Doesn't Pulisic to Milan for 20m set a similar ceiling on a Maxi fee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great coach, but you never must built a team on the market following the coach. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon88 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) For a luxury fringe player, who’s injury prone, and scored one goal all season, I don’t think we can complain about £30m. Take it, and move on. Edited July 20, 2023 by Toon88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money absolutely isn't an issue for us - all that matters is FFP. By selling Maxi we have got rid of a player who isnt fancied by the manager and enabled us to sign a few additional players in this window. I'm not sure if you don't understand this or if you are being deliberately obtuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 There is some slight truth in Gordon and Barnes not being quite the same calibre or having as high a ceiling as the likes of Bruno, Botman, Isak and Tonali. However we are building a squad, that has to include a number of English players who are good enough to contribute significantly, as they are. We can't go out and buy the likes of Grealish, Rice or Kane with the premium prices they attract so the level below that is where we have aimed. Add more world beaters from abroad and we're laughing.

Groundhog63 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Maxi wasn't going to start for us, period. The elevation of his productivity is insane. Bloke spent more time on his arse than anything else. Canny dribbler but, then again, so am I on a night out. Get over yourselves ffs ????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was mint against Man City last season man, and in one or two other games, that's all that matters. Consistency and availability for selection is an optional requirement for some on here.

Absurd. We haven’t weakened the team though have we, as ASM couldn’t get in the team. We don’t even know how Barnes is going to turn out either. If he ends up total gash, then fair enough, but what if he bangs in 15 goals next season and is a revelation. Let it play out first before saying we are weakened.

In my 40 years of following NUFC he's one of the most overrated players I've encountered in a B&W shirt. The hysteria over this is absolutely mental. The gif below pretty much sums him up.

Dr Jinx Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think there’s a place to love the player but also acknowledge that he could be frustrating for the majority of the time. The frustration is because we know what he could do and we have a high expectation of him.. well more wanting him to have that for himself. Ultimately I think he’s a very good footballer trapped in the body of a rugby league player. The work rate expected of him is going to continually lead to injuries, for that reason he’s not reliable.. an average season for him is 25 games. In terms of end product we have most definitely upgraded but I’m still sad to see him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
