Who is going to defend Allan Saint-Maximin

[5under1and]

The sooner we sell him the better
Other teams know how to stop him
He is lazy and needs to lookup and find a teammate not just run aimlessly about until someone takes the ball off him and then fall over and looks for a free kick

[Alberts__Lob]

I really don't mind if we sell him. He hasn't got enough end product for me

He's served us well and scored some important goals to keep us in the Prem but if we get a decent offer i think we should take it

[coastferret]

A few better players around him we`d see another level, I`d hate to see him go, we lost a few like that inc. gazza, mikel, ben arta etc. not like we need the money is it?-

[toonviking]

If I was hes agent, I would try to get him to Italy or Spain. Hes not made for PL.

[Zippity]

He wouldn't be a starter in a top team but, then, we're not a top team.

I'd like to see what Howe could do with him after a full pre-season and with better players around him.

[toptoon]

Depends on what his mind is. If he realises he needs to make some changes and is prepared to work hard to make them, then he is very much a rough diamond and we should keep him.
If not, then there is no space for him in our squad.

[trinitoon]

I'll defend him.

Every squad needs an inventive player that is going to take people on.

Things are not happening for him for a while now and I fully agree with benching him but not selling him. If he is shocking between Aug and Dec, I'll concur that he should be sold in Jan. But for now, keep faith in the player and Edward Howe, esq to turn him round.

Agreed.

I feel it would be a shame to sell him now, give him another season, or half to see what he can do with better players around him.

I agree, but I think the lad is almost burnt out. He's been depended upon week in and week out to perform miracles and sometimes carry the team. This began long before E.H. arrived and since then granted it's been a bit easier for him because others have come more into it and began pulling their weight. But the onus has been mostly on him to perform in an extra special manner.

Aye, exactly, Pat. Him and Wilson have carried the team for two years-and, as Trini says, he gives us something nobody else in the team can.

Obviously he has to change next season but, he's clearly got the skills and, in Howe, he's got a manager who can get the best out of him so he can do it. And if he does, we'll have some bloody player on our hands.
