Manxst Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Fuck me, just give it a rest man. ASM is being sold, and Barnes is being bought. Life goes on. The pros and cons of both players have been discussed to death, and at this point no one will be changing their opinion until Barnes starts playing. Let’s just get behind Barnes, support the team, and trust the club, eh? You never know, it might just be a whole lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hysteria over this is absolutely mental. The gif below pretty much sums him up. Lots of fluff but not much end product.

Don’t you get it - our top class manager and owners whose brought us CL football back and put a spring in so many of our steps hasn’t earned the right to sell one player yet in a lot of our fans eyes.

patrone Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think Gordon is/was ASM's replacement, we just didn't have the chance to sell him earlier. Barnes is a welcome addition to the squad depth. ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 One thing that's really sad about this is that if he leaves to Saudi it means that he may not get to play in the Champions League ever.. Left the moment he got there with us, after what we went through together the last years. He was linked with Champions League clubs in some windows aswell. Who knows though, maybe he will go back to Europe at some point.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows though, maybe he will go back to Europe at some point.. I have to say I’m not seeing the sadness like. He played intermittently well for us - and was hardly a key part in NUFC qualifying last season. He had two years under Bruce where he was a relief to the mediocrity and boredom - he’s hardly a long term servant of the club. This isn’t Rob Lee leaving after nearly a decade with us on the cusp of being good again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Why can't people who liked him be allowed to be sad that he's leaving right before a CL campaign? Is that really a subject that needs some gatekeeping due to someone else being a better and longer serving servant of the club decades ago ffs?

And that opinion is that some of the stuff I’ve seen around ASM’s departure is just odd to me. This isn’t a player who scored in every round of the cup being dropped for the final - it’s a player who scored one goal last season having his apparent destiny snatched away. Fucking hell man, ASM isn’t even close to the best NUFC players I’ve seen who didn’t play CL football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone says they are sad he's leaving before getting to play at CL and you come crashing in with 'I'm not sad, we've had better players'. Hope you don't end up accidentally in some random funerals.

It’s not a dig only at the poster - it’s the volume of this guff. Do you see the man in my avatar? He is the best player I’ve ever seen in a B&W shirt, and most of my vintage would likely say the same. But I’ve never heard anyone get sad about the fact that Peter Beardsley left the same season we qualified for the CL the first time. ASM had little role in us qualifying for the CL. Some heed-shaking needs to take place. It’s not quite the same as rocking up to a random funeral and saying ‘who’s the cunt in the coffin, then?’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I just don't see how Beardsley or Lee leaving decades ago have anything to do with this thread.

For someone who complained about gatekeeping this looks an awful lot like gatekeeping. ‘Don’t comment if I don’t agree’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is liking a player, there is not wanting him to leave, and then there is suggesting that there is an injustice to him not fulfilling his destiny of playing CL football for NUFC. First two make perfect sense to me - the latter, not a bit of it. He’s not being dragged from the club kicking and screaming after having the thing he’d worked so hard to achieve snatched away from him. He’s off to earn stupendous money in a league where his output won’t be criticised. Sounds like a dream ticket to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty much single handedly kept the team up when Joelinton couldn’t even hit the ball properly.
