Chelsea made the same mistake last summer with Tuchel. Newcastle had a top market last summer, but then spend 45m for an average player as Gordon and now this nonsense. 'jigen'.

The Prophet Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It doesn't seem a coincidence that no one can nail down the fee. £30 million feels about right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'd rather we kept Maxi and bought Barnes but our top-class manager has told us with a heavy heart we will have to trade players and the FFP restrictoins are an impediment to him getting the team built the way he wants - if this has to be the deal, I trust the bloke who works 365 days a year and 12+ hour days preparing our team on 4 fronts.

TRon Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 3 hours ago, TeddySAFC said: Surprised on a few things here, The fact he's being sold, the fee involved and that he's going to Saudi, You would think a team in Europe would fancy him. It's quite instructive that they don't. It's not that he doesn't bring some flair and ability to give teams a hard time, he clearly does. But he would cost a fair whack, wages would be out of most other teams reach, and his fitness record over his time here has been patchy at best.

Toon88 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Think teams know you can’t carry players anymore. He’s was a luxury fringe player for us, injury prone, and who scored one goal last season. £30m is not small change for teams in Europe. PL sides no to avoid him, because they’ve seen first hand his inconsistency, injury record and how little he had to do with our success last season. £30m from SA is a good deal, and the reason we’ve agreed it.

Manxst Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Fuck me, just give it a rest man. ASM is being sold, and Barnes is being bought. Life goes on. The pros and cons of both players have been discussed to death, and at this point no one will be changing their opinion until Barnes starts playing. Let’s just get behind Barnes, support the team, and trust the club, eh? You never know, it might just be a whole lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you get it - our top class manager and owners whose brought us CL football back and put a spring in so many of our steps hasn’t earned the right to sell one player yet in a lot of our fans eyes.

patrone Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think Gordon is/was ASM's replacement, we just didn't have the chance to sell him earlier. Barnes is a welcome addition to the squad depth. ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
