Shadow Puppets Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I will say, mind, I don't think Howe is anywhere near as worried about the RW position as some of our fans seem to be. To be honest, I'm not either. Almiron and Murphy were two huge players for us last year, who completely bought into the work ethic and shape of the team. He won't be desperate to move either of them on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be shocked if this isn't Barnes in, ASM out. We're desperately short of players to play RW, signing Barnes doesn't change that. Maybe they see Gordon as a RW and it's Gordon and Miggy on the right and ASM and Barnes on the left though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, logically it makes perfect sense, I just find it hard to believe we could have such a perfect transfer window. Despite what I said in the other thread, I'm really too chicken shit to dream that big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Unfortunately, I don't see how Maxi stays now. If he stays, there's no need at all for Barnes..... I like Barnes a lot by the way. It's just that left wing is the position we least need right now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 It feels like my love for Maxi is futile. The chance of him playing RW doesn’t seem high. And Eddie loves Joelinton at LW too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What stops Maxi playing on the right, not the position he normally plays but I recall in the past on a few occasions he would swap wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Yes I've seen him, there are 5 more talented left wingers in Croatian League that you could get for few million. Edited July 7, 2023 by kocunar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after Tonali signing Barnes is a bit of a let down. And the combination of Gordon, Almiron, Saint-Maximin and Barnes doesn't look like top 4 quality. The winger position should be a statement signing. Edited July 7, 2023 by cranna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Barnes, Maximin, Gordon and Almiron for the two wide roles, Murphy as back up. Could probably even sell him if someone fancied giving us our £12m back for him. As much as people talk about Almiron not matching his goal tally I think there's less chance of Murphy repeating his performances and we have better than him.

Jesus Christ. Harvey Barnes has been putting up consistent numbers in the PL for a few years now. And improving in a side that's been getting worse and worse all around him. The push back from some people on this deal (especially at 35m) is madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I can’t think of any logical objections for £35m really, except he’s not as exciting as someone more exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily as exciting as Diaby. Think the only pushback I would have on this deal is that it only really makes sense if ASM is leaving or if Howe is planning on using ASM centrally.
