Isegrim 9676 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 He should have left in a helicopter tbh He was the little spark in the dark times. I will miss him, but the transfer does unfortunately make a lot sense. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A serious talent but unfortunately not a great fit in our current team and the funds can be better used improving the team. Have to say I did appreciate that he tried hard to adapt his game under Howe and did become a better distributor as a result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeAdmirer 1235 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hasn't happened, ASM is still a newcastle player. The way some of you are talking about a Newcastle player, not sure if youre actually fans of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21756 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Feel like I was more of a fan of ASM than most people on this board. In terms of natural skill on the ball, and the ability to go past defenders, he’s up there with the best I’ve ever seen for Newcastle. Just a shame that he never really figured out the other stuff. He should be a world class winger but I suspect he’ll go down as one of those naturally gifted flair players who never quite fulfil their potential. I wish him the best though. It never felt like he wanted to leave. He seemed to love the town and club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobElliott 1453 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Aye he was entertaining and got us out of a hole during bruceball but will be one of a line of mercurial French players we have had over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6451 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Him and Wilson probably saved from us from certain relegation for a year or 2 so I wish him all the best. I think everyone who has seen him play rate him, its just he is very inconsistent and when its not his day he does't muck in with any of the dirty of work. He also looks like a fish out of water in Howes team/press. I wish him all the best. I feel like he is being cornered into going to Saudi but im sure he'll be set for life.

The Fish 10659 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34717 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 6451 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 30159 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...
