STM Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Still calling bullshit on this link until some others stand it up. So far we have the telegraph and other than that journalists talking about "reports", which just refers to the telegraph anyway. Nowt from Edwards, Hope, Downie or any other journalist to confirm these reports to be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 It seems thay we are targeting players on relatively low wages - Barnes rather than Maddison, Tonali rather than Barella etc. IMO its a sensible tactic - the alternative is you quickly end up like man utd or chelsea where everyone that signs expects 200k+ a week. Building slowly and deliberatley isnt just about transfer fees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need to be effective. I would say that football intelligence is way more important, and being effecitve. Maxi is none of that. And ya, he dosent really play anyway. I would take Barnes every day over Maxi. I´m sure Howe would do that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building slowly and deliberatley isnt just about transfer fees Barnes is also more of an obvious fit for our side, I don't think anyone was sure how we would use Maddison given our formation and style of play last season. To me Barnes is a player that could conceivably score 15-20 goals for us in all competitions next season. He's not the creative type that we probably want, but there's still time to get someone like that on the right. I really think Barnes could smash it here if Howe gets his off the ball work up to standard. It would raise further questions about why we spent £45m on Gordon though.

On that list of the most give and go goals over the last 4 years, he is top with 6. On the same list both Salah and Mane have 5. Salah and Mane benefitted a lot from Firmino dropping into space to receive the ball and then playing them in behind, or just from making runs in behind when Firmino created space from dropping deep, with other players then playing them in. Think Almiron did a great job of this kind of movement last season and he got a lot of goals from it, but we didn't have the same kind of similar threat on the left side. I think Barnes adds that balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Stats read more like an inside forward than someone who gets involved in build up play, not seen much of him at all though so I'm aware stats don't tell the full story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I think I preferred it when football was more vibes based, rather than every cunt fancying themselves as Jonathan Wilson because they’ve spent five mins on Transfermarkt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
