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.

Must admit i never knew he could hit a ball that well!

 

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.

He’s already got his house sorted out up here so you’d think so.

Katie Cutler sorted him out with new digs? Supplies all the Barnes’ with accommodation.

Consider me a 6/10 on the whelmed-ometer.

I’m probably an 8/10 on him. Proven PL winger, pretty quick, goes both ways, and has scored double digits. I don’t get the negativity whatsoever. Truly baffling.

 

It’s also better to be underwhelmed, and then they flourish, than the other way around.

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

If his name was Hervé Barnsenda I'd be 8/10. Bit too boring imo.

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 

Given's old gaff at Tranwell perchance?

Renting surely, houses take a canny while to go through.

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.
