STUHILL Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 Can we afford to keep a £40 million asset on the books? Obviously it would be great to hold on to him, but there is a big black financial hole to fill due to our relegation and I am not sure selling just Maddison for big money will suffice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we probably can… you have to take some risks in a bid to go straight back up. Barnes would ease 20 goals at least, but, I can’t imagine someone won’t want him. I’ve got a sneaking feeling Liverpool will make a late move for him…. No substance, just a feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise… huge problem is, if we don’t sell him then it puts a massive dent in the clubs rebuilding plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Shep Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 Maybe, and again I’m speculating, if we do keep some players including Barnes then should we go up the club may pay back any wages lost. That’s if the club wants to keep him of cause and it sounds like we don’t but as I suspected I don’t think he wants to go to West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 I liken it to when we kept Muzzy Izzet when we were relegated under Adams. He was the difference the following season and was far too good for the Championship, as was Merson at Portsmouth. Harvey doesn't run a game in the way that Muzzy did but could be that point of difference in a really difficult league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfielder moved for £45million. Leicester were hoping to recruit £80million for both players, so will remain optimistic that Barnes can leave for £35million.

Pliskin Posted 5 July 2023 Share Posted 5 July 2023 But will Newcastle pay the asking price? I think we will make the sale of Barnes more difficult as we would probably risk keeping him, and they’re wary of FFP, so we could push for the £50m…. Will Newcastle be in a position to spend just over £100m on just two players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t really want them involved as it’ll just waste time. Ideally we’d want around 45/50? No way they pay that.

Ric Flair Posted 5 July 2023 Share Posted 5 July 2023 I still struggle to understand why Newcastle seem so restricted by FFP when others around them continue to blow such obscene money. I presume its the concern of what might happen to Everton and they're being ultra cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Chelsea's rapid fire sale, for example, they're clearly rushing to become compliant. What does surprise me, however, is that if Chelsea's sales to Saudi really are dirty (and I suspect they are) I'm a little bit surprised we've not seen any of Newcastle's squad rotation journeymen get bought up by Saudi clubs for overly inflated fees to enable Newcastle to spend more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 5 July 2023 Share Posted 5 July 2023 Baring in mind Newcastle want an attacking midfielder too, and pleading poverty then I don't see them being serious about Barnes. They don't seem to have enough squad depth to raise funds either. Why they haven't gone aggressively for Arda Guler I don't know. Such talents in the £10-20m price bracket.

singinpete Posted 5 July 2023 Share Posted 5 July 2023 I’m not so sure that Newcastle have any real financial constraints at present. Kieran Maguire seemed to think they were comfortably able to spend £600m+ in the first 3 seasons after being taken over as Ashley had left them in such a decent state financially. That figure wasn’t including any outgoings or a surprise CL qualification either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger wages, less value and I think Barnes would offer a lot more over the season. Love Vardy, but we don't have to be loyal to him, we have to look to the future. If we can keep both, great. That's quite a good point. If we could entice a Saudi club to buy Vardy, and then keep Barnes, we'd retain the current threat. JV has been an amazing player, but none of us can prevent the ageing process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
