kingxlnc Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 A new way of viewing it: It's a little bit like getting rid of a full-on flair, glamorous player like David Ginola and replacing him with a more end-product-focused player (but less wow) like Laurent Robert.

Plenty of relentless morons in every fanbase, including our own. Oh absolutely. I just don't have an issue with a few fans saying things like "He's quality but can be frustrating", stuff like that. It's the enraged nonsense that I can't be bothered with. Also factor in they've been relegated and are losing some of their best players, being upset is natural.

Doctor Zaius Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Can't say the comments from Leicester fans fill me with a great deal of confidence, but it can be difficult to judge a player fairly in a shite team. Close to 80m on Barnes and Gordon is some outlay. I'm going to refrain from passing judgement for a while as I can see in theory why we've signed both, Gordon already looks to be improved and if anyone can develop players, its Howe. Whether either has the quality to be mainstays in a top 5 side, I'm not convinced but we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranna Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Considering the stats and what we've seen so far, it looks like Harvey Barnes is what Gordon might become if he achieves his full potential. Which makes his 40m transfer fee outrageous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 9 hours ago, Kanji said: Barnes shooting technique with both feet from inside and outside of the box makes me think he’s far less a pass and move into space and hit with his preferred foot player like Almiron generally has shown. Barnes is someone who you can’t show a specific way because he isn’t 1 footed, and his assists looked pretty damn good when he had a settled CF playing regularly. We will have Isak and Wilson. Dumbing down his game is a bit classic NO as you can get. Elite sides exploit space through passing and movement. £80m on English wingers that don’t make the England squad.

LionOfGosforth Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Not sure who would fit in the "80m winger" category. Kvaradona is 20m+ North of that. Chiesa before the injuries. Thought of Musiala who's class but maybe more of a 10? I'm sure there's a fair few I can't think of. Raphinha probably would be the one, though he'd cost less than that surely Edited July 19, 2023 by LionOfGosforth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hopefully he protects his fb well and we can get rid of burn at lb. If we can get someone who can thread him, cut inside behind him and cross deep...left wing became a lot more interesting. Doing my best to get on board with this.

brummie Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Surprised at the lukewarm-ness of this thread. I really rate Barnes. Decent coaching instead of Rodgers sat with his feet up, coasting and waiting for the pay off will make the difference here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Got to be a fan of this, him & Gordon for that position will be very good imo. He's an upgrade on Maxi, hard to say it but he is, so we're moving forward again. RW and LB next please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
