He needs to show that he can adapt and contribute to an organised team with a structured game-plan. I really want it to work for him because at his best, he's such an exciting player to watch, but if it doesn't work out then I suspect his career ceiling may be comparable to Zaha at Palace. My gut feel is that he might not have the right mentality to go to the top, but I sincerely hope I'm wrong. I think he has it and will. We simply need equal pace and quality on right flank. Wilson in middle of that would be dangerous, marking suddenly becomes a nightmare and ASM gets more space and options to work with in attack. Same goes for others, and with Bruno feeding it forward he's going to unlock defences and give them all chances. Would be great to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope so however with being afforded more space comes a greater expectation with his decision making and end product. He needs to learn to pick the right time to dribble and when to pass etc. and to be fair to him of late, I think he's working on it so there's promise.

A hard working, team playing ASM with an end product would be amazing on one of our wings. Me too. If he’d just look up earlier he’d instantly become twice the player. The lad has sensational close control of the ball, just needs to add some smarts to his game. Those last few games last season did offer some hope - but he either steps up or ships out now I suspect.

Tiresias Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I haven't heard any noise about a move which i think we would have if he was agitating for one. Hopefully he's listening to howe. I just want him to be in position for great balls through from bruno leaving him with only one player to beat rather than trying to go past everyone and losing it. It's definitely a combination between his poor decision making and other teams knowing he's only threat so doubling up on him while wood and miggy didn't need much attention. I hope when there are more threats on pitch he will have more fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm fairly relaxed about the ASM situation. I don't think he'll ever be a team player, but because he's so dangerous, he's still an asset, and one of the few players we could get big money for if we ever wanted to part ways. Still very important to us this coming season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I’m excited to see what Howe can get out him. I probably lean towards a minor improvement but there’s a genuine chance he has a phenomenal season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Bold prediction Maxi out - Harrison in paquetta in (as well) I would like this (plus Dennis) on the right if we need to stick to budget plus….loan centre forward !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Be very surprised if we sold Maxi, he’s capable of better and if that happens loads of clubs will be in for him at a much higher price. I don’t think he’d move to any other PL club so it doesn’t leave loads of places he could go to anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSelecta Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Daft to sell him now. If he performs again at the same level his value will remain the same, if he has a fantastic season it will rocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any evidence at all to suggest he doesn't like him, unless we think he's simply had no choice but to play him. Still, I don't see it, I think he sees him as very valuable and I really don't think we'd want to burden ourselves with having to buy two wingers this summer.

The majority of clubs would want someone who fits the team pattern better. Like Harrison. ASM is best when he's playing for a shit manager like Bruce or Pardew. 8 men behind the ball, then give it to ASM to win it with a bit of magic. Which works maybe half a dozen times a season.

ponsaelius Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 As we have found this summer it is extremely easy to find and sign talented wide players.
