Lush Vlad Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 3 minutes ago, St1pe said: I’m starting to sound like a broken record but given the state of transfer fees now €25m for ASM with his prime years ahead of him while he’s sat on a 3 year deal is all kinds of shit for us. He has one good season where some of his chances are converted and that fee is literally doubled. I know he’s got some haters but that isn’t a highly unlikely scenario either. We’re getting bumped here. To sign Harvey Barnes. Agree with this, bar the very last bit. I find it odd that people are so down on Barnes. I’m disappointed that ASM is leaving and for less than I think he’s worth. Whilst also excited by the prospect of signing Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 €25m is a joke given the Neves and Fabinho fees. Payment terms mean fuck all unless it’s another €15m in bonuses and add ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I thought ASM could have an Almiron-esque season next year so I don’t like the news, especially not at 25m. I thought if anyone from the PL came in, it would be 40 and if it’s bloody Saudi, they would pay north if 50. The guy gets bums on seats, he’s a rare type of player that is exciting and worth the entry fee alone, so surprised it’s not translated into an inflated worth. Not as though he’s in his final year or he’s had a bad few years or anything. So it doesn’t make sense. If we sold for 25+ and it allowed us to get Barnes Chiesa Tierney, Livramento and Todibo it’s obviously a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Give it's now been reported multiple times we want more than €25 million and the club have stated this is to give us more capacity under FFP, I assume some folk just miss having a whinge at this point.

We paid £20m as a gamble for ASM and only cover our money back in a period where fees have significantly inflated. Don’t think so, it’s shit business sense.

Neves, 26yr old, 41 games for Portugal = £47m Fabinho, 29yr old, 29 games for Brazil = £40m Maxi, 26yr old, 0 games for France = £25m+ Seems fair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 5 hours ago, samptime29 said: I get ASM goals and assists should be higher but he's arguably one of the best players at creating space in the league. I really feel he has tried to adapt to what Howe wants and has made good progress in that regard. I love Howe and always trust his judgement but he worried he's making an avoidable mistake here. Not sure selling him can be regarded as potentially making a mistake. Making a mistake would be keeping ASM and not being able to buy any other players this transfer window which is certainly what Howe is implying.

So why post the bait when you know people are gonna have a whinge? Seems a bit odd. They know we’re in a tight position. I’m sure we should get at least the £40m, tight bastards. Seems like everything else involved in the transfer has went positively, so hopefully this gets sorted over the next two days for our benefit.
