Yorkie Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 32 minutes ago, GeordieDazzler said: The Leicester winger is Eddie Howe’s primary target, after the arrival of midfielder Sandro Tonali for £55 million from AC Milan. If the move for Barnes is concluded — and the player is said to be keen on a switch to St James’ Park — is believed that Newcastle will have spent their net transfer budget for this summer. They would then be relying on player sales to generate further income, because of the constraints of Financial Fair Play (FFP). If that's true then I'm firmly off the fence and into the sell Maxi camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 So the £75m budget wouldn’t be far off. Ffp is such a load of bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I’m a big fan of Barnes and think he would be a good signing, I would find it a bit odd if we did use the remaining of our budget on him though. Especially with far more pressing needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 While I agree we have more pressing positional needs than left wing it's worth acknowledging that signing a player in one position does free up others elsewhere. It makes Joelinton a more regular option in midfield, it pushes Isak towards centre forward, probably pushes Gordon across to the right. Hell it might even mean Maxi could play on the right instead. When you have an adaptable squad and manager you can add strength and depth without becoming fixated on very specific positions. All that being said - I still think if Barnes comes in it would mean ASM would go. Which would effectively fund defensive reinforcements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with this - if isak gets burned out mid season and Wilson picks up his annual injury then we’re fucked. We have a lot of games coming at us next season, rather than barnes we really could have done with another striker.

British - easy £20m nowadays in the market None it matters cos he ain’t going nowhere. ASM is the asset we will get rid of. I mean, he scored four, so that is technically goals. Split the difference and say 15m with bonuses. I'm basing that on where the market is at. Teams in Europe aren't throwing around daft money.

He scored two in one game, how did you think he'd only scored two all season? Anyway he's improved as the season's gone on, he's 28 and English, £12m or even £15m would be insanely low fees.

It's nonsense. I think we have another 30-40m player even if we sign barnes. Then looking at a couple of cheaper deals or loan to buy. We will spend on a decent LB or CB. Maybe both. Not convinced we don't want another right sided player too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
