Finnegan Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 You can almost imagine the conversation that took place earlier in the week. "Eh, crown prince, you think anyone will find it weird if we buy ASM from ourselves for 100m Euros and then sign Kvaradona?"

If this is allowed top flight football is done To be fair, Saudi clubs have been spending more than this on inferior players this summer, I still cannot get over them paying us what we paid for Ahmed Musa either 😂😂😂

Foxin_Mad Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 (edited) Surely if these Geordie Saudi Bell pieces view Barnes as an 'upgrade' and ASM is worth 40m, that now values Barnes at 60m. Stupid pricks! Edited 18 July 2023 by Foxin_Mad
st albans fox Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 (edited) Lots of chips on lots of shoulders ask a group of football fans what they value ASM and Barnes at and I reckon there isn’t much difference, because we are relegated and barnes won’t sign a new deal in any event, his price is suppressed a bit. if we get to £40m with add ons then I think we’ve done well in the circumstances Edited 18 July 2023 by st albans fox 3

He has 2 years left so doesn't actually HAVE to go. 40m is I think a reasonable price with probably 10m add ons based on champions league, top 4 etc. I think that Newcastle suggesting ASM is 40m worth of player is a bit silly and unrealistic. That said if it allows us to move on and get our business done that so be it. If we can shift Castagne, Praet, Ndidi, Soumare, and somehow ditch Ward and Vestergard we are almost there!

I think barnes’ stats are skewed a bit because he’s been our only effective winger for the past few years - hence we directed most of our attacks through him I would accept the injury issue with ASM but Saudi clubs wont be putting the same playing stresses on players as here. Barnes has two years left but he won’t sign a new deal. Waiting until next summer will bring his value lower (especially so if we don’t go up) 1

Let's not get it twisted, many a team in the Prem would want Barnes, he scored more than some/most prem strikers in the League last year. More than most wingers too. We don't get bullied in transfer negotiations, the evidence is there. Pay what we want if a club really does want him or don't have the player. If he stays he tears it up in the Championship and helps us get promoted... 4

LestaLad Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 Tom Collomosse is usually very reliable when it comes to us so if he’s saying it’s about done then I won’t be expecting him on that plane..
