Is Max Aarons already gone?

Very much seems like one of our transfers given it would be free and all (what else did you expect?) but this would seem to hint at Aarons going. There I was hoping Mumba would make the step up to be our new number one right back given how he's always looked class whenever he has played, but then again given Byrams record I'm sure bringing in another right back for free might be a decent idea I suppose

Aarons going would be good for both parties providing we get a good price for him 😬

[Mello Yello 2,289]

Is Todd his chauffeur?....

[Walcombe canary 69]

Aarons going will only be good, IF we invest the vast amount paid for Max, very wisely.

Agreed but do you trust Webber and his recruitment team with the money because i certainly don't ?

[TheGunnShow 5,940]

Doesn't say much for Mumba and Byram then. That said, Mumba is a genuine wildcard in that guessing where he's going to end up position-wise is a lottery. We do need a bit more height and strength across the board, so a six-foot full back will be useful.

Also, if we do get this chap in, it's a Bosman. However I'd be red-flagging the fact he fell out of favour after Barnsley got promoted and had their excellent season under Ismael. If he'd been a regular part of that team, I would have been more enthusiastic, although I'm always impressed with the idea of selling a good player for good money and getting someone of similar ability in on a free or for far less. We've got form for doing that at full-back with Jamal Lewis and Dimitris Giannoulis.

Dimitri Cavare  does seem to be much more of a static rightback rather than the 'fullback speeding up the wings' type we try and play with,which is rather interesting. Maybe a hint at a change of tactics prehaps?

Aarons is off to Atletico to replace Kieran Trippier.

Or really frees up Giannoulis as a more static right-back means we're practically playing three at the back and Giannoulis can push on with a bit more abandon, especially if we finally get a Tettey replacement. Or finally let Sörensen play there.

I think Aaron’s and Cantwell have been sold already. Hence absent.

The hope is that he listens to what Smith needs, i guess?

Webber believed in his own ability to uncover gems at cut price and has had quite a slap in the face, my concern now is that if he changes tack and aims for more proven quality that its a much harder task to bring someone in with our current predicament.

Smith feels the squad is bloated already so very tough situation.

Let's hope so, we can do without them

According to Transfermarkt he can also play left back and right midfield, and at 6ft 1 could be a stand in CB as well 😉

We had all this before with Amadou. From memory, the boy was played only once in his 'proper' position and that was for 45 minutes at Southampton whereupon Lord Farke had seen enough and withdrew him. Quality recruitment back in 2019 it seems.

I want a 'right back' who is a real 'right back'. Forget all this drivel about ..........'can also play here and by the way can also play there'. Invariably such players end up being 'Jacks' and not 'Masters' of their trade. Will we ever learn!!!

Agree that a more traditional right-back would be a nice tool to have with our squad at this point in time, but at the same time, focusing on versatility also meant we ended up with Sörensen and Mumba. Both have produced excellent performances in positions they weren't really expected to as they have a more wide-ranging set of fundamentals.

That makes sense, have you seen something or assuming?

[Jersey Canary 143]

Byram is a great RB if we can keep him fit. 

[Green Canary 21]

Folk here seem happy with Aarons going. Wow, that is staggering.

 

 

[mastoola 183]

Same conversation that happens every transfer window     Go figure?

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,431]

I may be missing something . This player did ok in league 1 . “Fell out of favour” at Barnsley , got sold to a Swiss club. And now someone thinks he would be good enough for a prem side ? 
 

I doubt it .

Not really. He's not pulled up any trees for the last 18 months. He had a £30 million price tag not so long ago, we'd be lucky to get half that now. With Byram and Mumba, £15 million to spend on a decent midfielder would still represent a good move.

Aarons, cantwell, pukki, plus loan players gone. We are left with unproven kids and journeymen. It will be a long time coming back, enjoy this season, because it’s back to NCFC of the nineties. X

Aarons value regresses week by week.

To the point we might aswell keep him.

Players come, players go. 

What matters is whether we need Aarons which I don't see any evidence that we do. He's a good player and it's been a pleasure to watch him at times, but he isn't adding a lot to the side because we simply cannot get the best out of him. 

Better for him and for us that he goes to a club that can. Whilst we have to pray that Webber has a stroke of genius and finds us two players who can save our season.

I realise I will get dogs abuse,but I really have never really thought Aarons is as good as the majority on here believe.There,said it.

Selling Aarons is only chance of having a transfer budget.

I don’t think it’s possible to enjoy this season. With all due respect, it is xxxx.

Max had been so patient waiting to move on. Model professional who deserves any luck coming. 

[FenwayFrank 2,459]

Has it crossed anyone’s mind that Max may have asked to leave ?
