Dahnsouff Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Just now, Foxes96 said: Then we just don’t sell surely? Unless we have to.. Should set our stall out for £50m, and then anything around £40m with add ons would do I hope we can play it tough, but I worry the Championship stigma drops price far more than I hoped, but Maddison was different being the in the last year I guess If both Harvey and Maddison has 2 years left, would Maddison have gone for more? I think definitely, 100% So I just am not sure if the extra year for Harvey offsets the higher base value of Maddison. 1
Fox 4 Life Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 He is contracted until 2028 isn't he, in which case they can pay at least half of that Rice money. Let's hardball like they did to Arsenal.

Edingleyfox Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Having seen Madders go cheaply I wouldn’t accept less than £50 million cash for him. Forget add ons and a pathetic offer. We need to be adding wingers not selling and he would probably get 15 goals plus in Championship.He did well for WBA but he is a far better player now
Dahnsouff Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Is he a Maresca type winger I wonder? (Stop it, for the sake of this discussion he is not a striker. )
Lionator Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Liquor stores in East London will be very excited. 3
Brainy Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Personally hope we play hardball with this one and if he's still here come September then so be it.
Ricey Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Play hardball. If Gordon is £45M, then Barnes is worth over £50M. 2 years left on his contract and the kind of player that wouldn’t kick up a fuss if he had to stay. If we can shift others, Like Castagne, Soumare, Vestergaard, Praet etc then it lessens the need to sell Barnes and strengthens our position. 1

When Barnes is not on it, he can have very poor games. sounds like maddison to me, goes missing just as often as Barnes

FrankieADZ Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 as stated already we should pay hardball with whu, theyve just got £100mil for Rice, Barnes has 2yrs left on his deal, so id be very disappointed if we didnt get more than we got with Maddison 1

Gordon is 22 so can be sold for a big whack in four years Barnes is 25 so his next sale has a ceiling

Clarkey123 Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 £40 mil from West Ham is a fair deal. Anything less and anyone involved in brokering the deal should find a new career.
Leicesterpool Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 It's possible we could hold West Ham to ransom on this one, we've sold Maddison for a quite sum. So the asking price for Barnes we can stretch out. Won't be surprised if West Ham will trying bidding as low as £25million, let's try 60million. Make it known we're not looking to sell. Nothing coming out of the Barnes camp yet, he's asking to leave. If they want him then get to tempt us. We don't sell Barnes the win, win. Got a quality player in the championship sell him late on in the window then huge profit coming our way, but must allow enough time to get a replacement in.
ALC Fox Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Fvcking West Ham, man. Absolutely reeks of p!ss and sh!t, this one. Absolutely foul.
Leicesterpool Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 Won't be surprised if Villa and Newcastle join the race.
ALC Fox Posted 30 June 2023 Posted 30 June 2023 If we can afford his wages and he isn't going to go full Mahrez, I'd be willing to take the hit on the larger fee this season, keep him to help us go up, then sell him to an actual top 10 team with a year left on his contract if he still wants to leave. 1
