Having two quality players for the LW position to cope with being a high energy pressing team competing in Europe every season. Hadn't thought of it that way. I guess I like to see a bit more variety in the type of attacking players we have but yeh, fair point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Get the feeling he's a MOTD type player who would disappoint if we bought him. Avoid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Amazed at the lukewarm response here. I'd rather sign Barnes than Maddison, he's absolutely one of those players waiting for a good manager to happen for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 We don't really have a goalscoring winger other than Miggy for ONE season. Baffling that so many seem against signing someone who can score goals on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 ASM on his day has twice the talent but we all know about his fitness issues. Not a big fan of his overall game and how limited he is tactically but Barnes for 30 odd million is practically a no brainer for what he’d offer in terms of goals. Just hope we’re not selling ASM for him. When on form he’s one of my favourite players to watch in world football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Harvey Barnes will be class. Hopefully he can replicate his namesake John’s stunning winning goal away to West Ham United in 97/98. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Considering a striker getting into double figures in a relegated team is always seen as having had a good season, i would say 13 from the wing is pretty remarkable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'd happily keep Maxi. Could Gordon play right-wing? No reason he can't do what Murphy did but even better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Id be very surprised if we signed a LW now, unless Maxi is off or there are other plans for Gordon, neither I think are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 There's a desperate lack of goals in our wide options. Barnes isn't anyone's dream signing but double figures first team goals for a PL club the last three seasons running is really good and gives us something we desperately need.

STM Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 It's also value for money. Worst case? We'd get 20m back for him 2 years down the line. Hardly a huge loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hard to get excited about this, potentially swapping ASM for Barnes seems like a sideways move. We already signed a depth winger in Gordon, would like the next winger signing to be a bit higher profile and in the same bracket as Isak and Bruno. Would greatly prefer a RW too, we have a lot already at the left. I’ll trust Howe and Ashworth etc. disclaimer that’s obviously needed but that’s how I feel about this.

Who could realistically be that right winger? With a good injury history and decent numbers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
