Of course he's a bit inconsistent, but he's young and you need to put up with that as a player develops and not gnash your teeth anytime he has a quiet game or makes a poor choice in a match. If Barnes was bringing his A game that we've seen in flashes every single week this season then he'd be close to a £100m player and Europe's biggest clubs would be circling like vultures.

StriderHiryu Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 Barnes I think would be a good choice to take to the Euros. Sancho, Sterling and Kane / someone else if he's still injured will be our front three, but there's always place for an impact sub to come on in the last 15/20 minutes. Barnes compared to some of the other names mentioned here like Redmond and Hudson-Odoi is better at coming off the bench and making a difference. Realistically if he went he might only get 45 minutes total football in the whole tournament, but if he comes on and provides an assist / scores in the last ten minutes of just one game, he might still justify his place. So in some ways Barnes' inexperience, naivety and raw nature could end up working for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimateWinner Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 (edited) He's got the second most assists in the league for an English player... if he carries on his form from the last few games then yes he definitely deserves to be in the squad.

Ric Flair Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 At the minute Sterling and Sancho are two of the best wide forwards in Europe and then Rashford was having his best season up until his injury. There's room for one more and Barnes is every bit as good as Hudson-Odoi who has been in a few squads. I might be missing other peripheral players and Grealish could operate wide left so it all depends on what Southgate wants in his squad. To make the Euros would require him to continue this run of goals and assists every game but it does seem he has hit a streak in 2020 so you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the release of the article is good news for us as it's motivation (if it was even needed) for Barnes to give 110% every game. He's on the cusp of the national team in a tournament year with several teammates already capped. A strong end to the season and he'll probably make it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and there's always someone who comes into a rich vein of form in the back-end of the season and ends up on the plane, why can't it be Barnes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 Even if he goes to the Euros as a squad player and doesn’t play, that would still be great. He’ll come back thinking “ i want more of this” and it will spur him on to greater things.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 You all realise right the moment a player gets in the England squad he then wants to leave via tapping up? So why would you want that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972 Fox Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 I think that before picking Harvey for the England squad, Southgate will first consult @jaylcfc94 for his opinion on whether he is good enough for a call up or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realjimbo Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 Unfortunately for Harvey, England are blessed with quite a few players in his position, so I'd put his chances at slim, however add finishes to the chances he gets and he'd be a shoe in. In 2 years I'd expect he'll have a handful of caps always assuming his progress doesn't do a Demarai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a bad season after, but what about those who left. If you think Barnes would pick us over Manchester United, Manchester City or Liverpool I think you in the land of fairy tales.

Nothing particularly new there, not normally one to shit on women's football (mostly because it's incredibly tedious when people do it) but the pressure and speculation of a transfer in women's football is absolutely nothing like what'd it be for say, Chilwell being linked with Chelsea. The difference in fee, pressure, column inches, expectation, profile etc are all vastly higher. Barnes and Chilwell haven't really linked up particularly well either, it's been a bit better recently but hardly a flourishing partnership.

I've watched plenty of women's football on the Beeb, and it is utter 5h1te. I'll continue watching, cos any football is better than no football, but it really is Sunday League at best. As for them expecting to be paid the same as men, you have to be joking. It's entertaining, same as Emmerdale is entertaining, but serious, passion inducing football? Never, and never will be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
