I think Barnes would have stayed. This could be an interesting season for Villa, Curse of fat Youri? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he keeps coming central and then there's no body on the left wing when Villa get the ball. They lost their balance when Bailey was brought off at HT. Not sure why as he was linking up well with Diaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 12 August 2023 Share Posted 12 August 2023 Shame Barnes couldn’t give us one more season but no doubt will be in the England squad regular now playing for Newcastle and as annoying as it is he will probably do well at Newcastle .

He drew out his contract in the hope that someone bigger and better would come in for him and I make no apologies for saying that I take great joy to see a real Leicester lad being on a team that’s completely battering him and his new team. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans did no such thing and conducted himself in a professional manner. Why should he be treated differently to Maddison who checked out for the last 6 months of the season and out more effort into defending Rodgers from local reporters He was the consummate professional, barring the fact he was about 3 stone overweight by the West Ham game and could barely run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd to pin it on one player No one is saying its one player, collectively they were poor, they were poorly managed but noone can sit there and tell me Youri has given his all for the past 2 years, noone. That squad should never have been anywhere near a relegation battle, theres some real dross in the bottom half of the Premier League. The real issue was that until it was too late they collectively couldnt roll up their sleaves and battle.

Guesty Posted 12 August 2023 Share Posted 12 August 2023 Gordon and Barnes are a good option for Newcastle on the left. Gordon runs around a lot with really impressive off the ball work rate, but not so great end product - whereas Barnes is the opposite. Depending on who they're playing they're covered either way and Gordon will always run the right back ragged then Barnes comes on when he's knackered. You can see them actually building a proper squad. So annoying that we couldn't do the same with Barnes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last part though....why should he? He hasn't disrespected us by not doing so Well he has in a way, despite him being part of the problem he felt he was too good and moved on, which he mentally did 2 years back. He could have said I'll sign a 1 year deal im so gutted by the situation I want to get Leicester back where tgey belong. It's different when the club have to clear out to balance the books. It's partially Rudkins fault, he should have moved him on, I think the club thought they get into the Champions League and he'd sign but Rodgers failed. It's a set of circumstances maybe Youri ends up looming worse than he is, but it is what it is as it were. We move on now. Don't get me wrong tge FA Cup goal will live long, maybe longer than the hurt if we get straight back and become something 'new'.

I get why people like Fofana get stick but Barnes genuinely won't deserve it. I think he would get comfortably the best reception of the players who left. Not universal but pretty enthusiastic from the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Md9 Posted 12 August 2023 Share Posted 12 August 2023 Son as captain and madders as vice is probably the worse 2 you could pick.
