HankMarvin Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 West Ham and Aston Villa are interested in Leicester's £50m-rated forward Harvey Barnes, with the England international unlikely to stay with the Foxes even if they avoid relegation https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12117173/West-Ham-Aston-Villa-interested-Leicesters-50m-rated-forward-Harvey-Barnes.html#article-12117173 WEST HAM have identified Leeds midfielder Jack Harrison and Leicester's Harvey Barnes as summer transfer targets. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22466994/west-ham-transfer-relegation-battlers-harrison-barnes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 Have your arm off at £50m. Think he's a good player but absolutely not irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 50million is a joke! he ain't worth that much relegated or not. I'd be happy with even £30million for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 Incredibly limited winger, take anything north of £30m and run! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 It take the 50 million. I really rate Barnes but we can’t turn down that money for an inconsistent player. We could get 2 good wingers for that money and even the squad out a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 English tax probably makes him 50+. I'm glad people like Leicesterpool aren't in charge of our transfers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 Will move to someone like Villa and carry on being one of the few wingers outside of the big 6 who regularly gets 15+ goal contributions a season Hopefully we manage to get a good fee for him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 (edited) Off to Newcastle according to nothing more than a chinese whisper so don’t lump on. Doesn’t seem an Eddie Howe type player to me although wherever he goes he’s going to have to up the defensive side of his game Edited 24 May 2023 by Mike Oxlong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really a winger though is he? Wingers actually take people on. Barnes doesn't. He's averaging less than 1 successful take-on per game this season. Less than KDH and Tielemans, and only marginally more than Mendy. Barnes is more of a supplementary forward. A very good one. But he's not a winger. Successful take-ons per 90 Tetê 2.44 Maddison 1.62 Iheanacho 1.62 Dewsbury-Hall 1.57 Perez 1.43 Tielemans 1.00 Fofana 1.00 Barnes 0.89 Mendy 0.85 Edited 24 May 2023 by SouthStandUpperTier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCJohn Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 Will go elsewhere and be an absolute beast. Would probably have to be happy with £50mill as we are just going to get stripped of any assets we do have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 I think he'll get sold, but how do you replace his output? Especially if Maddison also leaves! If we stay in the division we will be fighting relegation again for sure because the squad will be absolutely decimated and the attacking output we do have will be gone. If we go down then without some significant signings I don't see how we challenge to get back up. Though I think it would be easier to build a side that could compete to go back up than it will be to make a team that has a good chance of beating relegation. What a mess the club got itself into! All through our own doing too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hazels shorts Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 Close family ties and about to become a father after moving to Woodlouse following a lengthy house search. His current contract was/is worth £25m + boot sponsorship etc, so doesn't have to compromise for wonga. He will move to a commutable club and one that with his limited ability (on his average showing here) he will get a game. VILLA obvious choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All through our own doing too... Lookman was by far our best left winger (less so right) in his time here Barnes should've been sold post injury when the hype was electric (LFC?) and Lookman who arrived the same August bought for £15m Losing Lookiman and tripling Barnes contract £££ and only extending by 12 months was insane 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downside is its unlikely we'd find a replacement who would be peak Barnes at that price of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Finnegan Posted 25 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 May 2023 If we stay up, he stays. If we go down we sell. Think it's that straightforward with Barnes. 50 would be extremely low. People who think it's a lot of money are basing this on their own personal bias because they find him occasionally frustrating to watch. His goal and assist contributions are ridiculous for a player outside the Big 6. He's comfortably out performed his per 90 xG more than the rest of our forwards. He's been noticeably more accurate this year than Vardy or Iheanacho. He's also kept up a very consistent level of contribution every year he's been in the first team. I'm honestly baffled by how consistently under rated he is by our own fans. But then half of you still sleep on how good Vardy ACTUALLY is / was. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Anthony Knockaert still an absolute baller in the Championship and the Championship only and does he want to come back and torment Huddersfield some more? Edit: hahahaha I just checked and he's actually at Huddersfield. Brilliant. He can't score worldies against you if you sign him. 1000 IQ move.
