Then there is a discussion to be had. If we are making bold statement about x y z player then I'll measure it in years and not months. It's also relative, what would Heskey have done in this team? Let alone a 23 year old Heskey. And just to clarify, I've only joined this since you said "Barnes is clearly better than Heskey was and much better than Joachim." I have no idea how this started or what else has been said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe gets the inconsistent tag because he wasn't a prolific scorer but watch back any highlights from that time and it's staggering how many goals he was involved in. Loved Heskey and love Barnes too! I was too young to remember Heskley in a City shirt really but during lockdown I've watched a lot of past season reviews and there were defenders, including top defenders, that couldn't handle Heskey. My favourite assists of his was probably where rolled Sol Campbell, a superb defender, with ease at White Hart Lane (I think it was away) and put the ball on a place for Cottee. As I've said before, people forget just how good players were. Not just at Leicester but in general when people try and compare players.

TeaMen Tom Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 2 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: Absolutely necessarily, he's currently our best player and probably worth around 60m given he's English. As the man most likely to take over from Vardy as our primary offensive outlet, we've got to tie him up! Might be worth more than that if he keeps putting the ball in the net. On his game he's a handful for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes could be a 15 goal / 10 assist a season wide forward, and those players are some of the most highly coveted in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 10 hours ago, moore_94 said: Leicester are in advanced talks over a new deal with Harvey Barnes as they look to fend off interest from a growing number of clubs. The 23-year-old has been one of the Foxes’ star performers this season and the club want to reward his progress by bringing him into line with other top earners. Barnes, whose side face Arsenal today, has scored 13 goals and chipped in with four assists, and become an integral part of Brendan Rodgers’ plans. Manchester United and Liverpool have both had the midfielder watched, and Leicester want to nip speculation over his future in the bud by tying him down long term to the King Power Stadium. The player came through the ranks at the East Midlands club and is happy there, and is ready to commit to the new deal. His current deal has three years to run from the end of this season but does not reflect his status at the club. Fully deserved. He’s in pole position for my player of the season at the minute.

King of Gipsy Lane Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 His contract will need to be huge I suspect to really ward off the super clubs , he is the find of the season across the league for me , let’s get him on a new 5 year deal with £150/200m buy out clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the recovery time estimate is accurate, he would probably miss only about 4 league games (of course it might also take a up to a couple of weeks to shake off the rust), since we have a 2-week international break coming up.

Kings_knockaers Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 6 minutes ago, UniFox21 said: Gutting news. Would take 6 weeks. It didn’t look good, right now I think 6 weeks would be an absolute result. Whilst not helping us for much of this season, it would be massive for next season and is also less risky in terms of genuine 100% recovery. I think more likely to be 3 months. I’m not an expert, but It didn’t have the hallmarks of an ACL like the others I have seen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully understand that and obviously agree to a certain extent, but they’ve been very quick to decide what needs to be done here.
