As many have said before, wingers generally are inconsistent. But the lad seemed to get stuck in and battle unlike others we’ve been linked with who flop to the ground and pout. All this based on the 1-2 times he played us though! StevO and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Newcastle would want about £70m just to consider it. He’s their best player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Whilst St Maximin is undoubtedly got some talent he would be a nightmare to play with. He just does his own thing and if it works then great but most of the time it doesn't. He reminds me of Bolasie if I am honest, more concerned about his tricks than doing what is required for the team. pete0 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Think we sold him for £2m. Not too bad seeing as he was rumored to go for £10m to AC milan in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Makes business sense - £2m after his release clause for a player AC Milan were ready to pay £10m (which we would have received a percentage of) for in January - he’d have a good sell-on regardless. Maybe he’s ready to put a bit of pressure on Digne - we’ll need another left-back option (guessing the young French lad will be going out on loan or in the u23s).

Bailey Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Whenever I have seen him he has looked like a Championship player. If Digne gets injured and he is back up I would be very concerned. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose with Baines out of the picture now, he’ll at least feel he’s ‘next in line’. He’d probably be back-up to Stevens initially at Sheff Utd and Bryan at Fulham - obviously neither are anywhere near the quality of Digne.

The main point I was making is that he won’t play here. It would be stupid of him to go from playing every week to coming here and doing fuck all, because he is never in a million years getting in ahead of Digne. If he’s intelligent he’ll steer clear of our interest. For the sake of his progression I hope he does as well. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 This isn't a rumour for us as such but Butland is apparently available for around £8-10million. When he was in the premiership I thought he was in the quite big group of non elite keepers but also not terrible. I'm not sure how he has done since his injury for Stoke however I am guessing not too great but its quite clear he hasn't wanted to leave for a while. If a new challenge perks him up that fee will double. Would anyone take him to play 2nd string to Pickford with the realistic chance that Pickford might continue to fuck things up?

Before he moved to Stoke I would have taken Birmingham's arm off for him but not now. He was actually dropped for a spell after some horrendous mistakes and whereas he's earned his place back, the fact that nobody has taken a punt on him (even in the Championship) shows that he has very much found his level. He could have been so much more, so it's a shame really but signing Butland would only be a continuation of the problem we have now - Pickford is bulletproof as there's nobody to replace him. If we sign a goalkeeper, it needs to be someone at first-time level to at least replace Jordan when his form dips, IMO we should be looking on the continent.

I don't get the logic at all. I admit I haven't seen a lot of him over the last couple of seasons and that as Zoo says is probably for a reason. He was England #1 ahead of Pickford until he got injured and now he has seemingly disappeared into the wilderness. I just saw his name crop up somewhere along with his price and thought it raised my brow. He seems desperate to leave Stoke (dont blame him) so it will be interesting to see where he goes and how he fares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 We need to give Tom a season with Carlo and in a better midfield to see him improve and assess if he’s worth keeping, it’s too soon to do that now.
