We posted something similar at the same time. I agree, he's obviously very good but for me, wouldn't even make my top 20. Then again I have a preference for artistic, truly creative players of yesteryear, rather than these video-game-fast types of the modern game.

I mean he's one of the best players in the world currently, I get that. I don't find him particularly likeable but whatever. Is he really that good though? I don't even think he cracks my historical top 20 personally, very subjective though.

Wonder if Liverpool and Spurs are ok with the transfer fee, need to make sure of that first, could end any deal if they're at all irritated.

Stunned, 69 is no age. Still recall him playing against the Toon in late 90 or 91 for Sheff Wed and even at the age of 36 or 37 he was brilliant and ran the game. RIP to a gentleman and brilliant footballer.

Tidy save but a dreadful pen

The Vietnamese keeper must be sick of her life, constantly in action

Have Vietnam even crossed the halfway line?

Could have had a couple in the first 5 minutes

Just wait until you see his Pringles review segment

I'll have to defer to those who have seen him play as I have not. Seems potentially a really excellent signing though 30m ish for a player coming off an injury like the one he had, seems a lot. I would imagine a lot of clauses and add-ons.

I think the prevailing opinion by many is that he literally can't do a thing with the ball unless he's charging into yards of space with it. I think that's bollocks. I've seen plenty of evidence he can feint and beat the first man before a shot or cross. No, he isn't going to pick the ball up in his own half and dribble past 5 players but he's got plenty of ability in tight spaces and a quick brain.

Does a good job in most of his videos that lad. Pretty much sums up my feelings on this perfectly.

What are your sources saying? May or may not happen by the end of the week?

Wonder if the NUFC TV commentators will refer to him as "Harvey Barnes" all the time

You might as well be speaking Swahili today

Wouldn't have made it on the Death Star as a stormtrooper

Think Eddie will be burning to get it right when we play them after what happened at Villa in April

Bet you're glad you asked

Stunned he didn't get the nod at Gateshead

Not sure who would fit in the "80m winger" category. Kvaradona is 20m+ North of that. Chiesa before the injuries. Thought of Musiala who's class but maybe more of a 10? I'm sure there's a fair few I can't think of. Raphinha probably would be the one, though he'd cost less than that surely

Oh absolutely. I just don't have an issue with a few fans saying things like "He's quality but can be frustrating", stuff like that. It's the enraged nonsense that I can't be bothered with. Also factor in they've been relegated and are losing some of their best players, being upset is natural.

Loved Elias, hated Barnes. Fuck i'm conflicted now. Thanks mate.

Understandable and it's a shit side effect of relegation, like continuously getting kicked in the nuts. once the season starts, it'll fade. Gone through it lots of times. Good luck in a swift return, you're receiving shedloads of money, better spend it wisely.

I mean nobody knows players better than the fans of the club he played for. So yeah, i'm sure he could be a frustrating player for them at times, if they say that, I believe it. I also believe his growth and potential was stunted under Rodgers and he'll now play for a club on the up and a brilliant coaching staff and better players.
