SUPERTOON Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 4 minutes ago, The Prophet said: To be fair Fab, the Gaurdian and a couple of other outlets had said this was advanced. The Telegraph even doubled down at the end of last week. It very much sounds like our interest is genuine and Barnes wants the move, but something doesn't add up. Didn’t the telegraph say we were close to signing him, and were going to complete it last week, despite us never actually bidding ? The exact same thing they did with Barella and Livramento.

Cronky Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 9 hours ago, The Prophet said: Hit and miss source, but an update of sorts... I wouldn't be surprised if ASM is not at all keen on the move. This is a player who not so long ago had the stated ambition of winning the Ballon D'Or. Now at 26, he faces being shunted into the Elephants' Graveyard. I can imagine that his ego would much prefer to go to Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASM always comes across as a smart bloke for me - and this would only make me like him more (and I’m sure my liking of him is a massive motivator!) I don’t rate him as highly as a footballer as he does or many on here do, but I do think he’s basically a good gadgie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon88 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Just want this done. It’s pretty tedious now. Everyone and their dog knows this is going to happen. I’ve pretty much moved on from this deal. It’s a good, opportunistic move, at a good price. Big upgrade on ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
