I would have thought the only reason to sell ASM would be to bring in a really high quality wide man who would fit the system better, presumably the likes of Gordon or Harrison.

BIG NO. And no. There's not an argument to have Gordon over ASM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I think both ASM and Wilson limit our transfer strategy to a certain extent, not that it's their fault or there's anything we can do. Both have to play, both have question marks over them, both probably need to be upgraded in the medium term.

Pata Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I don’t know if it’s the Ashley-era or what but the season starts in a week and there’s always someone suggesting we sell our best winger. Would rather just sign one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The minute we get a better attacking kid or another top winger I think we’ll see a far better version of maxi. He doesn’t strike me as a guy who goes into full maxi mode in preseason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we'd sell even with a good offer, we're clearly struggling to get players in why would we make things harder for ourselves to get a replacement for Maxi as well.

Mazzy Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Wouldn't surprise me if it's the usual agent led rumours to perhaps try and get an improved contract or to simply just get people talking about him and his name in the papers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 We all know that Howe and his methods can improve players and Ive no doubt the same will be true of ASM. Who knows, he may even improve Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly would love that to be the case, but I don't think he's ever going to be a team player, it goes against every instinct in his body. Even when he tries to look like he's following instruction, he still waits until the last possible moment to release the ball, and by then the opportunity has gone. It's just not how he wantst to play the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to, I agree in the future if he doesn't improve his output he should be replaced but we're desperate for wingers so selling our best one would be madness imo.

What's he on £100k? So we'd have that as a starting point to offer a salary. Add £50k to that and we're flying. Right now, £50k gets us another Ryan Fraser.

Hard to believe there's such imbeciles on here, literally makes me think of Mackem wums! Ultimately it will be a Howe and co. judgement call. I don’t think it is ridiculous to talk about. The only way, at least I hope the only way, it would happen is if it opened up opportunities to sign two more ‘Howe’ type wingers. Or a top drawer replacement/clear improvement. All teams shuffle the deck, particularly with a relatively new manager who didn’t buy the majority of the squad. This sometimes might mean discarding a fan favourite or two.
