Allan Saint-Maximin

[Kitman 2419]

I wish him all the best. The club may have outgrown him now but he was invaluable under Ashley, and for that I'm grateful.

[wykikitoon 23284]

On his day he was unplayable. This sentence could be attached to any pro footballer.

Nah. I can’t think of any other wingers who made Kyle Walker look as much of a chump as ASM did last season. We’re talking about one of the quickest, most talented right backs in Europe and ASM had him in back pocket all game

"4 years ago, I wore the Newcastle jersey for the first time. At that moment, I hadn’t realized that not only was I about to become a Newcastle player, but I was also about to become a Geordie.

 

You might think « nice Goodbye message » but the sentiment runs deeper than any words I could say, from the very first months that I met the people of this city, I truly understood them and embraced their unwavering passion, which is why it was so important for me to give my all and if this meant to play injured or even not making statistics, I didn’t give a shiy as long as it would help my team.

 

Believe me, I fell for Newcastle, I had great opportunities to leave during dark days, but that was too late I was already in love, I wanted, I needed, I had to stay for helping my team to save the club from Premier League relegation because it meant the world for me.

 

Of course during those dark days some may have had their doubts, but I always believed in this club and look where we are today, it's just so beautiful. I'm leaving Newcastle as it should always have been and that's my greatest trophy because I was a part of it.

 

A deep thank you to ALL of you, my team mates, the loyal fans, the staff, the Club, etc… I’ve seen all your messages, thank you and even though this chapter has ended, the story never stops. Newcastle is home now, I'll continue to be your biggest supporter, I'll watch every game and as long as the club keeps winning I'll be the happiest man in the world… and for sure you will see me again I love you,

 

I love you sincerely, I love you like a Geordie brother. Once a Geordie, always a Geordie."

Here is your new club lads.

 

 

We are overreacting? 

 

You're going on as if Messi is leaving the club.  Others too. He played 3 half decent games a season. He was a workshy soft cunt. 

[Diego21 2168]

A player with outstanding qualities. He was too good for us on our worst days, but maybe he was missing something to fit in now that we have better days. Damn injuries didn't help him adapt too much in this year and a half.

 

Anyway, all this doesn't matter to me. A special boy is leaving. And I'm not going to talk about football now. Maybe I do it because I'm a tribune/popular with the fans, but I insist, I don't care.

 

From the first day he seemed in love with the city, with the community, with the club. He seemed involved with growing this team that was dead under Ashley's clutches. He never had a bad gesture, he always seemed kind to the fans, affectionate and careful with all the details of the club. A boy who seemed nice and was key to the good group in the squad.

 

And his farewell message couldn't be better.

At least I'm going to miss him a lot.

[Chaser 1393]

Nah sorry Wykiki, he was outstanding at times, frustrating at others. He gave hope when we were absolutely shit and he was entertaining when everyone else was Bruced. He clearly loved being the big fish in the little pond but then the pond got bigger. Wish him well wherever he goes. 

[Alex 37242]

Whatever we, as fans, think of him, there’s absolutely no way he’d be leaving for £30m if Howe really wanted to keep him (as opposed to just saying all right things about him).

He's worth more than $30m without a doubt. Ornstein said it was $ not €

I don't get the dislike for him. We always got the authentic ASM, the good with the bad. Like I said earlier he really did try to adapt his game under Howe, but some of his fragility remained and there was a lack of clarity around his physical fitness as well with an injury cloud always hanging around. I do believe he loved the club and the supporters just not quite as much as he loved himself. I wish him well.

I was just trying to get a rise tbh. 
 

I wish him well, I agree with Isegrims posts from earlier.

I'm a cynical old crapper, but that statement has actually got to me a bit.

Agreed. We can disagree about his value on the pitch but the consensus seems to be he was a good lad off it. He was good value on social media foo, interacting with fans, taking the piss out of mackems etc.

 

I’m sorry he’s leaving. I would have liked to see what he would have offered in the champions league 

[Alex 37242]

Similar to what I was saying earlier, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being sentimental as a fan. If you’re not you’re probably not much of a football fan. Good managers are ruthless though. I do think there’s other factors like FFP, for example. And I think it’s probably the case we got less than we might have just to avoid further scrutiny/hassle. But it’s also a position where we are well stocked and ASM is probably the least ‘Howe type of player’ we had in terms of wingers. 

[Isegrim 10613]

I am still angry that he didn’t include the penicopter in his farewell video though.

[Isegrim 10613]

 

[Rayvin 6103]

Absolutely wish him well. That departure statement seemed really sincere and in my eyes he's a true friend of the club and was a bright spark in the dark times. Good luck ASM.

With patter like his he'll never get a job on BT, any NUFC link must include bitterness.

massive respect tp him for those words. The only shining light we had times under Bruce. Wish him all the best.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, its real isnt it, its fucking real. 

 

Was in woolies when I first saw that post, fell down to my knees in the middle of the aisle, didnt want to believe it, been drinking every since. 

 

This is some serious bullshit, complete bullshit.

 

Selling our best player for pennies, THE GOAT. a complete betrayal.

 

80mil plus spend on LWs on inferior players, a headless chook and bumbling barnes. fmd. This is a WAR CRIME.

 

It feels like a nightmare come true and the emotions have been overwhelming, it's hard to shake off the feeling of despair.

 

Saint-Maximin wasn't just any player, he was the heartbeat of our team. Whenever he had the ball, MAGIC happened. He could take on multiple defenders, create opportunities out of thin air, and score breathtaking goals that left us all in awe. 

 

Keep watching video after video of ASM with tears in my eyes even now, fuck. a bittersweet reminder of the joy he brought us and the immense void his absence leaves behind. a source of comfort and torment. 

 

His time with the club will always be etched in my memories. I'll cherish the moments of joy and brilliance he brought to the pitch, and he will forever be a hero in my heart. 

 

His legacy will endure, I WILL MAKE SURE OF IT. I'll wear his shirt with pride and share his stories with future generations of fans.

 

and for anyone who thought I was leaving just because ASM has left, needs to find the nearest mirror, look deep into your own eyes and say "im a complete Muppet".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.FUCK.

 

You forgot this one.....

 

 

 

 

Please, no need for thanks at this difficult time. 

 

 

[Diego21 2168]

@LongTimeAdmirer

 

 

We will get some ASM replica shirt from DhGate to his new team in SA. 

 

You can be sure.
