He's just had his best goalscoring season in the PL. He'd score 20 and assist 15 in the Championship with his eyes closed.

Handy as that’s how he looks like he’s playing for large parts of most games

The 3 could get decent numbers but none are tearing up the championship.

 

Barnes too inconsistent 

Vardy too old

Daka too crap

Have you looked at last seasons goalscoring charts from the championship... absolute muck knocking in 20 goals in that league. 

[foxinsocks]

I think we should keep barnes  - offer him an extension now - and if he doesn't sign we sell him next summer.

You know this for definite or just like all of us. Guess work?

I know Sean from Enderby is full of shit.

[FrankieADZ]

tbf if he wanted to stay thats great(least be right, no one on here truly knows)
of course his wage will be reduced, if we didnt go up this coming season sell him next summer

[Sussex Fox]

He's being linked with a transfer to Wet Spam Utd - perhaps we should ask for Benrahma in part exchange.

all proven bar Daka in the Prem and I would add Nacho as a proven goalscorer, so we should be looking to hold all 3/4 if possible as that's what will get us out the league by alot of goals

Mitrovic proved far too good for Championship defenders but he was unusual , he stayed at Fulham. Most strikers with relegated clubs are snapped up quickly if they have had decent seasons. Barnes would get 20 goals with a top PL club but then he would have the quality around him , at the moment that would not be the case with us. If he wants to play with class players , we can't offer him that . The money is obviously paramount though.

Mitrovic is a very unique case as he comes with a lot of discipline issues on the pitch that would scare off plenty of potential suitors.

I do wonder whether he’s a bit one dimension for the top top teams…?

Absolutely spot on this point 👍

[cropstonfox]

Did not score against the top six.

If he didn't beat his man in the first 10 mins

Then he disappeared for the rest of the game.

May benefit us and his own development with a year in the Championship, starting

Down the middle on occasions.

Scored against Brighton.

Do you know how rare it is to find a left winger that scores 13 goals. 

 

To add to that an English winger.

 

Why do some on here insist on talking about all our academy players like shit? It's as if they think because they've lived in Barwell or Beaumont Leys they should be mugging pensioners on street corners instead of playing football.

That’s a good first effort.  But limericks generally are a little shorter … and they rhyme.  Perhaps

 

At City a winger named Harvey,

could vanish or seem a bit mardy.

He likely wants gone,

but if he stays on,

The fans will still rag on him, largely.

scored more goals than our 3 strikers- Vardy. nacho and Daka combined. Not bad for a winger, really…

[Foxin_Mad]

50 million to West Ham now then. 

[Finnegan]

Hopefully we do the sensible thing and apply the "you just got 100m" tax. 

 

60m+ please chaps. 

[Muzzy_no7]

50m MINIMUM. 

[Lcfc-1992]

40 minimum now they’ve sold Rice for over 100, hopefully we push for more.

[lcfcsnow]

Barnes doesn't come across at the type to handle a big transfer fee. Oh well 

[westernpark]

45 million is fair with some add ons. Don’t want this one to drag, but at least he has two years left, rather than one.

We’ve gotta fleece them now they’ve just got 100m.

[glebe_sydneyfox]

£45mil is reasonable business.

As much as I don't want him to leave he will be an asset for a team like the Hammers.
