Theres been enough bids for him over the last few years so im not sure ‘theres a reason hes still at Watford’ really cuts it tbh Thats your opinion, and that's fair enough. I maintain that in my opinion, if he was any good he wouldn't still be at Watford. Also in my opinion of watching him numerous times, Championship is about his level. Maybe if we go down he might be an option, but even then, I wouldn't be for it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got about 10 goals and 6 assists in 2 seasons in the PL and I think the lad takes penalties. I'm torn on him. I'd certainly baulk at anything over £20m.

I know but even then Barnes has 52 goal involvements in 130 Premier League games which is a very similar ratio to Sarrs 18 involvements in 50 games (with Sarr being in dire Watford teams) . I personally think him and Barnes flying down both wings would make us a very dangerous side Edited 17 January 2023 by South Shire Fox 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're more likely to sign Josh Low in the next two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at a critical point though that even if that were the case, we cannot risk waiting another 2 weeks to get the deal done. In that time we'll have played another couple of PL games and every game from now until the end of the season is monumental.

I’m not super sold on Nico, looks too slow and lacks a bit of strength, but most importantly, seems to try to do too much with the ball before losing it. I think we have enough of those players for now. Really need some pace on the right wing to help balance Harvey and then someone who can progress it through the middle more quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 17 January 2023 Share Posted 17 January 2023 My concern with this is that we’ve basically shown the world our financial ceiling for this window… it looks like unless we’re able to really haggle a good deal we’re going to have to break our transfer record….. So really, this has got to work…. Or it’s a loan move for someone rotting on a bench somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesfan98 Posted 18 January 2023 Share Posted 18 January 2023 Di Marzio just tweeted Fiorentina have rejected our final offer and we'll be moving onto other targets. So basically we've wasted a week of the transfer window trying to negotiate when it was obvious we'd never be able to pay what they wanted. If we aren't able to get a RW in time before the window closes because of this then Rudkin needs to be sacked on the spot. With Ouattara and Tsygankov already on the move, our only hope now is that we can get Madueke for £30m and hope his injury problems are behind him.

Vindaloo FOX Posted 18 January 2023 Share Posted 18 January 2023 Go out and get Dan Ndoye instead. Still pretty raw but a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 18 January 2023 Share Posted 18 January 2023 Translation of the Di Marzio article for anyone keen to fully acquaint themselves with the misery: "Nico Gonzalez remains in Florence. After Joe Barone's [their General Manager] words before the match against Roma, Leicester presented a new offer in the last hours, but Fiorentina said no. The English club has given up the purchase of the 1998-born Argentine and will focus on other targets. Recall that Leicester had initially presented an offer of around 30 million pounds (around 34 million euros) to Fiorentina." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
