Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Richarlison and raphina went for 60m..... And Barnes has better stats than both of the, Has age on his side and a long term contract. I'm sure he's desperate to play up front with callum Wilson too....

I don't know why some of our fans have this tendency to undervalued and underrate our players. Harvey is a massive player for us and for any prospective buyers 2 1
brookfox Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Like I know we need to sell before we buy but this is getting too much now. Keep expecting to see a thread seeing Filbert linked to Newcastle or West Ham planning an audacious coup to buy the training ground. 1
Popular Post Corky Posted 24 July 2022 Popular Post Posted 24 July 2022 If we're going to sell the likes of Barnes I don't see what we're trying to achieve. Would we get anyone better? Plus we need a winger from the other side. Makes no sense. 9
Tielemans63 Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Harvey is a fantastic player when fit and firing. We shouldn't even consider this imho. Especially as we're already short of quality wingers so to sell our best one would be a mental move. 1
lcfc sheff Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Club shouldn’t entertain it at all, he’s not for sale. A fully fit Barnes, Vardy and Maddison could achieve great things 3

Not that I have a very strong view on Newcastle at all. Anyway, thought they were going to sign Messi/Ronaldo? And Newcastle why? Suddenly everyone is finding Newcastle "fantastic" - because they suddenly have money - although dirty. As you not fond of them

If we obtain a RM and a quality CB, we’ll be in excellent shape for this season. 3
Rusko187 Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 I’ve always had the perception of him being too inconsistent to be top level, but looking at the numbers I am now of the opinion that I’m wrong. I don’t particularly want to lose him, however if an extremely good fee came in then I just can’t see the club turning that down. 1

Nalis Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 These are the type of rumours I'm not too concerned with this summer. Next summer however, its exactly the type of transfer that could easily happen unfortunately.
justfoxes Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Young English player top quality can destroy defences at times But surely worth more than £50m ? Barnes can be frustrating but when on form can be unreal do we really want to sell a player than can only get better and if we did will this come back and bite us on the arse later, many say sell Barnes bring in Lookman but is he better only time can tell ?
An Sionnach Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 As he showed yesterday Barnes is a potentially lethal attacker and to me is more striker than winger but his defensive work is minimal. The rise of KDH has solidified our left hand side but if he moved to another team that weakness in his game might become very noticeable.
Lionator Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 He’s not going anywhere. It makes no sense to anyone. 1
Bazly Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 He is the only player we have who can drive a ball from the centre line to goal going past opposition players. He is the closest midfield player we have to a Mahrez without the fancy footwork.
ALC Fox Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Barnes is a high risk, high reward kind of player. They play the game differently but he's a bit like Sterling in that regard, and probably why both often get criminally underrated by some. While Sterling's 'annoying habit to some' is to keep hold of the ball for too long and appear to be quite selfish, Barnes' has been to either keep cutting inside and try to find a cutting-edge pass or shooting opportunity that isn't there (and often ending up passing back to KDH or whichever LB we're playing) or to try high-risk one-twos at pace. In both players' cases, they're being brave and trying to make things happen. When it doesn't come off and the team loses possession, that's when fans or spectators start claiming that they're rubbish and not good enough for the team. But they keep trying and that's why their stats are so good and why they're so valuable to the team. Barnes is so good. At his best he's simply unplayable. Defenders can't get near him. He simply has to stay. If Newcastle make an official bid, their email, WhatsApp, or fax should be responded to witb a 'No' and a laughing emoji about a minute later. (Can you fax an emoji?) One thing I've noticed about Barnes this pre-season is that he seems to consciously be trying to take players on on the outside more, with a fair amount of success. If he keeps that up, he's in for a monster season. In fact, judging from pre-season so far, I think the mentality of all the players has shifted a bit. Thet look hungry. I can't wait for the season to begin. 2
BKLFox Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 50-70m on paper looks great, cost nothing make £x’m and papers say Leicester have done it again and yes it’s money in the bank but that’s not our issue, it’s wages. Yes could sell and get lookman in for £14m leaving the rest of the fee for RW and potentially a young CB but we are still only going to be playing with what ever wage Barnes is on, & for purpose of point, let’s say £70k can we replace the hole he leaves and then get 1 of the other positions let alone both within Barnes current wage just to break even? Getting rid of a 1st teamer makes no sense except maybe Kasper due to him being on the biggest wage, it’s those 4 or 5 fringe players we need to get rid of and probably just for what we can get to free the wages to give us the flexibility. This report is a non starter for me and doubt the club would give it a 2nd thought either.
ARM1968 Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Genuinely don’t get this. Harvey is one of THE most productive wingers in the Premier League, and English. His stats slaughter the likes of Grealish. £50 million would seem way too cheap - plus I wouldn’t want to sell anyway. Stupid. 1
Md9 Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 If Barnes is sold to Newcastle it’s not going to help show other players like madders fofana etc we have any ambition for this season . We need to ship out the crap not first teamers. If we don’t sign anyone but keep everyone we want to keep them we have a decent chance of doing something this season. 1
Grebfromgrebland Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Maybe he want to be in the England squad? Newcastle would raise his profile. Personally I hope we never do business with the Saudis
lcfc sheff Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Realistically as well due to factors like having 3 years left on his contract, his form and fitness back to pre injury levels, his potential this to perhaps get into the England squad (maybe not for the World Cup) etc… there’s potential come next summer he’s worth £80-£100m similar to what happened with Grealish. I’ve said this before but In the Liverpool team or Man City team I don’t think he’d be out of place. Look at all the opportunities and chance he gets and creates for us! It would be even more around better players.
South Shire Fox Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 (edited) None of our first team players are leaving to go Newcastle, its just not going to happen. No matter how much people try and big them up because theyve signed a couple of decent defensive players they are still absolutely miles off it. Mid table would be a great season for them. In a few years with the right investment then maybe id be worried. Edited 24 July 2022 by South Shire Fox
Ian Nacho Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 At least if we did sell him we could replace him with a right winger.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 24 July 2022 Posted 24 July 2022 Barnes, when he's in a game, is box office. He makes full backs looks like little girls. Yes, he can only do one thing but he's pretty good at that one thing. If he became very good at that one thing he'd be bagging Sadio Mane or Raheem Sterling numbers.

This report is a non starter for me and doubt the club would give it a 2nd thought either. I don’t want to sell Barnes. As others have said it’d send out completely the wrong message to the rest of the squad. BUT… we CANT get rid of the fringe players, which brings us right back to the start of most the arguments this summer. It’s one thing to say we must offload the deadwood… doing it is the difficult part! We have crap players on big money that either no-one wants or their wages are too high. That gives us no choice, if we DO want to make changes this summer, than to think about selling players that other clubs are interested in. Of all of these, I’d look to offload Iheanacho. We paid a good sum of money for him, he’s not pulled up any trees, Daka and Vardy are above him in the pecking order and we might recoup what we paid. Barnes or Maddison… no way! They are the future of the club Edited 24 July 2022 by Col city fan
