Maxi wants to leave

[Charly]

If he wants to go, get rid!

He is virtually useless out on the wings, and I cant see where there will be a place centrally where he is able to make a real mark with is movement and skill.

AT least if he does go, we can look back fondly on the last few months, rather than the early waste under Benitez and Bodgeson.

Good passer of the ball, makes intelligent runs and is comfortable in possession. I would like to keep him as a squad player, we need some "old heads" in our team.

maybe he saw the blue kit before us lot!

[CJ]

or perhaps he doesnt think he is part of the bright new future and is happy to move on.

nothing wrong in that really

[magicalbarnes]

What wages is he on? Anything above £70k p/w and it would be worth selling.

40k

I'd like us to keep him because he's done well since Kenny came in, having said that I imagine he would be a squad player for the most.

[Skrtelmania]

If he does go who'll take care of Auguero in his first couple of months?

All joking aside, he does seem like a popular player in the squad and a good person to have about the team. I personally think the story is complete balls, or maybe he was misquoted and said he’d like to return one day. Before Kenny took over, we had 12 hard months and Maxi still seemed happy here. I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t give it at least another 12 months to see how things pan out now that the club is going in the right direction.

Apparently the paper he "gave those comments to" is an absolute rag over there and is to be taken about as seriously as, er, the rag over here. Or maybe caughtoffside.com.

Be pretty ****ing stupid selling one of our few technically proficient, intelligent footballers. He was made to play in a pass and move team and is great squad material.

Or maybe we should just sell him and bring in that young English lad from Doncaster Rovers for £14.5m.

You hide your sarcasm very well, I'll give you that.

If he hadn't scored those few goals in the last 2 months of the season, I reckon a good 99% of fans (the non-myopic ones) would have him on their list of worst players to ever wear the red shirt. And quite rightly so.
IF he does want to go, at least we might get a few pound as any interested teams will want to know about his most recent performances. That said, the amount we spend on players is almost as farcical as the tiny sums we generally receive so anything could happen.

quite a few non myopic fans rated him before the goals

My God, this place is wild at the minute, I seriously can't believe the sheer amount of crap that is polluting every thread.

Can you explain the bid in bold by chance, I want to decipher if I am a 'myopic fan' or not or just one that doesn't need goals or Sky Sports to tell me if a player is good or not?

[CJ]

not sure if i am myopic or non myopic. i think the point still stands

he has his faults but he has his good points there have been plenty worse to wear the shirt in my opinion.

i can understand us selling him though as well.
