W7Fox Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I liked Harvey and am disappointed we’ve sold a home-grown player to Oil FC but £40M feels like a decent chunk given our current position. At times, he was fanatic for us but in equal measure incredibly frustrating to watch due to his lack of composure and end product - which tbf he had improved over the last couple of seasons. He did have a tendency to go missing in games and can be easily marked out of games if there’s no space in behind the defence for him to run into. Aside from him being proven in the league and relatively low transfers fee, I’m not sure it’s a great signing for Newcastle. Good luck Harvey.

SK3Blue Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 (edited) Think we've had the best out of Barnes, took him ages to learn how to track back, then he opted out of doing it, and when he went missing in games he was frustrating to say the least. Lots of positives for the lad but I'd like to see a replacement that has some tenacity and generally shows himself to want the ball and get involved more often. Be interesting to see if Newcastle can keep him out of the pubs and clubs as he seems to like a pint or six. Good luck to him.

shailen Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 £40m is decent for a good winger but one who blows hot and cold. On his day he is fantastic and unplayable but in our position, I'm happy with the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Reasonable price. Long as it's reinvested correctly and we don't buy a load of tripe. With our recent recruitment business of recent seasons it's probable some of it is going to get wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebluefox85 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Misses more than he converts probably one of the most frustrating players we had at City in a long time potential Is there but he just can’t take a man on if he scored half the ones he misses he would be a 120m player but I think 40m is great and goes into reinvestment just soumare vesty nacho daka ward and praet to get rid of now 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Borges , Mavididi, Zian Flemming and Amad Diallo if we are serious about winning the league. We need these players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RowlattsFox Posted 20 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 20 July 2023 I don't know if it's because we've been relegated or I'm just falling out of love with all but I don't care when a player leaves any more. Even if it's a player like Barnes. Always frustrated the hell out of me with how limited he is but would pop with a goal. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleckneymike Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 As with all the sales and outgoings the money is ok but it’s more the shame we’re not doing it on our terms but because we’ve been relegated. We’re not strengthening with the money but cushioning the fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 (edited) Multiple reports on £38m now its reasonable money of course, but feels a bit cheap for someone as effective There was an interesting article in The Athletic, the broad summary was that although he wasn’t flashy he was effective and a master of the the ‘give and go’ He’d have ripped it up in the Championship, but the price of relegation is the need to sell Edited 20 July 2023 by Wolfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get attached to them anymore especially after last season, the only one which will hurt is when Vards leaves. As for Harvey, we’ll miss him for sure, criminally underrated by some on here. But as you say, frustrating as hell and I wont miss screaming at him every week to take his man on only for him to cut back and play an easy pass. If they manage to stick a rocket up his arse in Newcastle he’ll be fantastic for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes lack of defensive discipline was always going to reduce his ceiling price, as exciting as he can be I'm not suggesting we sell him for 100 milli. Just more than 40, especially to a cash rich club like Newcastle because he's worth more than that, regardless of relegation. I'm probably his biggest critic aswell to be fair.

copunk Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Don't get me wrong I like the lad, when he's on it he's on it, but as so many others have said he's so inconsistent and seems to be the sort of player who if the first touch or run isn't there in the first 10 mins of a game, he shuts up shop Inevitable he was always going to leave, out of him and Madders I reckon his will be the most successful move going forward Wish him all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think larger numbers would have been possible if we had been in the EPL (We would not be selling him then anyway) and he had a bit more to his game. Not doing him down, he was good for us, a little one dimensional at times, and a bit remiss on defensive duties, but you simply cannot dispute his goal output. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really easy to get worked up and believe we should have got more. But we haven't got a single clue about any of the facts, I wish it was that easy and simple. I know his performances warrant a large sum, which relatively speaking we did. One obvious factor is one club bid and it appears from all the press that they had come up from the lowly figure of around £25m to £30m, there is zero reason to expect they'd be going higher and with no other teams bidding our negotiating position is extremely weak. So we are where we are. Move on and reinvest. Edited 20 July 2023 by Lesta Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all knew our best players would be going. I just think there's more we could extract for him. If ffp is as big of a problem as some on here believe it to be, we should be getting as much as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
