Aasgard- why the fuss?
Posted by Cuba on 3/6/2025, 18:38:54
Maybe been spoilt on our quality midfielders of years gone by but why the fuss over a midfielder who was hardly pulling up trees for lower midtable Wigan at the start of the year.
Yes he had a few good games but he went missing in others.
I would suggest the club could and will do better whether he goes or not but he really isn’t that good and as I have said many times extremely and obviously one footed.
For me our best signing since Barkley is Makosso, two footed, strong and with pace to burn. I’d be more concerned with him leaving tbh.

If you're so knowledgeable about football players, how come you're not being head-hunted by all 91 of the other clubs?
With the right set up and team around him he'd absolutely tear league one apart. I agree on the point about Christ, he'll make league one look like a Stroll.
You don't mind if he goes and doesn't take part in our League One campaign but you think we should be able to get decent money for him from a Championship or above club?
Fairy snuff. I see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's contradictory.
In my view, a player can be decent, show potential, yet not be indispensable while still having market value. Aasgard has shown flashes of quality, and if a Championship club sees something they can develop, there's value in that.
TBH, my overall view is that wouldn’t be gutted if he left, but I also wouldn’t want us giving him away for peanuts. I think he's a decent player but if he wants out, fuck him.
If we get decent money for Aasgaard then the questioner wouldn't mind him going, but he would if we didn't get decent money for him
Tbh I feel the same. If we got our money back plus a million I'd be fine with him leaving, as much as I think he's a good player. I wouldn't be happy if we sold him for metaphorical peanuts
He is decent but if we got a couple mill more than we paid for him then imo good business.
We are in the strongest position we have ever been in league 1 financially so don’t need to sell.We sell if it’s right for LTFC….not for any other reason.
Yes we can atm because financially secure.We don’t need to sell to balance the books….when we were competing in the Prem we couldn’t get players because wealthier clubs don’t need to sell.
If we sell I would expect it to be considerably more than we paid for him. As someone mentioned before we were odds on favourites to go down when he joined so he must have known it was a distinct possibility.
If an offer comes in that is acceptable to the club then he leaves …I assume we want him so that would be need to be considerably more than we paid for him. He of course may have some release clause in his contract.
So, you don't rate him particularly and don't think he impressed that much, we've gone down a division, he may want out and may not be up for a League One fight but you still think we should get a lot more than we paid for him.
You said you wouldn't be fussed if he leaves, ergo he might be as much as a decent player but nothing special.
We reportedly paid a pretty high fee for him when we bought him as a League One player.
If he hasn't impressed you that much you can't expect anyone else to pay much more than that and *if* he wants to leave then I don't think you can assume it will be possible to get that much more for him from our perspective.
It's clearer and different but let's see what happens.
If we recoup what we bought him for you're going to be "livid" though apparently. I'm asking, given that you're not particularly fussed about him leaving, where that increase in value to "considerably more than we paid for him" comes from. We bought him in a January window when we were desperate so I very much doubt he was cheap in the first place.
"I wouldn’t be bothered if he left but on,by if it’s for more than we paid for him…is that clearer…"
So, you wouldn't be happy if we only recouped the money and previously you also said we should sell him for considerably more. It seems your post wasn't clear to you . . .
If he were that bad a player he wouldn't be getting picked for his country. He is an excellent player and another who probably asked himself why the hell he came here.
Maybe they were promised hjm too much. Maybe the aggressive window didn't look too good from his end?'LTFC will be having an aggressive replica kit window in January'
I am surprised to hear you say that because our track record recently has been very poor as you well know so I would not be sure at all we would not just replace him with Baptiste Mark 2
3 times last season live, Probably that again on TV games He is decent, we were supposedly interested ourselves this time last year Suspect Spurs will need for their Champions league squad He is the type of player we should be aiming at
I suspect Donley will stay at Spurs as they will need a bigger squad now etc and homegrown players for European competition.
My inference was clearly intending to mean we should be looking for players similar to Donley to take on loan. I very much doubt he is available or would want another season in League 1.
As similar position loan was Cameron Humphreys who Bloomfield signed on a seasons long loan from Ipswich. He was outstanding for Wycombe, so he could be a target as a permanent signing unless Ipswich plan to have in their squad.
If you understand something from something some else implies then it's an 'inference'.
For example, I always 'infer' that someone is using words that they don't understand in order to appear more clever than they actually are when they misuse 'infer' or 'inference' as synonyms for 'imply' or 'implication' and treat the rest of the stupid shit they spout with commensurate respect.
I disagree, I think he is quality, and will keep improving.
He will be a player we look back on wishing he had stayed.
Your track record on the quality of players isn't good, you thought Joe Taylor was the saviour. What kind of fool would follow signs that were never there.
It is and you constantly make yourself look a total arse. Raving on about prem loanees that you've never seen but writing off a top class player because he's one footed.
Last season you raved on about a number of young Prem players we should have loaned in. A few did go out on loan and were absolutely shit. The Liverpool lad who went on loan to Stoke is a good example, you nearly wet your pants about him last Summer.
If you don't rate Aasgaard and thought Taylor would keep us up, when he couldn't get a place in the Huddersfield you have no credibility. What kind of fool would follow signs that were never there.
There was a poster a few years ago demanding we sign Luke Jephcott from Plymouth for mega money - he's now plying his trade with Truro. Not saying it was definitely Cuba, but very much the same M.O.
Yep, but Makosso will be off too when the club inevitably receives a half-decent offer from a higher league club. His head will be turned. No point in keeping players that don’t want to be here. It’s a poison that has to be dealt with. We have to learn the lesson from last season, with Mengi being a prime example. It will probably mean rebuilding large parts of the squad, which needs major surgery anyway, but it will be better in the long run.
