Just never been impressed by him, doesn’t seem exceptionally quick, have a trick in him to go by a defender and thought he looked weak as piss when he came on at home to Liverpool. He can undoubtedly finish and his stats say I’m wrong, but doesn’t excite me one bit and just always thought he looks average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Huge fan. Of course, I wouldn't for a minute have him ahead of Gordon now. But my assumption at the beginning of the season was that Barnes would be the guy on the left for the forseeable future. Finding a way the get him minutes.... nice problem to have.

Deuce Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Gordon on the left, Chiesa on the right, Barnes off the bench. Looking good for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think Barnes is an excellent option to have. Very direct, excellent finisher. The signing made perfect sense to me - shame he’s been injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile in Saudi a sicknote has 14 starts this season. Gordon is ASM’s replacement, Barnes is back-up. I wouldn’t consider ASM to be close to Gordon, and Barnes scored 13 PL goals last season in a relegated side - ASM managed 12 in four years. If you’re blaming Barnes for his injury, I can’t help you there. But the idea that we haven’t upgraded isn’t on at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I’ve ever been particularly upset by a player leaving tbh. I remember Gazza leaving when I was a kid and that seemed momentous, and Andy Cole pissed some off. ASM and Almiron aren’t in that category for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I’m not sure how miggy goes tbh, we need money for him but I can’t see an mls side being willing to pay. He’s a key player in a champions league side after all.

A few years back I would’ve said a half decent Spanish club like Betis would have gave us a good fee, can’t see it at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for West ham they bought kudus so I don’t see it either. The problem is the clubs with money are generally English and the market has shifted to buying players with resale, so funnily enough Saudi might be the best bet.

I was all in on Gordon from the off always thought he looked electric at Everton, only concern was end product. Its the opposite with Barnes he clearly has end product going off the stats, just never passed the eye test for me, hopefully I’m wrong usually am.

I don’t quite understand how the mls works though They are given 2/3 designated player spots which means they can offer players a wage outside of the wage cap. There will be a few clubs with DP slots available, but as you say, the problem is buying players. If Chris wood is £20m, and then £15m player, then Miggy is above that.
