WilliamPS Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Can’t be pre-planned surely, Joelinton and Bruno will both play 90mins next games so giving them 45 each keeps them fresh. Barnes won’t start next game. Tbh I think his first half he was trying too hard, like a player who was rusty and not settled, took shots on when maybe there were better options but I don’t feel he was at hookable levels. I’d have said a word from the manager would have been enough. It’s not great if the one decent option off the bench is in the managers bad books. We shall see but agree with those saying doesn’t look great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keggy_Keagal Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Players have bad games even the best but the move here hasn't quite worked for him or us . He offers a goal threat but very little else so he's the super sub or the shit or bust option when a games very stretched. I'd move him on and bring in a pacey young player who can play either flank and learn from the pros around him. He's never getting ahead of a fit Gordon and can't nail down the right hand side against Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Demonstrated why he's stuck on the subs bench. Very disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think he's a good player, but ive got no doubt that we'd sell if we got out money back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Aren't people bemoaning the fact that we're sluggish sellers? If we can recoup anywhere near the fee this one is looking good business to move forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 His remaining book value is probably what, in the 25-30m range? Bought for 38m (IIRC) two summers ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just now, MagCA said: His remaining book value is probably what, in the 25-30m range? Bought for 38m (IIRC) two summers ago Yeah, but it instantly means we could afford a similar deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He’ll be gone in the summer or maybe even a later Jan deal if it means we can get a RW in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He’s very passive when he starts. Barely impacts games at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just now, MagCA said: His remaining book value is probably what, in the 25-30m range? Bought for 38m (IIRC) two summers ago Five year deal, you’re looking at £7.6m a season. So you’re looking at at £7.6m + 7/12th of £7.6m = £12m. We’d need £26m to break even but we’d want to make a profit on him. £35m for me given his previous form and goals / assists record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He'd go for about 28 mill is my guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 minutes ago, Holloway said: He'd go for about 28 mill is my guess Wouldn't sell for that. Even though he doesn't start for us, he'd instantly give any PL side a good goals output. 35m minimum. Hes highly rated by other fans, from my experience at least.

Cronky Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He has a good shot on him, but his touch on the ball isn't great. It was a very poor piece of play from him to let that guy through to what might well have been a second goal. You get taught to move towards the ball, but he stayed put in a bad bit of judgement. It suggested that he might not be in the best place mentally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 In some ways pleased it’s an injury. Some over the top reactions in here. The ability to ping in goals from LW has real value, just ask Miggy... The imbalance in the squad between LW and RW isn’t his fault, and whilst fixing RW is the priority I hope it will be done without weakening another area of the pitch.

Cf Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He's backup LW, though I'm always less than convinced when he starts for us vs when he comes on for us as a sub. In a non-PSR world I'd happily have him assuming he's happy being the backup. But he's one of few players who we could potentially move on for a decent fee. Might be one where both parties are happy because I think he starts for mid table teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 If it is an injury I'd be weirdly happy with that. If he had be subbed by Howe, without that, after playing so few minutes this season, I could have seen him handing in a transfer request. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
