timeEd32 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I've thought for awhile that the only chance he stays is if we qualify for the CL. Otherwise I think he's first on the list to sell to help fund improvements elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I was just playing Magic the Gathering with him, he said "Mate, those bellends have no idea. I can't leave, I've got an ASBO ankle bracelet that will go off the moment I step outside of the NE postcodes. Also, I don't have a passport. I traded it in for a mint condition First-Edition Crystal Charizard." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'd be quite gutted if we got rid of him. Yes, he can be frustrating, something I've voiced, but he really does seem to have bought into Eddie's instruction. He looked incredibly sharp the other night, and I think he's in for a start Tuesday, which will kick him on. Have complete faith that he'll be here for a while, and thrive.

80 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If I had to put money on his future, that's where I'd put it. As things stand he can leave here with his head held high, though. And therefore, I still hope he does get back in the team as he's clearly got a lot to give. But it might just be a style incompatibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaxer Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Be a shame if ASM leaves like, you can tell he's trying to play how Howe wants and he's done well off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzyIsak Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We are going go be in Europe next season, you kind of need double the amount of players in the squad anyway. ASM will get plenty of game time even if he isn't first choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a luxury Ginola type player and will never cover the ground that Howe wants. Happy for him to go tbh. Some of you really deserve to watch Jacob Murphy for all eternity.

There will be skilful players out there who can properly cover their left back. He isn’t one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bearing in mind Southampton need to come here and attack, leaving themselves open at the back, and we have a crucial game half a week later, you'd think it would be ideal for ASM to start. Giving Longstaff or Willock a rest in the process. If that doesn't happen, you'd have to think that means something for the long term. Unless whatever injury or illness he's been dealing with has been even worse than we realise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Don't think he has a long-term here primarily because of ffp and not sure he'll be okay alternating, but it would be great if he was as that would be three top wide men. Like to see Gordon as an upgrade on Murphy that's going to alternate with ASM/Miggy than a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveready Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I still think he'll be back in the starting line up as soon as we lose a game. Just don't think Howe wants to change the starting 11 unforced with the unbeaten run we're on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously we didn't have much competition for Wilson, now we have him and Isak fighting for the shirt. What's wrong with having Gordon and Maxi doing the same for that left wing position? Why do we need to sell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're always going to lose the ball more than your Tiotes or Battys, because they try things. That's the whole point. And you don't really want them tracking back all of the time because they need energy to run the other way. Obviously there's a limit, they need to put some effort in, but I pay money to watch exciting play not to watch James fucking Perch knock a pass 5 yards sideways to Vernon bloody Anita.
