If we believe the £30m gap figure then this still wouldn't have helped. Capology have Barnes' annual wage at £4m and £7.6m of his £38m fee would've been amortised over the last year. He almost certainly won us 3 points when he came off the bench and scored a brace against West Ham whilst 3-1 down, without which we would've finished below Man Utd and would've cost us £3m in PL finishing position cash. Very rough figures but: £4m +£7.6m -£3m =£8.6m total savings in this financial period Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had not purchased Barnes at that fee and those were wages , we would have purchased another player or players that would have e contributed in different ways.

My point was solely in response to the comment that we shouldn't have bought Barnes last summer so we could keep Minteh this summer. If we bought a different player last summer that would be a moot point to start with. I'm not saying we shouldn't have bought Barnes, just that even if we didn't we would likely still need to raise c.20m by the end of June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Brighton would be a good club for him, he can develop there and they will happily sell him on if he does well. Everton not so much with Dyche-ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he could be one of those players who frustrates and excels in equal measure, but Brighton will be patient and provide him with the right coaching.
