Alex 36695 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Think the biggest issue is lack of appearances and the time it takes him to get back up to speed. That and FFP and the timing being right with a bid coming in. Last season he might’ve just been unlucky I suppose but you get the impression that hamstring injuries could be an ongoing issue. I do think he tried to adapt under Howe but it probably stifles his game. I’m not that arsed though because he really isn’t and never was all that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-3 game against Man City comes to mind, but there were others too where he terrorised defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 7564 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Mbpappe is proper screwing over PSG here. Its going to be interesting to see how this develops cos I think they'll bench him for season unless he extends his contract or leaves. But if Madrid are waiting on a free then he isn't going to go anywhere else and rot for a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 33151 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Why the hell are they bidding £300m surely with one year on his contract PSG would accept less than half that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 36530 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 1 hour ago, The Fish said: I want to be clear, I like ASM, I've loved watching him play in Black and White, I've loved him taking the piss on the pitch and twitter and all that. But he's just the most saleable, least integral player in the squad. My issue has been the fetishisation of him. He's mint, but he's not the fucking Messiah. He'll give me as much joy with his goals and step-overs on some BEin highlight show, and those will be as integral to our season as they were when he was here under Howe. Give it 3 or 4 seasons and we might buy another player with his talent, who'll dance around opponents, and twist defenders' blood, but then also do the rest of the work too. Thanks for making that clear, Dave. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Apparently a number of Championship clubs are interested in taking Kuol on loan. If we can get him some regular game time in the Championship that would obviously be a massive step up, from whatever was going on at Hearts.

Hearts was all about getting him over here and settled/acclimatised as they had Aussie teammates of his. This year he'll play somewhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young English international I suppose. Of course, wanting and getting is another matter. I suppose West Ham have plenty floating about to waste.

Because for them, buying for 150 or 300M is like one day I am deciding between buying a loaf of bread or two. And the best part is that according some media, Al Hilal let him go free to Real Madrid in 2024. Edited July 25, 2023 by Diego21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 It's very likely West Ham are going to largely waste that Rice money. Every other club knows they have it burning a hole in their pocket. 35m for Gallagher would be fair in my mind. He might go on to be consistent enough to warrant a higher fee, but there's enough uncertainty to keep the price lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
