What are you basing that on? He started 3 or 4 games at the start of the season and that's it. Maybe actually give him some time to see what type of winger he can be when fully up to speed instead of trying to make any sort of analysis at this stage? Eh? He's a premier league winger who's started consistently for Leicester since 2019, he's not an unknown quantity. Everyone knows what kind of player he is.

Dr Venkman Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 I missed the vast majority of the Bruce time because I didn't care, so I have no great emotional attachment to ASM. He was nice to watch and that but he usually did nothing (although I thought he was pretty good at times under EH). He couldn't play in EH's team, he was a waste of a shirt, he did nowt, Barnes will be much better in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fair to say he's a final third player though imo. His per 90 assist numbers are actually pretty poor. Expected assists per 90 for his PL career are 0.15 per 90, just as an example Miggy has 0.10 which is quite close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s harsh on ASM, as his game was all about dribbles/meters travelled with ball etc. Was part of a proper crap team where he had to do majority of his attacking stuff 60 yards from goal, similar to Gordon stats at Everton were poor because Everton were crap and he spent most of his time defending deep etc. Do think ASM would’ve been good for us where we had ball more in final third and he could take players on, but it’s all mute now.

Jaqen Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 ASM was great to watch but he's not really a system player. He did try and adjust his game to fit and I think it made him worse. There's little demand for individual players like that with managers/teams focused much more on systems these days hence why nobody was really interested in him for a relatively low fee. He's in his prime playing in the Saudi league with 3 in 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted February 29, 2024 Share Posted February 29, 2024 My position on Barnes is this. He's not a bad player, but given 1. our financial limitations and 2. the relative strength players who could play in that position in our team before he signed he means may turn out to be a mildly bad signing. Nothing happens in a vacuum and I feel the predictable knock on effects of his signing (i.e. not counting the unpredictable injuries) on other aspects of our overall team mean the money should have been spent elsewhere. I guess he'll be a 6/10 signing, but the way the deck is stacked against us due to FFP et all, means we can't really afford to have 6/10 signings.
