gbandit Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think Barnes is a much more talented player than Harrison despite Harrison being a very solid player. Neither would be an elite target but Iād be much happier with Barnes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) I see it as pointless selling ASM now as his stock is low because a lack of fitness lately. Might as well keep him. He is our best wide player.Ā Edited May 9, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem a bit daft but it has logic if said player is more reliable over a big season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 2 seasons ASM has 6 goals and 10 assists in 64 games. Ā Barnes in the last 2 season has 23 goals and 17 assists in 85 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 ASM will have a break through the summer which may well improve any injury issues, though for me missing a couple of games here and there, which he may not of played in anyways, should improve his resale value.

Infatuation Junkie Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I seen rice value at 120m Ā I will be gutted if what I seen was true.

Nine Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Displayname said: I just gave you the cold hard facts about him not being more injured under Howe than before him. Ā I see no reason whatsoever that it wouldn`t be a coincident that he got injured in the 4th game of the season after the summer break. Why on earth would it have anything to do with this being his first full season under Howe. That makes no sense. Ā If you dont understand that the way we play and train under Howe will invite injuries to players that are prone to (especially muscle/tendon) injury then Iām not sure what to tell you. We now deploy one of the most intense, fast paced systems in club football. I also gave you cold, hard evidence that he is getting injured more frequently under this set up this season.. the % of games isnāt the the entire context here and that stat is thrown off by singular, isolated injuries of seasons past anyway.Ā Ā I understand if you are attached to the idea of him staying, and itās ok to disagree on this.Ā Edited May 9, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general we haven't had that many injuries so it doesn't seem obvious to me that our playstyle makes us so vulnerable to them. And we have been playing with an intense playstyle ever since Howe came, it's not something he started with at the beginning of this season.Ā Ā Not going to deny that I'm attached to the idea of keeping one of our best and most exciting players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Too good a player to miss out on, but Leicester will try to start a bidding war, so unless we're his first preference, I think he'll go elsewhere. Ā Looked a very unhappy bunny after the Fulham game, talking about a lack of commitment from the team. However, it doesn't feel like, long-term, he's committed to the club himself, which may create a certain issue in the dressing room, whatever his performances on the pitch.

sushimonster85 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'm becoming more confident with Maddison. Largely because the only other club consistently linked with him is Spurs.
