An Sionnach Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 He is the last of our valuable assets , so we will make little money in the transfer market in the foreseeable future. The club will have to finance itself in more creative ways. This is basically a reversion to ten years ago. Maybe that is a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fee is right for a relegated side selling an asset but we’ve just sold two English players who are very likely to be in the national squad next season to one CL club and another who will certainly have aspirations to be there for the same price (including add ons) that we got for Maguire. It’s a shit fee and the board patting themselves on the back for it is another laughable move by the prat Top and his band of idiots. Good luck to Barnes. He will thrive at a proper club.

This is where we need to be shrewd and sensible. So far, it appears we have. I'd like to think we'll secure a few more signings before the start of the season now to fill out the squad with goals and creativity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hope this season was our chance to find some hidden gems and future assets but doesnt look that way as most the young players look like they will be loans.

Sad indictment of our times, Barnes was probably 6 years in the making after his breakthrough to the 1st team bench, Thomas should come good this season in the Championship but Dewsbury Hall will be the next one sold unfortunately, we have a couple of future gems in Alves & Braybrooke, hopefully our new coach/manager will sort out our junior teams in the next year or so… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmt Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Sad day for me. My fave Leicester player. Wish we got a bit more but think this is a pragmatic move if we invest the money as sensibly as we have the Maddison money. Good luck to him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I think he’ll fit Newcastle’s current style quite well, and good luck to him. He’s been one of my favourite players in recent seasons. However, with their ambition, finances and trajectory he’ll be a squad player inside 2-3 years as they will outgrow his worth. I suspect as well the Newcastle board will panic when Howe isn’t able to sustain what he did last season, another reason why players who fit his style should be wary. In effect, it’s all down hill from here pal 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5waller5 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Sad to see him go, a player I rate really highly. As a winger games don’t always go your way, sometimes the defender wins the battle… So they are seen to be “hot and cold” players. Barnes has always been tarred with this brush. But for me, he’s a very good player. He may need to dig deep mentally to make the next step in his career. I wish him well and am sad to see his departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bablemikey Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I think a new start at a new club will be very good for Barnes and his development and is just what he needs. I will be watching him with interest to see whether he can kick on now. From our perspective £40m isn't the best, but is acceptable in the position we are in and could make the starting 11 significantly stronger. As always though, the key is to recruit well with the money and we won't be able to judge that with any degree of certainty for quite some time.

woznotwos Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Unfortunately we need a number of signings and this is the way we achieve it like it or not. Fingers crossed we continue the start with decent quality signings before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 20 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 20 July 2023 Without question our best academy product in the last 20 years. Will miss him if I'm honest. The improvement in his finishing from that final away game at Spurs under Puel is extraordinary. Thanks for the good times Harvey. Less said about the bad times but I'll watch his career with interest. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Got to get rid of him really, can’t afford to let him run down his contract, can take the risk and maybe let go next summer but then we risk him doing a Tielemans. Would have liked nearer 45/50 but if no-one else is bidding we’re abit stuck. Take the money and hopefully reinvest in 2 or 3 lads or use it to stick to FFP.

Which only finished 3rd due to spending 400m + in 3 windows. After this window that will be 0.5bn spent How exactly are they a properly ran club just because they had a oil sugar daddy turn up.
