Spiritwalker Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 If we do sign this guy I see him playing predominantly on the left when Maddison is fit. Barnes is badly out of form and needs to be taken out of the starting 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play him on the left are we still shoehorning Maddison on the right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when we sold Mahrez, the club got confused and instead of retiring his number, they retired his RW position instead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly or wrongly I think the thinking of the recruitment team with this transfer will be if we are going to spend 30-40M on a player if that player can also comfortably play both wingers and attacking midfield it adds extra options and cover more gaps that just being a right wing, rightly or wrongly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said he has played a fair few games as RW though, so hope dies last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fee, big wages, injury prone and according to Fiorentina fans he is better on the left than the right. Doesn't seem like the solution we need given all of our current issues. Would rather we spent 30m on Madueke if we were looking to spend big. Is he still coming though now that we are likely to relegate? Or a relegation clause will be needed?

On the right of a 4 2 3 1 or 4 3 3 with Madders in the 10/advance midfielder role like we used to play, although that might be too positive for Rodgers now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbles Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 If he comes here, id like to see him on the left for a game or two - might be what Barnes needs to realize he is replaceable, and get his head out of his a$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Barnes could do with a manager who could put his arm around his shoulder and get him back on track , but where would we fine one of those 🥴🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dave Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 I don’t think this one will happen. It said on the radio the other day that we have had a bid turned down, and that the player isn’t really convinced either. Not a promising start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top Italian journalists say personal terms are agreed, transfer fee is being negotiated. Also, Fiorentina are lining up Brekalo to replace him. Understand we’re feeling negative after the rubbish performance yesterday but this is more advanced than you suggest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 I predict he signs for a reported £30m, within less than a year he is rocking up to our first game of the league season at Plymouth, the crowd boos him, and fans have started calling him Ayoze. He starts to wonder if the pay rise was worth throwing his career away for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Can't see why he'd want to come here tbh. If he's watched any of our games this season need be a fool to want to join this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have won some games this season including including a couple 4 nil. So that's not strictly true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a player can so easily be desuaded, from taking on a Fullback because that Fullback is as quick as he is, then you can see that his temperament is not a strong one. Barking at him and berating him on the pitch is not going to help. Tough love results in two responses, you try to prove the detractor wrong or you end up going into yourself. He needs encouragement, little incentives on the pitch where we ask for an assist in the first half and one in the second is his goal for the game. Just change the way he approaches what he has to do, the onus will be on the striker not down to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
