Shak Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 A lot of deals are being done for much less than the initial rumoured prices, it seems. 25m for Barnes does seem particularly reasonable given his output, though. That said, if you take away his goals we're paying too much IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 That just reads like fluff from the Mail to keep the clicks rolling in. I'd be amazed if we tried to low ball Leicester if talks are advanced. I guess Arsenal did with Rice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 25 million bid is true, you would imagine there are a few achievable add ons included to take it up to around 35 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Tell you what, if we do get Barnes for £25m, then Spuds weren't that far away when they (allegedly) bid £50m for him AND Maddison! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGRM Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I'd be very surprised if we get Barnes for £25m. But, this would be the bargain of the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Tooner Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) 25m would be unbelievable business. I cant see him being offered more than double his current wages so just say it is 80k a week. That would be roughly 20m over a 5 year contract. So could only be a 9m hit from our transfer balance. Edited July 9, 2023 by Tina Tooner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price, it’s probably why the club/Ashworth, see it as an opportunistic move, rather than a priority move. A great year or two for us, posting similar numbers, and he’d still be only 27 (prime). Be worth £50m, and great for FFP further down the line, when we begin and are able to turn over the squad, like Chelsea/City do. All about squad building now.

Which I feel he could do consistently over a season. I just don’t see how Barnes starts for us in the big games. If this is a squad signing and he’s happy replacing Anderson’s and Ritchie’s minutes then fair enough but you want to be paying nearer £25m if you possibly can. Sounding like a £25m squad filler I was thinking it might be. No brainer if so… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I take my words back. 25m is fine. I would have him now. I was expecting 40m. 25m for a quality cover is fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Great signing. Yes pretty one dimensional but we're not in a position to be turning down opportunities like this. Thrilled tbh. Edited July 9, 2023 by Pixelphish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
