks he is, but he is better than his current performances suggest. I don't doubt that with better players he'd be better - but that's applicable to everyone. Those comments are pure knobheaddery, mind. Have to say, unlike the previous 14 years, I wouldn't be too upset about any player leaving at any time - namely because I'd know it was the manager's call, and not just an accounting decision. Ambitious clubs still sell players, even good ones, if they aren't the right fit or a better option is available. Under Ashley, selling ASM would have just been about the bottom line.

prefabtoon Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Sorry guys but Max is turning into a prize knob, what he said wont go down well with the team. And The step over thing against palace, was just cringe worthy, look at me I'm a Gallic super star. I don't think so max Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The sad thing is if I wasn’t so invested in NUFC, I’d fucking love ASM because he’s a pure baller, a street footballer who plays in the purest sense. He reminds me of kids’ football where all they want to do is be on the ball and beat players and do their shit. The sadder thing is he CAN be a great player, but at this level you can’t play for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Asm trying to cross a ball is worse than me doing it with my left. Almost none of his so called crosses find a teammate. So often I’m like “what the heck was that” I’m sure he’ll come good again and better. But I just doubt he'll ever be good enough to be where we are heading. Be that a lack of quality or mentality, probably both. I want to like him but some of the stuff makes it more difficult. Like this if true. Focus on yourself and your football, only then will he be able to get anywhere, or have the chance to. After seeing players like Trippier and Bruno playing for us the difference in quality to most others is even greater. As in playing with with us now, the contrast in quality is even more obvious. If someone offered us say 35m then I’d sell Edited May 5, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 That is a terrible thing to say in a situation where we still have important games coming up and team morale is crucial. Howe will now have a tricky decision as to whether to play him. There have been so many warning signs about the player's general attitude over the last few months. He's off at the end of this season.

Oregon_Geordie Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) 13 hours ago, Paully said: Shearer is our greatest goalscorer. He'd have hated playing with Maxi. Even when he does do the hard work and could create, he tries to overcook it and the striker has no idea how, when or if to time a run. There's zero consistency to his game. Plus Mane busts his balls every game. That kinda comment will be why Howe will sack him off. Talks like he's fucking Messi. He's done nothing to even consider himself close to Mane yet.

Mazzy Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I don't imagine the players will appreciate him saying that. There will be a good bit of "banter" coming his way at the training ground I'm sure. He's lucky that there will be a fairly sizeable change in players come the summer months and those comments will get forgotten soon enough but it wasn't a smart thing to say.

On reflection, this will come as no surprise to Howe and the squad. I think they've been dealing with this kind of attitude for some time now. Howe will assess the state of play and decide whether this latest statement changes anything. Ultimately, the guy has made himself look stupid.

gbandit Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 One thing you don’t want to do in a team sport is slag your teammates off like. I reckon he’s just feeling a bit insecure as he’s not had a good run of form for a few months now and he just wants to find something external to blame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloGeordio Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) He’ll be gone. Howe won’t have that. Proof of the pudding as they say, he’s all show. Bruno stole his limelight, he’s not a team player. We’ll replace him I’m sure. If not this window, then next year.

sushimonster85 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Very weird chat from a bloke who's only recent assist came because he misplaced a pass at Norwich that happened to find its way through Joe. I do like ASM, and think it's right he gets more leeway than other members of the team in certain areas (pressing for example), but drama stuff like this that threatens the harmony of the squad is exactly the sort of stuff Howe won't want. Like others have said, I don't think any team that could afford to put a daft bid in for him will want or need him, but if someone stupid like Villa did I'd be very tempted to cash in this summer.

It's difficult to know what he's worth? We paid around £25 million for Willock so you would think we'd get more for ASM but then I can't think of any teams who would pay over that amount? Probably the best solution would be to exchange ASM for another player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
