Chicken Dancer Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I don’t mind him whatsoever and actually think he’s a decent player. Will score a few over a season. The signing and cost of it still makes no sense to me, especially since he’s pretty limited to the left-hand side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawalls Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 19 hours ago, gazza ladra said: Barnes is going to make a lot of people eat their words. Like alphabet spaghetti? I love barnes and glad we bought him - he had a spell pre season before last and the start of the season where he really clicked with Wilson and if / when Wilson returns I think he may do it again. May even do it with new striker, who knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Apparently wasn't happy he didn't start on Saturday having been around and playing throughout pre season. Can't lie, I was surprised about it too, with Gordon going straight in having come back later, after the Euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Is he completely unable to play on the right at all then? I mean Howe literally stated in the previous pre season that he can play right or left even tho preferred position is LW Edited August 23 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I would be more worried if the player is happy not to start. They are pros, they want to play every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 He's too good to not be starting in the Premier League, let's be honest. I'm just not sure what he thought was going to happen when he signed, with us already having Anthony Gordon in the squad. Did he just think AG was going to disappear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Also, players coming out with this shit a week or so before the end of the transfer window never sits well with me. It's a threat if I've ever seen one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) Who knows, just going off what I've read on here. I'd understand if he wasn't happy but you'd have to question his expectations upon arriving at the club. Edited August 23 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I can see why he'd be pissed off if he was fully fit, given Gordon (by all accounts) wasn't. But it's a non-story. Standard tabloid behaviour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will all be easier to manage once we get back into Europe, and have a good batch of games every week, and so we really need to do that this season.

Yorkie Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I bet even Howe et al weren't expecting Gordon to progress at the rate he did. Plus we had four competitions to compete in instead of three last season, so the expectation is that he'll have played more than plenty. He started the game (with Gordon on the bench) when he got that shit injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he wasn't mis-sold anything as that would leave a bad taste and I don't think we can afford that perception like some other clubs can.

St1pe Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Odd if true. He’s inferior to Gordon in every capacity. Can’t play RW. What did he expect? It was an odd signing from us really. I still don’t really see much logic to it unless they were banking on Europe for rotation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be shocked if I'm honest, he wants out as season goes on, especially if he has England ambitions. Never going to get into England squad when you can't get in over Gordon to show ability.
