Dr.Spaceman Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Can't see it personally. He'd be after Miggy before ASM, surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Not sure ASM would fit for Rafa's system, ASM is maybe a tad too free spirited say for Rafa. Rafa is system above players as he builds a side, and as someone just commented, Miggy would be a much better fit in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye very true, I've said that a few times myself. He uses a system to fit the level of players he has or can afford/afforded to him. Still think even with money ASM wouldn't be a Rafa's preference. Not that i would like it to happen but it would be interesting to watch if it did happen. Edited July 11, 2021 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i don't disagree, but while it pains me to say it Bruce gives ASM much more freedom than Rafa would imo. Not to say he would be better off with Bruce by the way. As Sima has just eluded to, Rafa with money and the freedom to spend it, is a different manager to one we saw in regard to the team on the pitch. I just have that nagging doubt that ASM wouldn't be a Rafa pick. Edited July 11, 2021 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 If he can keep the structure Rafa would value his ability to transition very highly imo, he's better at it than Almiron and more productive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 at all those rumours. Funny as fuck if ASM goes to play for Rafa; a paltry £10m for Hayden is proper lols when you think how far he might've gone after 18-19; and typical Bruce targeting a complete no-mark to improve our most deficient position.

I actually believe a few seasons under Rafa would complete him as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 If clubs want any of our players then the stars are currently lined perfectly, Ashley couldn't give two fucks, Bruce will do anything for his payoff and Charnley is just... well ......Charnley, there is probably only Jones who will kick back, but he's off rising his stock. What a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The ASM link is just laziness imo. It's in the Sunday Mirror, saying Ancelotti MIGHT go for Richarlison at Real Madrid which COULD see Rafa go for ASM. Like aye, ok. Think we'll get at least 1 more season from ASM providing there's no changes on the ownership or managerial fronts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
