Situations change obviously but I agree I can see him being sold. They were probably both getting their info from this forum 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I know one of the local journos and he reckons old Baldy Edwards is pretty well connected regarding his info which came as a surprise to me. Make of that what you will though.

I’m one of the few people on here who defends LE so doesn’t surprise me at all… but let’s not restart that debate again as it’s hard enough for me trying to fend off everyone wanting to sell ASM 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Though it'll be a real shame to see him go, he was the one bright spot in some bleak times, I can see ASM being sold this summer. With Gordon, Joelinton, Isak and Anderson we have 4 players who can play his preferred position and while he would be useful given the extra games next year he's probably our most sellable player. The way FFP works any profit made on him goes straight on the books allowing the purse strings to be disproportionately loosened for other signings whose cost can be spread over the years of their contacts. For these reasons, plus his fitness issues, I suspect he'll be the one sacrificed in order to make the squad more ready for playing in Europe (and qualifying again next year).

STM Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Has Kante signed a new contract yet? I'd love us to sign him. Give him a 2 year deal, put him on the same wages as Bruno. At least we know he's not a mercenary type. He'd bring valuable experience, could play in the 6 or the 8 position. Besides, everywhere he goes.... trophies follow. I'm presuming that he has somewhere lined up, big pay day somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 It’s a shame Maxi got injured to be honest. Was starting to look really effective and I think he’d be hugely important in the run-in if we can get him fit. Fingers crossed he’s back soon.
