If you want more end product, it makes sense.

Maxi has laid chances on a plate time and time again which but for poor finishing would have been assists thats not really his fault. Even yesterday he should have about 4 assists but ended up with 1 because of poor finishing. Could add more goals but he hasn’t been terrible in front of goal. He also gets us up the pitch in seconds

Disagree but that’s fine and if he is it’s not by much. I’d be on board if we were selling him to fund a Chiesa or partly towards the Napoli boy but selling him just to bring in Barnes is meh to me would rather just keep maxi 

 

 

 

I'd prefer to have someone actually makes the pitch, rather than sending cryptic messages every other week on social media.

Aw man. Love Maxi. Not many players in the world can put the fear of god into elite full-backs like he can, when he’s in full flow. You could see him trying to change his game for Howe too (with noticeable improvements in his decision-making), so it’s not like he hasn’t bought in to what we were trying to do.
 

Seems to get a lot more stick than previous mercurial wingers who’ve played for us as well. With our crowd, it doesn’t take much for the groans to start, as if everything he did had to be magic. Weird. 

 

Yesterday I read the plaudits for Anderson getting a goal and assist.

 

Maxi did the same and more, had Lewis,Anderson, and others finished their chances, he'd have had 3 if not four assists and his goal.

 

But, nobody was bothered, just talk of lets sell our best players still, it's mental.

 

If anything we should be looking to offload all the deadwood first, and as the stronger players move down the pecking order it strengthens your squad overall.

We won't get ANY money for this bit though.

 

You know, the thing we need to be able to manoeuvre in the transfer market.

I don't think that's right. I'd say Robert got less love, for example. I find it freakish how we keep ending up in the same relationship with French left wingers.

Agree with what you've said but this part in particular is where we are scuppered.

 

We can't shift our deadwood for anything like a reasonable fee so we can't generate enough money to improve the squad without fouling ffp.

 

I think there are going to be some unpopular/unlikely sales as we go on to help further the squad.

 

Can't say selling maxi would be my first choice like.

Players like ASM are just as likely to be moved on with the FFP regs.

Ginola, Robert and HBA all had the same despite all being better players than ASM.

 

The bloke who sat behind me used to get apoplectic at Robert, usually for absolutely no good reason.

Really? Robert and Ginola are considered club icons and HBA, a cult hero. Of course you could argue he’s not on their level (although talent-wise there’s a faint argument that he could be) but would ASM get the same love after he left?

Barnes don’t need to rely on assists - he just puts the ball in the back of the net himself.

If we could offload the deadwood they would be gone already.

3, 3, 5 ,1 is very poor in four seasons. He should have more assists and his numbers here are ok'ish.

With accumulation of sales it could work out the same, plus deals can be done on larger contracts with payments spread. Amortisation type.

I mean, that’s my point. So Robert didn’t get “less love” at all, then.

Not from me - I loved Robert but to be honest I think we need to sell ASM, nothing personal but if we need to evolve and all that.
