It'll be shit. Hopefully those moments will become less and less though. Has this ever actually worked? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Will miss Maxi. One of a very very small number of things that kept me going as a supporter pre-takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 How good is the Saudi league going to get like? Must be hard to admit that your careers basically over before you've done anything really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they’ll have made a nice wedge in the meantime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Some of the younger ones going across could arguably make a lifetimes worth of money in a couple of seasons and then once the bubble has burst make their way back to a very good standard of European football.

Deuce Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 ASM v Barnes debate is so fucking tedious at this point. Yes, ASM is a more talented footballer than Barnes. Barnes is far more suited to the football that we play, and will elevate the entire team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't bring on Ritchie and the like to do that. We're more likely to put Isak out wide, and I genuinely have more faith in him to produce something over Maxi.

I like the player, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single pro-ASM argument that acknowledges large parts of what they are saying are irrelevant if our manager doesn’t want to play him.

Could be surprisingly hard to come back from if the standard is quite low and it doesn't require much fitness. Guess it doesn't matter if you make enough money.

Mike Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Really down about this, tbh. I feel like we never got to see what an ASM Isak Miggy attack would look like. The ASM in the Man City game could play for any team in the fucking world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Maxi to bits but -through gritted teeth- you have to say the 2nd option is a no-brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Barnes being one of the best in the league at the give and go it's going to be just as fun watching he and Bruno/Sandro/Isak interact as Maxi's crazy take ons.
