JP Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Find this tweet remarkable considering he's the one that peddled Nmecha, Livramento and Barnes. 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...
Whitley mag Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Not a priority signing would be my guess and they’re currently working on something else. They like a lot of players but if something better is available and they can do a deal, they’ve shown they’ll be flexible and change course in an instant.

Decent ? he's better than decent his goals and assists are up there with the best lad. I'd call miggy decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see if he joins. Other than Maxi i don't think any of our wingers cut it at this level and need to be replaced. I'm not sure Barnes elevates that level much at all.

Mental that anyone would think he wouldn't elevate our level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Priority has to be LB and CB for me. So thin on quality beyond our usual starters in those areas Edited July 10, 2023 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Rb over Lb for me. We’ve got 2 PL quality left-backs and only 1 (albeit world-class) PL level right-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
