The College Dropout Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 25 minutes ago, Maineblue said: I don’t think it works like this in 2023, it’s all about potential these days and what a manager such as Pep sees, did Barnes do anything at Leicester to earn his move to Newcastle. I mean Barnes did score something like 13 league goals last season. That's more than any of our wingers. And for the previous 3 seasons, he's been a double-digit goalscoring winger across all comps - again something none of our wingers have done. I agree that this is based on potential and what they saw of him at Sporting, rather than Wolves. But it's not the same as Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does well he probably goes for around £40 million on the low end and Wolves still make a £15 million profit as they get £20 million of that fee. They're basically giving Wolves the player for very little and only then collecting more money if he does well there and is eventually sold on.

joeyt Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I do like it when a club sells an asset for a lot of money and then go on a mad splurging spree. Wolves are now linked with everyone under the sun, Forest signing everyone because they might be selling Johnson. Even Coventry signing expensive players after they sold their big Swede for loads of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Pep ever sold a young talent before that’s came back to bite him on the arse? (not literally.

No Pep said it’s upto Cole Palmer - he can stay and will get game time or he can leave, Pep wanted him to stay but at the end of the day it was the player’s decision. Im gutted because he was from my area Wythenshaw in Manchester, but £45m is crazy money to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My guess based almost entirely on my own speculation is that he’s clearly a very good player but something about his attitude or his willingness to play in Pep’s style means that he either doesn’t value him as highly as his showings would suggest or that he’s trying to provoke a response from Palmer to see whether he’s got it in him to be a long-term player there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 They’ve sold their best academy players because they bought a load of random foreign players on 10 year contracts and now buying a rivals academy player who can’t get in his own side for exactly the same reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
