buzza Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Going to be great having two decent, and productive, left wingers fighting for a place in the team! He was very good today, as good as Gordon for me and with goals. But... on another day Gordon would have put two away as well (two posts yesterday) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 From those who have watched him for us so far, was he a better buy than Maddison for our style ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) He just feels like a really smart buy for us. He's about as good a player as you could want for one of our major gameplans last season - overload right to create an isolation on the left for a switch. Also, outside of Isak and Wilson (and maaaybe Miggy if he does it again this year), we lack consistent finishers and that was one of the big problems when we had our runs of draws. It's important to have lots of available goalscorers in the squad of course but you want a core group you can always rely on. I think Howe will do a lot of tactical rotation of the front 3 this season but Big Harvey will gets loads of minutes and goals/assists to his name.

STM Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Yeah he's even better than I thought. He's going to score a hat full the way we play. He's got that knack of finding himself space in goalscoring areas. Also, he looked up to the pace of our game. Never looked tired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esp with the way we play. Seems like a very good fit. Although no sure how we will fare when teams sit back on us. Both fiorentina and VR play the way we like the most. Has Maddison done anything of note for spurs yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I would like a madisson type too to be fair mainly as a lot of terms are going to line up with two banks of four behind the ball against us and I'm worried about us scoring in those games when we can't break into space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Could really do with Schar coming back sharpish, his ability to spread the play quickly will be a massive part of our game when we've got opposition worried about the Miggy/Trippier link up and then Schar having the ability the twat the ball 50 yards to Barnes in space.

STM Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 We don't HAVE to compare Barnes and Maddison like. We could just let Madders get on at Spurs and enjoy wor Harvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 While I wasn't opposed to the signing I wasn't particularly excited but the penny has dropped for me. Howe and team are signing players not just to have two strong 11s but also the ability to play 3 or 4 different ways and Barnes seems to fit this strategy really well. For us and our needs I think we got the right relegated Leicester player even if Maddison might be the more talented player overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a wide player I would say yes. He's more direct and dynamic with the ball and makes forward runs in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Total confidence when he gets a chance, strikes the ball hard and clean and on target basically every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) During his celebration after scoring a goal he lets go of both the imaginary string and the bow. I mean what, are we to believe this is some sort of magic bow where the laws of gravity don't apply? Boy, I hope he gets fired for that one.

Ameritoon Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Having a goal scoring midfielder is going to be so huge. If Miggy can get a similar return to last season we're in great shape Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
