Leicesterpool Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 The only thing we can tempt with Barnes to stay is if we agree a deal with him, if we're not in top three 3 at least by January. We can allow him the option to leave then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 Why would he go to West Ham. They're quite average and just sold their best player. He can do much better for himself by staying and waiting for one of the big clubs after a good season burning up the championship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 (edited) West Ham could still be favourites for relegation next year, the may have won the conference league but their league form was poor. 8 wins all season if i heard right? Edit: just checked only 11. still not great. Edited 30 June 2023 by Leicesterpool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that WH probably won't pull up trees, but I can't see the likes of Man City or Pool going for Barnes either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would also earn a lot more money! Quite obvious why he would probably want to move on. West Ham are about his level. They should improve on last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham are a big club, they regularly sellout their stadium 60,000. They are also one of the great underachievers in the PL. Wrong managers , poor recruitment , they remain a mystery but perhaps they are moving in the right direction. They need a goalscorer , Antonio and Ings are probably past their best. Harvey is a one dimensional footballer but is now a consistent goalscorer. He is a poor fit in a team like Liverpool or Arsenal but West Ham who like to break quickly could suit him well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted would give them an edge and score goals. But I still think he has more upside if he stays. We could certainly use him in the Championship. I'm sure we can match anything WH can pay offer him on a new Contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a stadium they did not pay for ( the British taxpayers did ) and because they are a London club with a big ground fill it with tourists a bit like a poor man's Tottenham.Like a cheap tribute act to a real big club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no history of greatness, like Utd, Liverpool, etc. As much as I hate UTD. City have bought their position with their greater spending power. What's worse is the league allowed them to do it. The Premiership are failing Fans continuely by allowing it to continue. Instead of allowing them and Chelsea outspend everyone else, They should be made spend less to level up the league. This is why our League win was such an achievement, unlikely to be repeated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 Can we really afford to keep a £40-50million player/asset on our books now we are in the Championship? He may be OK with staying, but I wouldn't be surprised if Top and Rudkin are looking to cash in on him to ease the financial shock of relegation.

In terms of winning the premier league F.A Cup and champions league in the same season then they are only second to Man United to have done the treble. No other team has managed to equal Man United in that respect. I guess in a success-driven game then yes they are and look likely to continue to be. The size of a ground or fan base counts for nothing if you regularly win nothing, Tottenham being the prime example. So would you say Tottenham is a bigger club than Man City? I know for sure they are bigger than poxy little West Ham. Edited 30 June 2023 by PAPA LAZAROU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 We'll win another major domestic trophy (PL, FA Cup or League Cup) before West Ham. Short term, they're better than us. Long-term, we'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmike Posted 30 June 2023 Share Posted 30 June 2023 As a visitor to this website, I will remain respectful. I am a West Ham fan and we are relatively big club in response to a post above. We actually have 52,000 season-ticket holders on a waiting list of more than 30,000. Barnes would suit us and I believe help us become a regular top-10 team. We’re certainly big enough, I hope you guys come up next season. I think you’ll run away with the championship. Good luck and thanks for sending us Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
