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...
duo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Not think £40 is a lot? ? Spend another £40 mil and we get one of the best prospects in the world 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...

Krabbe2 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Good player to have in the squad. Just like Almiron and Gordon, but hardly taking us to a new level. The foundation is getting better now, but I miss the x-factor. It's still early in the project, so I think this will be very good in 2-3 years. Stones are piled on stones here.

Maxi was in a cycle of injury, getting back to match fitness with indifferent performances, and then a period of good/great performances before the inevitable injury.

Did isaks dribble in from the touch line not give you the X factor, did Murphys goal against spurs or any of miggys goals, the spurs game in general or the Brighton or hammering West Ham? There was a lot of X factor moments last season and I haven’t even mentioned Wilson’s amazing end to the season. 99% of what’s happened since Howe came in has been fantastic but there’s always give and take - this is the first sacrifice we’ve had to make in the transfer market and I suggest we more Positive.

Yorkie Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Totally accept the debates around specifics but got to say I'm loving NUFC deliberately trying to better itself every single transfer window. What a novelty. Couple more and we're in very decent nick. Starting to think LB might not be on the cards, which is a shame but I can live with it. CB essential though.

Agreed - in barnes and miggy we have two wingers that’s scored 24 goals last season. Bearing in mind the chances are from the offset a lot of teams will sit deep then I think this is huge for us.
