nemtizz Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thought him, Maddison and Dewsbury-Hall were all the same person for at least 2 years tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 6 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Not that it matters too much, but I wonder what the breakdown of the deal is in terms of fee and add-ons. Out of interest, have you changed your mind about him not being a Howe type player ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) We were a bastard to play against last season, especially at St James'. The new signings will only make us more of a problem imo. We now have a really direct and aggressive goal threat in the wide left position and even more power and dynamism in the midfield. Tonali is honestly likely to prove streets better than Longstaff and I do love that lad, we missed him when he didn't play. These are two excellent signings, we're maneuvering around FFP really well I think. Edited July 19, 2023 by LionOfGosforth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Magpie Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Genuinely believe we've just upgraded the first eleven in terms of what the lad brings to overall possession and xG, very direct and swift when the openings arise. I'll likely miss Maxi's flair and trickery, but at the end of the day - workrate counts. (copyright: Eddie Howe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Quote “Barnes is not stunning, nor does he show flashes of genius. You won’t find a stepover, or a cheeky finish, or many spectacular long-rangers. Barnes’ game is almost solely based around the simplest concept in football: the give-and-go. “He is a fine ball-carrier, but doubtless knows his limitations at directly beating his opponent. And as a goalscoring wide player, his main job is to get past the opposition full-back and score goals. Therefore, he compensates for his lack of trickery by relentlessly playing one-twos with team-mates. “Opposition right-backs have a specific task when playing against Barnes — don’t worry too much about him running at you with the ball, but be very wary when he knocks the ball infield and charges past you.” Bit from The Athletic article, courtesy of Michael Cox.
