I've admired him for ages. He's very much a finisher though. Don't expect more than physicality and goals. Can imagine Bruno and Sandro will be looking to get him released asap on the break. 

Laurent robert was the same to be honest pacey and goals and he was class. Soon as he joined us we went from mid table to a title challenge.

FWIW in his highlights Barnes beats a man plenty of times. Not in the way that ASM does of course, but he goes past defenders all the time. 

 

Yeah, Gordon is similar, both tend to try to get past their man by using their pace rather than trickery. That doesn't mean they can't feint or drop a shoulder, just they want to get behind defenders and hit them while they are exposed. Too many tricks and double backs just gives the whole defence time to regroup and smother the attack.

He's going to be class btw.

 

 

There'll be a whole bunch of critical posters quietly disappearing and being replaced by new ones who will profess he was always underappreciated.

Don’t doubt it’s genuine I’m just trying to work out why it appears to be taken through the netting.

Not me. There’s no shame in being wrong.

Nout wrong with being fairly critical, nor supporting players of our club. They're not mutually exclusive.

 

I'm not blown away by him, but I look forward to seeing what Howe and the coaching team does with him and how he performs on the pitch for us. 

 

When Barnes is on the pitch he'll have my full support, I don't care what he's done elsewhere when he becomes a Newcastle United player.

 

No-one can trade on past glories and he'll be assessed by everyone on what he does in black and white.
