Mountain Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I think Barnes might be all we sign re attacking options unless an amazing deal becomes avaliable. A top LB and a solid backup CB would be sensible additions. So that Schar and Botty can get a rest while Burn and someone who isn't Lacelles deputise.

toontownman Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Slightly unrelated but seeing as we were there with Gordon... if France had won the U21 Euros and we signed their highly rated winger that won player of the tournament for 40m, people would be over the moon. Still seems like a lot of money, rising to 45m with add ons but he looked great in the Euros. More on track with the thread - Saw we got linked to Elye Wahi yesterday for 30-40m. While it looks like just another lazy throw Newcastle in there with the other top clubs (which is nice to get used to now) he does play wide right as well as up top. Definitely one for the future.

Not in Scouted Football's team of the tournament, who said: Quote We’ve strayed quite far from the all-knowing UEFA Technical Observer panel, who packed their TOTT with only English and Spanish players. They also picked Anthony Gordon as their Player of the Tournament, another decision that we couldn’t make much sense of. ... UEFA’s pick of Gordon as Player of the Tournament was strange, but he did pretty well in a difficult centre-forwardy role. https://www.scoutednotebook.com/p/u21-euro-2023-team-of-tournament Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

English premium and all that. Gordon hasn’t shown anything (Yet) to be called top quality and I doubt Howe/Ashworth see him as that yet. Howe has talked about us going for a very small pool of players because of their quality. That’s the kind of players I think they see as elite, just like Tonali for example. To say we are “stocked” in wide areas might right to a degree. But not when it comes to top quality. We lack creativity from out wide to name one thing. you can’t just discount Gordon coz he hasn’t shown anything yet. We’ve spent £40m on him so he’s gonna start more games than not most likely. I added Barnes as he’s the most likely one coming in. Can’t see us bringing 2 wingers in was my point. We are well stocked and unless we start to move some of them we won’t be buying any more so it’s irrelevant wether you think the ones we have are elite or not. I agree to an extend Barnes might have great numbers but he’s not an elite winger. just my opinion of course but if we start with front 3 of Barnes isak and Gordon, isak is quality but it’s surely the weakest front 3 of the top ‘6/7’ Edited July 12, 2023 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he is top quality and i don’t think that Howe and the rest see him as that yet either. He might do very well this season or in the future. Time will tell. Also pointless to count Barnes because he hasn’t signed. iF he does then yeah. I don’t think my point is irrelevant as it’s my opinion, and as by the sounds of it the club has been looking for a wide player(s)for quite some time (even after Gordon). As of NOW I don’t think the club see it the way and thinking naah we are well stocked. Especially when our best one is never fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Howe would be pushing the club to sign either Gordon or Barnes with restricted funds unless they were players he thought would make a difference immediately. You said yourself there's a very small pool of players to choose from, and if you spend your restricted funds on 'maybes' then there's less chance of getting the elites. Will be interesting to see how Gordon does next year, and Barnes if he arrives. I'd be pretty pissed off at spending £80m of precious funds if they can't do better than what we've got. Personally I think they will both kick on and be key players (assuming Barnes actually arrives). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Reckon we would be pushing for loan to buy with Chiesa (probably most top clubs too). They need the money now though by the sounds of it. Could means he goes for cheaper in a sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
