Bob Hazels shorts Posted 10 October 2018 Share Posted 10 October 2018 (edited) I've always assumed players are loaned out by the club to develop. Truth is Harvey's and other agents have to badger the club to be allowed to go out on loan, its not a moment of magic by the club. He wont want to rush back. Few, if any want to stick about either not playing or U23s. Massively increases their value and their remuneration as is evident. ....with the exception of Benny who nobody wants Edited 10 October 2018 by Bob Hazels shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 10 October 2018 Share Posted 10 October 2018 Barnes is playing for a better team than Maddison did, and he's playing as a number 10, whereas Maddison was a box-to-box midfielder. But nonetheless Barnes will beat Maddison's goals and equal his assists for last season based on current form. Barnes: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331382/History/Harvey-Barnes Maddison: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/137015/History/James-Maddison Maddison was much higher up on passing, key passes and tackles though. Given Maddison is currently a better passer and a better key passer and is better defensively I still hold some hope we can play them together.

Bob Hazels shorts Posted 10 October 2018 Share Posted 10 October 2018 Never let it be said I'm a smart arse!! Dropped lots of t'clues about him going to Leeds. He was all set. Suspect a little too far away. Lived in Sheffield whilst at Barnsley allegedly and no doubt wants to live in his impressive house he has allegedly bought here. Harvey Barnes Bob Hazels shorts replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum Great move if it is West Brom. Leeds were in, still might be I guess but no doubt down to terms if not. Two big clubs though. Great development opportunity. 23 July 550 replies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd move Maddison to the right into the 8 role and bring Barnes into the 10 role. This would give us a much better balance to the midfield with huge attacking options plus goals galore from different areas. The future is looking so good for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwyn Posted 11 October 2018 Share Posted 11 October 2018 (edited) I would have thought consistency would be what we are looking for?? Seems like we are all jumping the gun a little. Season loan. Edited 11 October 2018 by Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively we’d concede far too many with both playing centrally unless we played a diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 11 October 2018 Share Posted 11 October 2018 Can't see Maddison as a CM in the PL, doesn't have the legs for it at moment and defensively not good enough, as demonstrated by being turned inside for the second goal against Everton. Leave Barnes to develop, give him a year at that level to boost his confidence and experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As horrible as it is to lose, that was a special skill and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
