I guess it's all part of the general charade, but it's amazing how this stuff becomes 'the truth' really quickly.  For example, someone was discussing Alan Shearer earlier, and that he allegedly held the FA to ransom after he kicked Lennon in the face - I decided not to comment, because a) it could easily appear argumentative and b) life is too short anyway, but I do wonder if that's actually what happened, or if it's just folklore without basis.

I rate McGuire (bit less lately) but even now I'd rate Barnes as being worth more and in a few years the gap might grow bigger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you in as much as the best managers including I think BR , realise keeping players happy is a big and important part of the job. Arsenal still have Ozil but he's not doing a lot altho I think thats a complicated man management issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue for us is, Tielemans deserves to be on at least that and then we need to sort new deals for Ricardo (probably another who warrants that sort of figure) and Soyuncu. Barnes for now should probably get a new deal on £60k + bonuses but then again what has Maddison done for us that Barnes hasn't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 5 January 2021 Share Posted 5 January 2021 Barnes is one I think isn't that keen on moving on. He's a local lad and a boyhood fan. Â Qualifying for the Champions League strengthens our hand, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promote from within (KDH etc.) and we’re in a good place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 9 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 9 January 2021 9 goals for the season now. Another very good performance, and not just because of his goal. Lots of great runs, his ability to carry the ball is very impressive.

Harvey was restricted at times today by a good defensive performance from Souttar, but he persevered and was rewarded with a deserved goal. As you say, he gets better and better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 9 January 2021 Share Posted 9 January 2021 I think there is so much more to come. He can drift out of games. But when he goes for it, more often than not, things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
