Donut Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Poor today but he will get goals and he will win us points throughout the season. I have no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 I don't worry much about him and having both him and Gordan as LW options is excellent. I'm still surprised we bought him in though and not considered to fix the clear weakness we have at RW first. nothing suggests to me that we are planning to do this in this window so far.

Came back and was good if a bit inconsistent and didn’t score or assist until the last game of the season, I think. Hardly could have predicted the season he had. Even though he was obviously going to improve with a preseason. You’ve got it the other way around. If I could be arsed to go and check his thread. I would The thread was complete insanity though, I said it at the time. He was playing well in cameos and being griefed. It was obvious he was a quality player and just needed bedding in, I don't think last season was a suprise at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t think 10 goals and 11 assists or whatever it was, was a surprise? Even when his attacking output has always been terrible throughout his career (playing for a shit side, granted).

Why would we have payed the fee we payed if he wasn't capable of a good premiership attackers output? It was obvious he was capable of that man, people were being proper weird and trying to justify the nonsense that was being spouted around his transfer. Crystal ball ffs Edited August 17, 2024 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 (edited) To put it anoter way, it's not a suprise at all that a player we payed £40+m for turned out to be good, especially when he was actually good when we saw him play Edited August 17, 2024 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 18, 2024 Share Posted August 18, 2024 Yeah, because no transfers ever end up being busts. Not saying I thought that about Gordon. Yes there were some mad takes on him. It was obvious he was going to come on for a pre season with us. But he still hadn’t performed particularly well with us and we had also just lost ASM. Plenty thought Barnes might even be the starter or at least provide a lot more competition and there would be more rotation. As it happened. Gordon became one of the first names on the team sheet and played out of his skin all season. Barnes got injured for 3-4 months. Total revisionism to say he had been good and act like there were no worries at all around his performances or future performances. Perhaps not a crystal ball. But you’re being Captain Hindsight, for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted August 18, 2024 Share Posted August 18, 2024 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...

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, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 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, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 (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, 2024 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 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, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 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, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 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...
