What figure would you put on Barnes as being realistic ? I'm not a huge fan of Barnes, find him frustrating. That aside, you'd think £40m with English tax built in should be achievable despite the drop.
BenTheFox Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 30 minutes ago, Old Fox said: We will want £40m and won’t go cheap both him and Maddison could start preseason as it’s clear we will not sell cheap…both are English, young and under contract so don’t expect any quick moves……..going to be a long long summer and unsettled first month of the season… It depends though. The club may see it (rightly or wrongly) as better to get them sold as soon as possible even if it means they end up receiving a little bit less. They may think it is better to get money in as soon as possible to plug the holes left by the loss in revenue and to be able to reinvest into the squad quickly and not have an ongoing saga over the next ten weeks.
Foxin_Mad Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 (edited) They need to maximise the assets. End of the day Barnes has 2 years left, I don't think his wages is one of the highest. 25 million ain't worth selling, may as well keep him, let him rip the Championship apart and get straight back up claiming the 150 million promotion brings. Mediocre Championship players are selling for 10-15 million these days. I'd tell clubs to piss off, we'd be as well holding on to players if people are coming in with low bids especially if it Saudi FC. Edited 30 May 2023 by Foxin_Mad 4
Kinowe Soorie Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 £45 million plus. More goals than Gabriel Jesus this season. GJ went from Manchester City to Arsenal for £45 million, English tax. Barnes has been playing with inferior footballers.

Really annoying when the likes of Agbonlahor can gloat and say we will have your best players on the cheap. Villa biggest club in the Midlands , well they have just qualified for the Conference League 🙄

Clever Fox Posted 30 May 2023 Posted 30 May 2023 His Goals scored has to be worth 40 + million to whoever wants him. I wouldn't let him go cheap. 2

Rodgers's remarks about players thinking that they are too good for this club were all deflection so far as I can see. There are genuine players in this club, who have been subjected to Rodgers for too long and his psychological warfare against the club's hierarchy.

CloudFox Posted 1 June 2023 Posted 1 June 2023 £40m, minimum. He would tear up the Championship, and with 2 years to go, I'd rather we only lose him for a big fee. 2
Popular Post wardyfox86 Posted 1 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 1 June 2023 I wonder what people's opinion of our next winger will be, if they don't rate somebody who consistently posts double figures in a poor side in the top division. These people deserve Demarai Gray 10 3
Popular Post EnderbyFox Posted 1 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 1 June 2023 Didn't Everton pay £20m+ for relegated Dwight McNeil who had 0 goals + 1 assists that season? Barnes is worth at least double that, 30m would be ridiculously low for someone with his returns 6 2
iancognito Posted 1 June 2023 Posted 1 June 2023 His numbers would put him at £40m. If there's 3 or 4 interested in him, someone will pay. Same applies to Maddison. That's just logic. Even if it drags on there's about 20 pitches at Seagrave where they can train alone until it's settled.
AKCJ Posted 1 June 2023 Posted 1 June 2023 40m plus easily. No chance we bend over for that low of a fee. 1

But he has 0 tactical awareness, I find Harvey so frustrating to watch, he genuinely has the ability to be one of the best wingers in the prem, he just doesn’t have the brain to go with the ability. 5

Have always thought the same.. has never linked well with any of our fullbacks.. takes up poor positions.. goes missing for long periods.. but, with the right manager/coach there is a 20 goal a season player in there.. mad isnt it

Seems to take him 2-3 seconds to realise what he needs to do, by then your man has gone past you or you’ve lost the ball. his first touch is horrendous & his postioning in both phases of the game are awful. But he delivers and that’s why he’s a key player to the team and worth his chunk in gold. I get more frustrated with Harvey because of what he could be rather than what he is. 4

MPH Posted 1 June 2023 Posted 1 June 2023 People saying they don’t rate Barnes is a Mystery to me. he was our top scorer last season with 13 goals. For a winger, in a relegated team, that’s a brilliant return. he scored more goals than Nacho, Daka and Vardy combined. 1

People want Barnes to be a unicorn of a player— what you want Barnes to be doesn’t exist. Edited 1 June 2023 by The_77
MPH Posted 1 June 2023 Posted 1 June 2023 It’s great that 4-5 clubs are interested in him- sell to the highest bidder!! it also makes the criticism of him look more reactionary and hyperbolic in nature when we see so many other clubs want him. 3

Barnes is worth at least double that, 30m would be ridiculously low for someone with his returns ...the biggest surprise with Barnes is the numbers he posts every season!!! With the naked eye, you do not see him dominating games taking any initiative and single-handedly winning games, but he gets his numbers of goals and assists. He struggles to beat his man, and if you can match him he is at a loss of what to do, he drifts out of games constantly and his only way of getting around his defender is a one-two which gets him in. He is an enigma, what you see throughout the season, is never reflected in his figures.
