Ok, now I'm worried, the idea of Maxi and Meireles being replaced by Adam and Downing is genuinely scary.
I thought ye saw Maxi as a non entity Ryan? No stirring just curious if you've warmed to him lately or something?
I like Maxi, but only in a pass and move environment. He's no good plodding away on the left in a dire game against Stoke but he'll flourish playing alongside Suarez, Raul, Gerrard and Kuyt who constantly move into positions to accept a pass.

I think maxi flatters to decieve. all well and good getting those two hattricks when the season is winding down and The Lying Rag is shining but where the fuck was he when we had our usual annual slump? would rather have someone who consistently contributes even during a tough spell (for the club) than someone who has the odd purple patch that skews his stats to make him look better than he actually is.
If Maxi IS on 100k a week, those 2 hat-tricks cost 5.5mil each coz he's done fuck all else apart from them for 2 years.
He is on £100k a week as he was a free transfer, that's the way it works.
He is not a left winger , but was played there as no one else was either and our other right sided mf / hole player who got stuck on the left and was no good there , Yossi, got fed up and went.
I would be inclined to try and persuade him to stay the year too, we want to build up the squad.

When we were playing some lovely stuff at the end of last year it was because Meireles, MAxi, Suarez and Kuyt were all linking up so well because they're all smart players.

Yep, i've said the same about Maxi many many times. He lacks the unique attributes (pace & power) but links well with others and is a fine complimentary player. Hope he stays one more year.

I think towards the end of last season he had a really good patch,a nd he can play a bit also ( every bit as much as any of the players we´ve been linked to so far this summer...) but if he is 31 and on 5M a year in wages and wants to go then good luck to him.

Why would we have the pleasure in paying off Maxi to leave when its he who wants out ? If he's looking any sort of pay off keep him until his contract runs out.

In this case, paying off as in to 'make up' for the drop in wage he'll take for a move back to Argentina. Say his remaining contract with us is 5m, then a pay of 2m will allow us to save 3m and him to accept a much lower wage offer from other teams. Jovanovic's apparently looking for something like that.

But the question is can we get a similar player in the squad for the remaining 3m?
I reckon it's impossible, so it'll cost us to get rid and then to replace. Given we have other priorities for transfer funds, keeping him for the year and letting him walk next year seems the most sensible option

That's indeed a consideration but I guess depending on our summer signings, his place could well be taken by a youth player (Suso/Sterling/Pacheco etc.)? In short though, we shouldn't really be expecting any transfer fees, should Maxi leave/be allowed to.

He is on £100k a week as he was a free transfer, that's the way it works.

Ehm... don't free transfer signings get hefty signing on fees?

Fucking Joe Cole got nigh on £5m didn't he? He should be getting the brunt of the lynch mob.
£5m + £100k a week. Jesus christ. I Wish we'd just kept Benny and Riera!

Wiki may be wrong of course.
As regards a signing on fee, there could well be an element to that , but any fee and incentivised wages would normally be well below the market value.
