He is, still can't wrap my head around why you spent that much on Perez. He was decent for us as a number 10, but went missing in so many games and only really came alive in the final months of the season. Forgive me if I've got it wrong, but didn't you often play him on the flanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 Saint-Maximins injury history on its own means he should be nowhere near the same value as Barnes He has missed nearly a full season of games in just the last 3 seasons Only way Newcastle get a fee for Saint-Maximin that is similar to what they pay for Barnes is if he goes Saudi, no chance they get that kind of fee from anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been amplified beyond belief this season though. I dont agree with this at all, most of the hope is done by the media as opposed to the fans. The vast majority of Geordies are grounded and barely any I am aware of thought they were entitled to champions league. Any under the age of 25 was just glad not to be in a relegation battle for a change to be honest. As mentioned before all clubs get the odd arsehole at the ground on social media to detract attention from the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not wholly sure why? The reported fees for Barnes are around what I suggested, and align with Transfermarkt's valuation too. So, if we can use Transfermarkt as a very rough guide, then ASM is around the same valuation. I don't think anything there is arrogant. Now, if I'd said Barnes wasn't good enough for us, or that ASM was worth Maddison numbers, then, sure, call me arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now either Barnes puts chances on a plate / had better finishers at Leicester than ASM has had when he was playing regularly at Newcastle or as has been seen quite frequently, ASM for all the fancy tricks and flicks is more likely to injure a fan in the crowd than do the business for him and his team mates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermarkt isn't now and never has been an accurate reflection of transfer values and if you think any club (outside of major outliers like Saudi Arabia) are going to bid 30m for Saint Max you are extremely delusional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes puts chances on a plate and has played alongside better finishers than ASM has for the majority of his PL career. Where Barnes had Maddison and Vardy et al, ASM has had Shelvey and Joelinton. Most of ASM's chances have fallen to poor finishers, or himself (equally poor). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyshireFox Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 If you put Barnes ability to cut inside and finish with Saint-Maximin’s skill set and ability to beat a man, then you’d have a £60-70m wide player. For me I’d be wanting £45m - granted that’s what they paid for Gordon but I don’t think he had two years left on his deal, and Everton had not been relegated. If we get the same as we got for Maddison, take it. We need to crack on with putting a side together that can get us up and actually wants to be here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes is €35m on Transfermarkt which would be around £30m I would say that £10m off the upfront fee that we should be getting for him minimum, and not even including add ons for the total, is a fair bit off Edited 12 July 2023 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tax doesn't seem to be happening a lot. We don't engage in bidding wars, we walk away from deals when the selling club values their player more than we do.

Daggers Posted 12 July 2023 Share Posted 12 July 2023 47 minutes ago, Gerard said: Years ago I used to play for Wicksteed Park Rovers and one lad who was about 16 cycled to training and matches from 12 miles away. He was an odd character and used to openly masterbate in the showers trying to get the rest of the team to join in a mutual masterbation sesh. We got sick of him and just told the park we were going to train elsewhere. We never told him and he never showed up again, to this day I still don't know what happened to him. I never said I stopped cycling in to wank in the toilets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon slots in perfectly with how Eddie wants us to play; high pressing, good finisher, creative etc. I thought it was pricey, but then I've watched him play. It could turn out a very fair price. Edit - also at the time we were taking a double figure scoring striker off a direct rival in our survival bid.

No, unfortunately you can't see the percentiles you have to use the players, but there's loads of people on twitter who've scraped the data and punched it in data vis.
