SUPERTOON Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Just now, Kid Icarus said: It was an opportunity though wasn't it? I don't think Barnes is the player I'm looking at and thinking we could have chosen a different position to spend our money on. For that I'd probably say just going all in on Guehi and not pivoting to an RW much earlier. Aye, although I don’t think we signed him to be an impact sub. I just think Howe doesn’t know how to use him and Gordon in the same 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say with hindsight but if Barnes doesn't break his toe last season we probably would have seen more of him left, Gordon right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be worth persisting with until January at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago He can't be moaning about PSR when he effectively spent £40m on an impact sub then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It is was very odd signing when we had Gordon and needed a RW more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Gordon had just spent 6 months looking like an average champo player when we signed Barnes, mind. We didn't know whether he was going to play left or right for us either. In hindsight it does look like we could've spent our money better though.

Never felt he was shocking tbh. Even when he wasn't getting loads of assists or goals, he decent just because he would run at defences and open them up, and also run back and cover for 90mins.

I remember thinking 'I'm not sure what he does' and that we've spunked a lot of money on someone who doesnt look elite. Proved me wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember him running back much. If anything it was the opposite because, by his own admission, he was really unfit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
