AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I don’t want to sell Maxi but have no issues with Barnes, I think he’ll be a great signing. I would be much happier going into the CL with some kind of wildcard like Maxi though. Like Taylor said, we could end up quite workmanlike in wide areas.

I just had him as cutting in from the left and regularly smashing them in. A mirror of Almiron last season basically but more consistent. I don't think defenders will be able to just snuff him out by showing him onto his left because he can clearly use it well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 To be perfectly honest, in world football today, Barnes is the closest player in terms of the style of play and ability to Laurent Robert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Sean from Enderby says some of their fans don't rate him that highly because he doesn't do step overs or back-heel passes. Do not want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Bought a house in Morpeth so probably just formalities. Cant help feel we've downgraded personally but if selling Maxi allows an extra quality player as well as Barnes then I guess it's something they had to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven PL winger, pretty quick, goes both ways, and has scored double digits. I don’t get the negativity whatsoever. Truly baffling.

Let’s be honest he wouldn’t get in any of the other top 6 sides. If we weren’t hampered by ffp we wouldn’t be signing him and likely aiming higher but as it is we need to spread the money around 3 or 4 players so £35m is a good deal. He’s a decent signing nothing more than that. Hope he does well it’s just not that exciting much like Gordon in January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Watching this tonight and picturing Bruno, Willock, Joe and adding Barnes and hopefully a quality left back, I think the whole thing makes sense. Barnes running onto Tonali and Bruno’s through balls, being as direct as he is, both footed, yep can see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
