I'd be happy with even £30million for him. ...he is English, and he has had productive seasons in the Premier League, like it or not there is an English premium!!! You may not consider his value to be around the £60m mark, but it won't be far wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 Got a feeling he goes this summer, regardless if we stay up or not. £50m if we go down. Perhaps the club will be able to wrangle another £10-15m if we stay up. But I imagine his agent will do a lot of heavy lifting to get him to a club that's in the top half or possibly in Europe. It's a shame, as it'd be good to keep at least one star after Maddison, Tielemans, Soyuncu all indefinitely leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of that figure imo if we go down then we may squeeze £30m if we stay up then perhaps £40m/45m he can play out the next year and then we’re buggered with only a year left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stadt Posted 25 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 May 2023 (edited) I think a lot of our fans have no idea of what that market is like these days. Barnes is 25, English and consistently put some of the best non-big 6 numbers for years now. Richarlison moved for £60m last year. Richarlison has 0.30 goals per 90 in the PL and 0.11 assists, Barnes for comparison has 0.31 and 0.23 respectively. Barnes has scored and assisted more frequently than more expensive signings like Mudryk, Pepe and even Grealish. The most valuable thing in football is scoring goals and Barnes is good at it. £50m is absolutely fair. Edited 26 May 2023 by Stadt 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time Barnes didn't match or outscore that total in single season was 2017-18 when he was at Barnsley. We should snap anybody's hands off for £30m though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 Sell him for £50mill, offer Watford less than half that for Sarr (1 year left) and then we can spend the rest of time speculating on who our new LEFT winger will be every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gerard Posted 25 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 May 2023 7 hours ago, Finnegan said: 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. I've seen Maddison also take loads of flak on twitter and how some people can't wait for him to leave. Those who'll be glad to see Maddison and Barnes go are morons IMO, wait to see who we replace them with and come back to me. Both are top six players as even this season their stats will concur. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 Well if we're getting 50 for Barnes and presumably a bit more for Maddison we've got £100mill+ to rebuild before we dip into any other funds. It's not a terrible situation. In fact, it's probably the kind of situation that makes Flair and Moore quite moist at the prospect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 2 years left on his contract, multiple clubs interested, we really should be holding out for £50m+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think two years is the pivot point when it's neutral who has the whip hand between player and club. £50m for a player who is 25 is generally very good business, this is probably their peak value and it's not bad business to sell any player at their peak value for a club like ours. One thing is for sure even if we stay up we're not that club anymore, the club that can disrupt the elite clubs. We need to get back to basics and being a well run club with a great scouting team who can pick up young talent and develop it and sell it on, rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 26 May 2023 Share Posted 26 May 2023 (edited) Maddison 50M, Barnes will be close to that he’s also got another two years on his contract. Scores goals and would definitely improve at a better club. Edited 26 May 2023 by dannythefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sampson Posted 26 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 26 May 2023 Yeah, people have really warped views about the quality of wingers outside the "big 6" if they think Barnes is only worth £30mil. Barnes is about as good a winger as you can get for a non-"big 6" side, players who have that kind of output are so rare. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 26 May 2023 Share Posted 26 May 2023 From the Championship is a bit warped when they've dropped into the league. I mean we paid what £17mil for Maguire about 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 26 May 2023 Share Posted 26 May 2023 Personally think if its only 30m we should just keep him... the following year it might drop to 15m but for what he offers in the championship... well worth 15m imo! 50m or feck off imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frany104 Posted 26 May 2023 Share Posted 26 May 2023 The hate Barnes gets is ridiculous. He’s one a very few creative players we have and this is the main reason he is frustrating. When he’s gone and we don’t replace him all you idiots calling for him to go for £20 mill will look stupid. He’s a £50 million footballer minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 26 May 2023 Share Posted 26 May 2023 £50m rated doesn't mean £50m price. I rate myself at about £30m and I haven't kicked a ball in about 10 years. We will get about £30-35m for him if we go down, and we should snap their hand off for it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw II Posted 26 May 2023 Share Posted 26 May 2023 English and capable of 10-15 goals a season. He is at least a £30m player probably a lot more. It’s a bit like Ward Prowse - someone low risk as you know they are more than capable in the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
