Ric Flair Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 46 minutes ago, 3 titles in 7 years said: Not sad to see him go. I will never forgive him for his misses vs Roma in the first leg, we'd have been comfy in that second leg. That's a bit extreme as he did a lot of good for us but it summed him up for me. Hot and cold, definitely a good player. Players are just assets and we had a squad of poor assets last season - drain the swamp. I'd counter he completely changed that 1st leg and his work for Lookman's goal / OG kept us in the tie. Up until then we'd been dog muck. I agree though, I'm still waiting for the net to bulge on that one he ought to have buried soon after we equalised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money , in the end, makes the difference. There will never be a level playing field again. Nobody club what won 2 league titles, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and an European trophy. Money made them into the behemoth but the myth Man City were some nothing club is wrong. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of idiots on twitter etc saying “great clearing out the deadwood” lol. So far, we have lost our best defender on a free, and our 2 most creative players by a mile. The deadwood remains! Slightly worrying in terms of creativity. Good luck Barnes. Real shame it come to this really. Hopefully we get some decent player in now. We need two new players in critical positions , a creative midfielder who can compliment KDH and Winks and a new striker. Maresca seems to prefer wing backs so a double strike option with one acting as a link is probably what he is looking at. The wing backs will be critical and he may initially go with Pereira and Justin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelmofox Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 1 hour ago, NewquayFox said: 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… I'm not sure i buy into it being a sad thing. I'm actually quite happy. We should be looking at academy talent as the sausage machine where the players should be moving on. Barnes should be playing the PL, so relegation has forced our hand here, but in reality i think he should have been looking at a move anyway. If we can be getting 10, 20 mill (and the odd 40 mill) from academy talents then its doing everything it should be. On to the next batch of talent as you say. Next time he comes to the KP i will cheer him. I've seen him score some crackers, and he's been one of my favourites to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Don't want Newcastle to do well but their trajectory is already a given with their backing. Hope Harvey does enough to get into the Euros squad next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans at the King Power are quite fond of a boo. If maddison gets booed it will be more about the comments he made and his social media fights with fans over the course of last season rather than the fact he has left. I doubt Barnes will get booed unless he pulls a Chilwell and has a go at the club and fans after he leaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish and Foden are in that position, we've just used Maddison there and Rashford should he ever turn up for England and not drop out of squads.

kristianity77 Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 The way I see it, if that money buys us 2 really outstanding championship level players, then we have more chance of going up than if we had just kept Barnes. In our position it's better to weaken in one area, yet strengthen in a couple of others with the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 I’ve got no ill feeling toward Harvey Barnes. he’s put up good numbers for us and will have a decent career. He’s always come across as more introverted than a Maddison though, so his relationships and the bedding in might take a little longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be mindful that he would have been injured at some point and does go through cold periods. This money could go a long way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
