hakka Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 His stats per 90 last 12 months is like the opposite of ASM interestingly. More goal and aerial threat, but less at carrying ball and creating chances. Harvey Barnes ASM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Wonder if Vardy being finished buggered up Barnes' assists. He got 20+ across the 3 prior seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather sign Barnes than Maddison, he's absolutely one of those players waiting for a good manager to happen for him. Really? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I don't think we're going to sell ASM for instance, we know we need another forward and i doubt we'll be able to buy one after Tonali and Barnes (if we sign him). I reckon ASM, Joel and Gordon offer options as back strikers, deep forwards or whatever, using them when needed saving us buying a striker to back up Isak and Wilson. Just a hunch like, but that scenario gives plenty of cover on both wings and cover up top. Eddie can mix and match as he see fits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a threat to the opposition due to his ability to get goals and provide assists. But he'll always get some flack when he doesn't track back or dribble past players at will. Certainly no ASM, but someone to get the goals and stretch the opposition defence. One player I was hoping (naively) that Leicester could hold onto.

He has outgained his xA a lot during his career, roughly 15 xA that somehow turned to 25 assists. Feel like some of that is down to Tielemans’ and Maddison’s shooting ability and Vardy’s running power without looking at them more deeply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 If he had played mainly RW I'd be all in. We just seem so well stocked at LW I don't get it and can't get excited. To my (ignorant) eyes LW seems arguably our position with the most strength in depth, don't all of the following class to some degree as LW players: ASM Gordon Joelinton Anderson Isak So depth seems good to excellent and only aided by the fact that they do slightly different and good things.

Maybe it's my dodgy memory but I'm struggling to remember him taking corners. Tended to be Albrighton or Madders. Quite rare too to see him given a free kick - players like Tielemans or Madders (or Fuchs back in the day) tended to pull rank. Got a fair shot on him if needed from range, so no reason he can't take the free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Is this a let’s sign him because he is available at a good price rather than we actually need him? Seems odd as we are pretty well stocked at left wing and other areas of the team need strengthening? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played through the middle before but predominantly on the left. Given the squad depth we need I hope this doesn't mean the end of ASM. I can also see Gordon impressing with England through the middle being a real boost and moving him into 3rd striker on our depth chart (I guess he was probably there anyway). Still need a RW though.
