Cronky Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I think there's a delay because Leicester would like to start an auction, but the player has made it clear that, of all the candidates, we're the only one he's interested in. We then feel we can afford to bid low and wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great window, entertainment wise! Every single day a juicy rumour it felt like and we enquired legitimately after so many players.

jack j Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Mebbes the likes of Edwards and hope have learnt their lesson cos they usually pile onto the back of a rumour like that. Don't think they said owt on it did they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, if it was a crock (as with Barella) we'd have probably told him the opposite. Not a dig at the local journalists, but they've become the least reliable sources going simply because we know the club tell them nothing or use them for our own ends.

Really does dilute their job role hugely during the transfer window. They're literally reporting our smokescreens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound like there's a fair way to go with this one, but if Romano and Steinberg are reporting talks are advanced we'll probably hear something over the next couple of days. Probably first bid rejected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, he's clearly been on Eddie's radar for a long time, I'm sure we'd love to do a deal, but whether we'll be able to come to an agreement with Leicester is another matter. Seems like Barnes is keen on making the move though so that gives us a significant advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly reputable professional journalists being compared to blokes who start rumours on social media for a bit of clout is a bit extreme like.

Holmesy Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I can see us aiming a lot higher than Barnes. Seems a bit of a sea change signing the Italy U21 captain from AC Milan and then going after a decent but nothing special, newly relegated winger. We're probably happy the rumour is out there and we're not denying it so reporters are thrown off the scent of who we're really after. Of course, if i'm wrong and we do sign him, he'll be England regular Harvey Barnes who has the potential to be world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
