tsj1999 19 Posted May 28, 2023 We all know max aarons is definitely leaving this summer but who do we want to see as his replacement as rb? i have a few in mind max johnston - been linked and would be a good option. young and talented player so could be an option? jack stacey - good player and available on a free. no links yet ryan manning - i know he is more of a lb but you put mumba at rb and your sorted let me know your thoughts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazzaJet 252 Posted May 28, 2023 Johnston has been linked with some PL clubs as well, so I don’t think we’ll sign him. Wouldn’t say no to Stacey or Manning as they’re experienced players so should fill in the departure of Aarons and also let us sell Giannoulis, who only has one year left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sell him. One year left and can’t see him signing a new contract.

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) I love how everyone decides Max, who has been one of our best players for years now is off. It's like that utter moron Sam seaman who wrote an article about selling the entire back line. Where do you idiots think the replacements are coming from?? Narnia? Sometimes our fan base is as bad as the ones we laugh at like Leeds etc. Edited May 29, 2023 by Nexus_Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daz Sparks 1,152 Posted May 29, 2023 Max flourished under Daniel Farke and played his best football. Smith couldn't get a tune out of him, and Wagner hasn't, bar his first few games. I will miss the Aarons that was the Farke version, but not so much the later one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,226 Posted May 29, 2023 We have to balance allowing him to leave at a reduced fee compared to what we could have got for him, against the cost of signing a better replacement. If we feel there are viable alternatives available on a free then surely other clubs will be looking at them too? I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is still here next season.

shefcanary 2,394 Posted May 30, 2023 Stu's "bullying" of Aarons into upping sticks seems to have worked given the article on the Athletic this morning. Interesting it was written by an Athletic staffer rather than Bailey as well. Max Aarons is at a career crossroads: ‘There’s a right time to move on in everything’ - The Athletic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging on how Omobamidele has been talked about by Webber I suspect he'll stay and be partnered with Duffy/Gibson. I assume Webber / Wagner will want to keep the core of team.
