He won't be surplus to requirements unless they view his wages as too high for a understudy to Gordon. Remember, they signed Barnes 1st who thought he would be the 1st choice at LW. Now they have Gordon who is already better than him. It might be that Barnesy won't play second fiddle, and he's looking for a way out. Not very likely at all imo. 5 goals and 3 assists in 800 minutes is a decent return. I can't see why they would want rid.

If there is any truth in it, it'd probably be because both he and Gordon are at their best as left wingers which makes Barnes an expensive backup for where Newcastle are currently with their financials. Added to the fact he's an injury risk.

Added to the fact he's an injury risk. It sounds like it’s injuries, he’s barely kicked a ball. Plus, they’ve got Gordon who is better than him, so like you say he’s an expensive backup, which will restrict what they can do in the market. So, for them he’s one of the ones to offload so they can invest elsewhere. Its not a reflection on Barnes as a player, its modern football now thanks to PRS and FFP, like we need to let KDH go they too need to let players go, and it seems like Barnes is an obvious choice mainly thanks for a not starter of a first season.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 29 June 2024 Posted 29 June 2024 If we move to a double pivot and need a number 10 then Sammie Smozdics would be a great addition to play that role and bring goals and assists 3
UniFox21 Posted 29 June 2024 Posted 29 June 2024 Fofana scored 4 and assisted 1 in 15 games for a shit Burnley side. Only 21, so wouldn't be against the move 3

LestaLad Posted 30 June 2024 Posted 30 June 2024 Local Jordanian news is supposedly linking us to Mousa Tamari i’ve seen on X, I don’t know much truth is in it but worth a mention. 1

StriderHiryu Posted 3 July 2024 Posted 3 July 2024 Looks like he can use both feet but operates on the right wing.

His form soon dropped off though. Throughout the rest of the Ligue 1 season, he had a few other good performances scattered amongst a lot of average ones. He’d give us some added pace to whack teams on the counter attack though.
AjcW Posted 3 July 2024 Posted 3 July 2024 There would be nothing more Rudkin than having a player we could have got for free through creative accounting.... to then handing Montpellier 5-10m for him a year later. 1 1

Got called up for internationals with Jordan half way through season too tbf, I'm sure he scored in like the first 30 seconds against us in the ohl friendly 😅 good player though, if we got him & sosa for rotation we'll be laughing but I got a feeling knowing us it's him or sosa

But after watching him regularly for Montpellier, he is the type of player I’d take as a rotation option, but I wouldn’t be too bothered if he didn’t join. Ideally we need two wingers, Sosa is more a left sided player, while I’ve seen Al-Tamari play on both sides, but as Strider said, he is predominantly a right sided player 👍🏻 3
