You are so clueless.

 

Highest Assists per 90

Highest GCA per 90

Highest SCA per 90

 

Don't even need to bring up his ball carrying skills, they're undeniable. 

 

Just say you dislike the GOAT and want him gone, stop lying about his football. 

 

Oh thats genius, do you have Howe's number, please call him and tell him you've figured ASM out. All we have to do is play him for about 270 minutes a season where he can get his usual 2 goals and 1 assist for the year.

he could have thanked him for his service and said he goes with our best wishes without sounding quite so disappointed. He is the consummate pro but he doesn’t sound thrilled, or perhaps it’s the pace of our transfer business that is annoying him 

I think that’s reading a bit into it. ASM is a popular player among fans so Howe is just trying to be pleasant, it’s not like Howe used him like an integral player throughout his management of us which is more telling to me than him being positive in response to a question

Andrew is probably meaning Twitter and other areas, a lot of fans are so over the top about a player who puts out extremely average numbers in terms of actual impactful output. His dribbling is obviously very good which catches the eye but his goals and assists numbers are poor, I think 10 combined is his best season for us. The level of discussion about him far outweighs his actual contribution to the team, which is why I agree with Andrew’s post. For example he is often credited with keeping us up over the Bruce years, the reality is it was Willock, Wilson, and arguably Shelvey when you look at the goals, assists and the games they come in, he was no doubt the most exciting player but as others said that was a time we had no plan and his mazy runs that went nowhere had potential, now they’re just fucking frustrating because we have an actual approach to creating and scoring goals and many of those runs to nowhere just turn the ball over. 
 

I’ll remember him fondly as he really was the player that caught your eye for a few years but it’s time for him and the club to move on. We could basically go out and get Barnes, Goretzka, and Livramento for the fee under FFP. 

 

Nailed it.

 

Other than 3-4 magical moments in a season most of the time you've watch him its shouting in frustration and wondering if he'll ever get a proper footballing brain. People going about on Twitter as if we've sold Messi in his prime are absolute numpties.

saying he’d be delighted if the deal doesn’t go through is quite the pleasantry

Youre just making up numbers. 

Thanks for reminding me again how clueless you are though:lol::lol:

I think the reaction from Howe is spot on. You can really argue about the merits of ASM leaving, so it’s quite sensible not to piss off the player in case the transfer actually isn’t going through but on the same hand appeasing the fan bois that a sale is down to financial needs and take the flack off a replacement.

Eddie Howe is the consummate professional and a nice bloke, who's saying the right thing about a bloke that has been a good servant to the club.

 

That's all that's going on there.


Aye, what's he meant to say? "He's shite and I can't wait for him to fuck off"

It’s an easy thing to say, on the flip side behind the scenes he’s clearly fine with selling him given he works very closely with Ashworth to the point where generally it’s only him, Ashworth, and Nickson in meetings making decisions on players. Not sure why you think he’s going to be so devastated to lose ASM tbh, the reality is he may have kept him as a squad player but he’s able to get a few players he really wants in exchange for losing him and is answering the question posed to him in a nice way that appeases the idiots among our support that overhype a painfully average player and plays into the players ego in case the sale doesn’t go through.

Spot on, we’ve already seen on here how ASM fan boys go after Gordon as they see him as some threat to their idol. Plus on Twitter the negativity towards Barnes is fucking rampant by ASM profile pics, thankfully it doesn’t seem to have put Barnes off.

Is that not just LTA? Where are these ASM fanboys you speak of? I’m not following any of them if they are out there

Threat?

 

I said the headless chook was useless when he was getting linked to chelsea for 60 mil before our name was ever mentioned. 

I said he was useless when he came here.

And he's still useless now. 

 

45 mil wasted.

I think it sounds like he would like to keep ASM while adding to the squad but accepts we need to sell before we can buy and that ASM is one of the few we can get some good cash for. If he had his way it sounds like he would prefer to keep him

I have a relative that’s a scout at the club, so I don’t need to have heard direct from Eddie. So shut your pipe you fucking idiot.

Agree to disagree I suppose. I think Howe is a lot more ruthless than he’s given credit for which is why I read it the way I do.

:lol: Believe me or not I’m not arsed, I’ve never claimed to be ITK and as I mention in that post there’s 3 people that make all the decisions now and even the scouts are kept in the dark. I’m pretty sure Hope at one point even wrote an article about it, it’s why transfer gossip around Newcastle has become very inaccurate. 
 

But sure cling to thinking Eddie Howe is fucking devastated about a player with 6 goal involvements and who last scored a PL goal 11 months ago being sold without him knowing anything.
