STM Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think we would all agree that ASM AND Barnes is a nice blend of options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Does Barnes make good runs inside /beyond ? If Maxi is getting pumped I 'd like to see a replacement that does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly what were you watching? Maxi setting up Joelinton etc to fuck it up isn’t being a ‘show pony’ we can absolutely say injuries have hindered him and we can absolutely say howe has tried to get him to adapt which has made him far less direct but to call him a show pony is ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 We could sign Barnes and Diaby and play Isak as a false nine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 ASM is in literally the top 1-10% of players in Europe's top leagues for assists, expected assists, carries, succesful take ons and runs and passes into the penalty area, shot and goal creating actions per 90, and all despite having an injury ravaged season. No end product is the opposite of his problem, it's a strength. Ironically, I think his biggest problem last season is not being greedy enough. He's hardly taken any shots himself.

Think there was a post on here when the Tierney links were going on that showed ASM had missed as many days as him over the last few seasons due to injury. His overall appearances don't look bad but I can't remember the Bruce days and if he had a bunch of sub apps due to returning from layoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 37 minutes ago, Thumbheed said: The irony of this post being Maxi's single handedly saved us from relegation twice and this has been forgotten after one sketchy season. I don't want to disrespect Saint-Maximin at all, he's a wonderfully talented player that came up big when we were shit. I do also feel like the team becoming more structured - along with injury issues - have killed his career here. He's not able to play the same way.

SUPERTOON Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 On ASM, worth remembering that unless we plan on offering him a new contract, then this is our last chance to make decent money from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Certainly not complaining at Barnes, but even if ASM left I assumed Joe would be wide left next year with Gordon to come in. I can only assume Gordon has been brought in to play on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASM is injured all the time and yes, Joelinton did well there but he’s a midfielder. We need wingers on both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I see it too, it’s extremely hard to replace ASM’s abilities and I think Howe knows that. He’s a unique talent that would be a real weapon if he can stay fit and he understands what Howe wants even better. Really hope we don’t give up on him yet.

MagMal Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Maxi is a good player I just don't think he fits the team now, he was the one bright light for years but now seems out of place. We need to accept as we develop as a club players will move on and I think it is his time. Thanks for the memories, thanks for the joy, thanks for the passion and thanks for been the antidote to Bruce Ball, but also thanks for the £'s to help us improve the squad, it will be others next year and is just part and parcel of our journey.

The reality is if ASM was half as good as some think, with a modicum of consistency, he wouldn’t have remained at Newcastle under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
