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.

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.

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. Time to move on

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.

this video sums it up really well for me - forget the clickbait title, the actual content is really well-thought out. 

 

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

€18m is a fairly decent wedge to be spending on a winger with allegedly poor end product. We are potentially going to have a front three who are all lightning quick but can't hit a barn door.

Looked on page one And TRon called it... ?

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. Lots of fluff but not much end product.

That looks unplayable to me

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.

One thing that's really sad about this is that if he leaves to Saudi it means that he may not get to play in the Champions League ever.. Left the moment he got there with us, after what we went through together the last years. He was linked with Champions League clubs in some windows aswell. Who knows though, maybe he will go back to Europe at some point..
