ExiledGeordie Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) I think he’ll be here next season unless we get a concrete offer which makes financial sense to sell. ‘If’ he can stay fit I actually think he’ll have a good season too but he just struggles to stay fit.

Nucasol Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Strange one. Other than Saudi I’m not seeing who out of the major players there are left to spend big money and need a player in his position. Think he’s here next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 After years at a bottom half PL club this is his chance to play in the CL, for that reason I think he stays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusSlime Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I think selling him would be insane considering the amount of games we have next season and how much it would cost to buy a player at his level. I’ve seen some comments around cashing in on him or Almiron which at this stage would be a massive backwards step for me. I don’t doubt we could replace these players as our ambitions grow - but not at this time as far as I’m concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would cash in on him but I do see why people want to keep him as on his day he is great - they just don’t come around enough and I can’t remember him coming off the bench and changing a result around to get a win (probably wrong but I can’t remember) like isak, Wilson or even miggy has. if we can use the cash to get someone more consistent then personally I would.

buzza Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I want him to get a proper pre-season into him and for his niggles to dissappear. We could finally see the Maxi we would all love to see i.e. fully fit and doing his bit at defending (albeit not that much… but something) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Fully fit St Maximin with Joelinton or Willock as a LCM is great for us. He’ll be unlocked beyond anything we have ever seen if we sign a proper threat to play right wing. For example, if we signed Raphina or Ferran Torres - nobody is tripling up on ASM.

I'm a fan, but he's always been too inconsistent or erratic for me. His recent increase in defensive effort and releasing the ball better (thanks to coaching and his willingness to listen/learn) has certainly been an improvement but I'm far from convinced he can even make it at the top despite his skill and flair.

Bloke wants to look at himself. He's got the talent, but just seems like another Ben Arfa in terms of attitude. Personally I think it's got to the stage where he's offloaded. This with his injury record makes it a no brainer, again imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last year he was unlucky with injuries, but he still contributed and looked great at times. He tore City/Kyle Walker a new one in the home game. His volley against Wolves was unreal. I don't want to lose anyone with quality just yet, but if next season is injury plagued like the last one I'd then believe moving him on maybe best for everyone. Rotation and more games with a better squad could lead to much better season for ASM. Edited July 3, 2023 by hakka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
