Anyone know what’s happening with the transfer for that Southampton lad? Can’t we just buy Chiesa instead with that money?
Can't we just tell Juve that Al-Hilal want Fraser, Hendrick & Hayden for a combined value of £100m, but instead we are prepared to do swap deal with ALL THREE of them just for Chiesa - and that they would therefore be completely mad to refuse such a favourable offer.
Yes. Except when he's not injured. And then he scores/creates more goals than any out of Almiron, Willock, Joelinton, Gordon and Murphy. But he's both always injured and then crap when he plays.
Tbh max was injured all the time ... even on the pitch he was consistently bandaged up, limping around and wincing while holding various parts of his limbs.
Agree. But equally based on that fact, his goal contribution is actually more impressive than a lot of people give him credit for. If he's always either out injured, or playing while carrying injury and still outscores/assists Big Joe, Little Joe, Gordon, Muphy and even Miggy, then he can't be that bad.
You were the one who compared him to Murphy earlier. That's the very reason I'm pointing this out. He can't be out all the time AND ****, yet still be better for goal contributions than everyone in the squad bar our centre forwards.
Anyway, I'm happy if we get Barnes as an upgrade, I just don't think Maxi deserves the slating he gets from some. For quite a while he was our only real outlet going forward. We've moved on from relying on the one man attack on the break, so good luck to him. But I thank him and wish him all the best.
