At least he scores goals and doesn't **** about. He hurts the opposition the polar opposite of Saint Maximin. I've seen Barnes play **** but surely he's a decent signing for us right now?
He'd likely be much better for us than the never fit Allan, but Leicester are apparently after around £50million. If so, I'd prefer we spend £10million more and get a Diaby.
For the comments on Barnes you could just as easily be talking about ASM. We need more intelligence than either of these two.
Theres definitely a touch of Miggy about his attacking play in the way he plays 1-2's and drifts inside but Barnes is just better in every attacking attribute. TBH I like Maxi and I think he is a player you keep to unlock tight defense's or create a moment of magic that other players can't do but if we could get someone who can get goals and assists but more consistently for a decent outlay I wouldn't be opposed to him being sold. If Maddison was £40m then Barnes can't be more than £30m IMO and if you could get close to that for Maxi it would appear you get more output from Barnes so could be a good trade.
If Barnes was from a foreign club people would be excited. There's definitely something going on in that regards within fanbases. They seem to want fancy names even if they've never seen them play.
Maxi = headless chicken the majority of the time. We haven't got to wait for him to learn to be a team player! I love him as a player but for the greater good, get rid! £40million, thank you and good luck with Helios!!
Sounded like sexual assault to me tbh... but that's because I call my penis Miggy - super fast, hardworking but alas no end product.
I call mine Maxi as it's often out of action for long periods, when introduced, overly excitable and regularly fails to deliver.
Our fans love a Maxi that no longer exists imo. He's an OK dribbler and if he takes a shot in a match, he's praised as having a blinder. I dunno, Barnes is an upgrade for sure imo And I don't even rate Barnes that much, I just seriously don't rate Maxi at all.
