PauloGeordio Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Maxi gave us hope when all was lost under Bruce. Now I watch him and hope we get the performance, dazzling pace with an end product. For me he’s a “hope he can show us his magic” player. Frustrating! Barnes if he comes will be a piece of the Howe jigsaw that will give us more balance, reliability with end product I have no doubt. The price for Maxi? Does anybody really know? Other than the clubs who I’d think would be tight on this. His agent? I refuse to believe PIF shaft PIF, we’ll get maximum for Maximin. Disclosed probably not, but I don’t believe it’s only £25 millions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I don’t get this theory that maxi is worth £40m+ in some peoples eyes, there is a reason why none of the big clubs have came in for him and why he’s never been capped for France, £25-35m is about the right value in the current market for a player with a lot of potential, but very little end product Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Think 40 is high, 25 is ridiculously low, something in between is alright. Don't really care about the fee anyway, as long as the club are happy to take it. Of course, if he ever plays a full season in fit and confident mood, he's worth a lot more than that.

It’s a bloated vanity project and no amount of signings are going to change that. ‘People’ don’t watch the PL to see Bournemouth vs Brighton either. The big clubs will be fine. But some top players at middling clubs like Wolves might take the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Harvey Barnes look a steal. Next Simple point is that I wouldn't want Antony in our team. Adding goals but downgrading link up play doesn't guarantee an upgrade.

Hes an attacking player who barely scores and has average assists numbers. People in here are talkng about 80m worth. Adama Traore is also one of the best in the world when it comes to certain numbers. Is he world class? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Yeah he's not falling into the world class bracket lets be honest. He gets bums off seats when he beats a man but doesn't offer a lot else. We kept him for a few years under Ashley which says it all. Nobody wanted to spend any decent amount of money on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I didn't say he is world class period, I said at the things he does best he is world class. Which if utilized by team that fits his style perfectly (which is not that few, in most Serie A top clubs he would be dominant) would appear as world class.

Absolutely world class but doesn't play for his country and no major clubs appear to have shown any interest in him, even though it's been obvious for a while that Howe doesn't fancy him He's canny on his day, but he's not world class Be surprised if many fans outside of the Premier League even know who he is Edited July 19, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
