Yet Barnes scores two more than him and he’s amazing, better than Maddison etc etc Well fair enough, FWIW I also think Miggy is mint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I am very excited, not for the player that Barnes is, but for the player he's going to become under EH. We have seen remarkable improvements in players many had already consigned to the NUFC bin pre-Howe. I cannot wait to see this lad with proper coaching reach his full potential.

Kid Icarus Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Quote Absolute mustard when's he's on it, but not often enough Quote Great player on his day, absolute knack for pin point strokey finishes. Very important for the team over the last 4/5 years. But also very one dimensional, no defensive nous. Quote Good riddance.

Own it. That makes no sense “I think he’s shit so I hope he turns out to be shit so I’m not wrong on Newcastle-online” mental. also haven’t seen anyone say he’s shit tbh. He’s a decent player as I’ve said a few times. Just not Champions league quality and imo wouldn’t get in to any of other top 5/6 sides.

LionOfGosforth Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I mean nobody knows players better than the fans of the club he played for. So yeah, i'm sure he could be a frustrating player for them at times, if they say that, I believe it. I also believe his growth and potential was stunted under Rodgers and he'll now play for a club on the up and a brilliant coaching staff and better players.

Good luck with that wish, we are sad to see one of our own leave us,but we have seen him freeze within 5 minutes if he's facing Kyle walker or better.Its our own fault for letting Rogers have too much say thus ruining our club.

alexf Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 23 minutes ago, cranna said: So, it's going to be Gordon, Murphy, Barnes and Almiron on the wings? That's a big contrast with the level of the midfield with Tonali, Bruno and Joelinton. Unless Gordon develops into something we haven't seen yet, the midfielders will have to score a good amount of goals to make the team competitive. I mean we're only minus Maxi from last season and adding Barnes and Tonali. So in theory we should be better as Maxi didn't actually contribute huge goal and assist numbers and the team was still very competitive last season. But with hopefully going far in many competitions, we will have more games so I agree we will need some people to increase their numbers. Hoping for more goals from Willock this year for example as his finishing at times was the only negative in a great season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Its like Platoon in here "a civil war in the platoon, half the men with Elias (ASM), half with Barnes. There's a lot of suspicion and hate. I can't believe we're fighting each other' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable and it's a shit side effect of relegation, like continuously getting kicked in the nuts. once the season starts, it'll fade. Gone through it lots of times. Good luck in a swift return, you're receiving shedloads of money, better spend it wisely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 11 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: 6 goals but 10 assists in the season before last, 9 goals the season before that. You can’t argue his stats are impressive. That's what his clubs fans seem to pick on though, his stats suggest he's a a 40m, maybe 50m player but that the stats aren't everything. They call him frustrating, inconsistent, and defensively naive. Need a lot of persuading that he'll be better than Maxi, especially in the chances he'll provide for others which Maxi has become much more consistent with. Wish him well of course, but remain gutted that we're losing a player that has been such an absolute joy to see on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
