Shadow Puppets

He pretty much was. Posted on IG last night pictures of him and his family on the plane home. He could easily have just arrived back into England this morning.

I know... there's some mental takes. Almiron is one of the last people we should be thinking of getting rid of. Tremendous member of the squad.

He wasn't. He had a tough first few months, but he was excellent towards the end of the season. Forest supporting friend raves about him. (That's not to say that I'd want him though)

It's really easy to just ignore it you know.

boom!

None of those stats correlate to anything I’ve seen of him. He always seems dangerous and heavily involved in the game. I watched a lot of a Leicester towards the end of the season and he was always one of the few to put a real shift in ?‍♂️

He's easily as exciting as Diaby. Think the only pushback I would have on this deal is that it only really makes sense if ASM is leaving or if Howe is planning on using ASM centrally.

Joelinton, Murphy?

Have you actually seen Barnes play? He's incredibly effective, and rapid.

From his YouTube videos, he seems surprisingly two footed, rapid, and an EXCELLENT finisher.

I will say, mind, I don't think Howe is anywhere near as worried about the RW position as some of our fans seem to be. To be honest, I'm not either. Almiron and Murphy were two huge players for us last year, who completely bought into the work ethic and shape of the team. He won't be desperate to move either of them on.

I think this is a really exciting signing to be honest. Tonnes of end product. I assume it means ASM is going, which would be a shame, but maybe Eddie is tempted to try ASM out elsewhere perhaps? Maxi always said his best position was central.

Out of curiosity has Barnes ever played centrally? AM?

If Maxi leaves, that's a no brainer and a fine price, IMO.

Yeah, I can tell you with 99% certainty that they absolutely do have significant contacts at the highest levels in the club. Whether those contacts are feeding them correct info is another question entirely.

I’m reckoning we’re only after 3 players total anyway (not including Minteh), so I’m thinking it’ll be Tonali plus a LB and RW.

I'm not convinced we're looking at two elite midfielders like. I think Tonali is the one CM we want, and if we go for any others they will be dedicated RW and LB options.

He’s a massive bellend that guy!

People were saying Isak was an overpay!

I’ll be honest, I have no idea how good he is. It’s just exciting to get the first signing through the door.

Who said earlier in this thread that Tonali is supposedly excellent at the pressing game?

But Mediaset's website or Twitter pages don't mention anything about it, other than we are preparing to make an offer.

Where is this from? Can't find this anywhere?

Maddison is definitely worth £50m in todays market like. If Declan Rice is going for £100m+

How? Seems like plenty of people are confirming our interest?
