Chaser 1174 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 £40m for ASM is a realistic transfer for any club. If the Saudis were willing to break transfer records for him it would be stinking but given what they've already paid for players in the twilight of their careers I'd be actually telling them to fuck off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6177 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I joked about Hayden and Hendrick in an earlier post but they'd improve the Saudi league massively and would be on buttons compared to eg Jordan Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6815 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 This rumour stemmed from a Saudi website btw. Every fucker is reporting it now but it's highly likely to be made up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9577 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Luk as-Ramsa-u-Er was probably first to break the story. Just after reporting about LIV approved golf courses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASM can start games and change games so, given how thin the squad is and the fact we clearly are still being very careful with transfers, I'd sooner we keep him. However, this is the summer that these Saudi clubs are going mental, so maybe we just have to take advantage of a set of circumstances that might only be fleeting. Good luck if he goes, he's gonna be fucking minted for life. This is an unacceptable about face from you. You gave me endless shit because of my defence of Robert, Ben Arfa and ASM. Derided as a romantic, mocked as a lover of all things fancy, but now I've accepted that what is best for the club and the player is a change, you're wanting him to stay?! Outrageous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, this is pragmatism. It's not the foolish romanticism thst we used to get from you. You better learn to tell the difference and you better learn QUICK!

ewerk 29419 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Look at it this way, if ASM played for another club then would Eddie Howe be interested in signing him? No chance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pragmatic position is; Sell ASM for c£40m, use that to bring in players who're more aligned to Eddies way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2822 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Definitely a saleable asset. And add that his sale goes against the wishes of the board's biggest pain in the ass. And LTA likes him too. What's not to like? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
