First choice and 2nd choice please Lavia & Livramento perhaps. Depending on how his knees has healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First choice and 2nd choice please Fair question but honestly don’t see us looking at any of them now. We’re in different market. I personally wouldn’t turn down any of these at the right price though: Leicester: Tielemans, Barnes Leeds: Gnoto, Sinisterra Southampton: Lavia, Alcaraz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Barnes does get a lot of goals and assists. Double figures every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 We could use Barnes for sure, he's 25 and loads of PL experience. Can play up top of in LM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add another 2-3 players like that and we’re definitely better off next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Happily have Barnes in the squad, not sure I'd be willing to pay what he'd cost thou. Guessing £50m-£60m + £150k-£200k/w? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester's best players are extremely inconsistent, have injury problems, or old, Leeds has a bunch of overrated youngsters and mid-table championship players, and Southampton have JWP, a squad of duds, and a couple of promising players who are always on the treatment table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 2 years left on his contract so doubt Leicester would let him go for a similar fee to what Brighton paid for Joao Pedro from Watford. Maybe if he forced a move.

They might have to cut their wage bill so not in that great a bargaining position. Google says he's on anything between £40k and £100k a week, if it's towards the upper end I can't see them being able to keep him in the Championship.

DJBOB Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Just think the Barnes asking price would be too high. Fits the profile we need desperately on either flank. A pacy dribbler that can take their man on 1v1. If you look at the clubs with a similar set up tactically, they all have direct, pacy players in those wide positions. Arsenal (Saka and Martinelli), City (Grealish/Mahrez), Brighton (Mitoma, March, etc), Barcelona (Dembele/Raphinha on one side and either Alba/Balde on the other). Whilst we have Moreno (who while a good LB option is hardly at the level of the others) and the husks of Bailey/Traore and occasionally McGinn. We really need to improve that profile of our squad to consistently generate chances. Edited May 12, 2023 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we pay £100k/w to Bolasie when we loaned him and something similar to Terry. And we had beg, borrow and steal back then (according to our manager at least) Anyway, we'll see when and if it happens Edited May 12, 2023 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's listed as a RW but he's better in one of those advanced midfield roles than an out and out winger. If given the choice - I would pick Barnes for the profile and not because he's the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
