Howay 12496 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Isegrim said: 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. 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.

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. 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Howe is a lot more ruthless than he’s given credit for which is why I read it the way I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) 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.

More natural talent maybe, but I don't see how you can say he's a better player if you also admit Barnes is far more consistent. A better play contributes to the team consistently over a season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs loses any goodwill with the player in that situation, why would he move to the club you want him too? Can just run down your contract or dig your heels in to force the club to accept a lower fee to a location he wants instead of being forced to head of to the middle east. Dont want to hear tears about loyalty/mercs from you when teams come in for Bruno later on. Anyway, maxi not going anywhere.

Isegrim 10327 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 The best left back of the ladt 15 years ( Lahm) was right footed. Even as a purist I am open to just play the right player there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 23600 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Inverted left winger and an inverted left back would be quirky. Usually it’s one or the other Edited July 20, 2023 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36695 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) We might still sign a starting left back even if this deal does happen. Ashby was cheap, is unproven and may well have been one to primarily improve the second string. Krafth has had a bad injury and is limited, even if he looked really good under Howe the season before last when Tripps was injured. Manquillo has been a decent servant but lacks the quality needed now. Trippier can’t play every match. Makes sense from a cover and a versatility pov. I appreciate it’s hard to get our heads round the club building a decent squad like. I’m certainly not used to it Edited July 20, 2023 by Alex 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
