Manxst Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 19 minutes ago, McCormick said: I don’t see the point in spending that kind of money on Diaby and wanting to sell ASM. He’s a worse version of Maxi; the guy’s defensive contribution is absolutely zero and has less vision. Only advantages are his age, ability to play on the right and he’s less injury-prone. Otherwise he’s an inferior version. Plus his potentially better attacking stats? He’s got 14 goals this season. ASM hasn’t got 14 goals in the last four years combined. Total career appearances/goals- ASM 291/35, MD 206/53. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fit maxi would better those numbers over there imo, although there’s no way I can prove that Edited May 23, 2023 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Really difficult for us to say who we would like and wouldn’t and for what amount of money as we have absolutely no clue. It could be anything from 150-300m. 150-200m would be my guess based on fuck all really. It’s fun nonetheless. I genuinely think we can forget the likes of Rice or players of around 100M and the type of wages a player like this would demand. It’s too early. I’m sure we could afford it but it would be at the cost of lacking in other areas. Need to find the right balance between top quality/price/potential. Not easy.

LionOfGosforth Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Watching Tyneside Life matchday video, he claimed to have chatted with Leicester fans pre-match and they were adamant that locally it's known Maddison has signed a pre-contract agreement with us. Almost certainly bollocks of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondonewc Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Someone asked me today who I'd like to see us sign, and my reply was "Whoever they choose to sign I'm sure will be the right ones", and of course at some point we'll buy a dud, but I trust Howe and the team behind him so much that I'm just going to chill on all the rumours and be excited by whoever we do bring in. I can't wait to see how we line-up and how strong our bench will be come next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Not sure if he’d want to leave, but with Juventus’ recent points deduction potentially leaving them out of European qualification, I would enquire about Chiesa. Immensely talented player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I wonder if any of our targets have champions league clauses in their contracts similar to what Grealish had at Villa. Qualifying really has opened up so many opportunities for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I obviously wouldn’t mind pacy players out wide, but I also don’t think it should come at the cost of flair/creativity/technical ability. The better we become the more the opposition will look to kill space. Of course it’s necessary to be quick in transitions and all that too but I can see us changing our style slightly when it comes to getting new players in, especially for some areas. There has been talk about the likes of Diaby, Harvey Barnes and so on. Personally I don’t see these players being very effective against a low block. We are very unlikely to be in transition from defence to attack quite as often in the future as we get better within time so I can see us change. Teams like Leicester, Leverkusen and so on are never going to play even close to the same way like say City (extreme example). We should have won the game last night no matter what, but I’m pretty sure a couple of flair players would have helped immensely. And a different kind of LB even if Burn did well.

Not watched Juve recently, is he still the same player? Juventus in general are struggling under Allegri, but admittedly doesn’t seem to have been in the same form pre-injury. Been back since start of April, 2 assists and 1 goal in last 8 matches. Not played a full 90 in that period. Still, I really love his game and technical qualities. I think a player like him would be a now or never type of move for us and others, don’t expect Juventus to have as bad a season as they’ve had like this one for ages. So, if you did want the likes of Vlahovic, Chiesa etc. now would be the window to make a move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
