syecosse Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 A number of decent sources on twitter reporting Harvey Barnes is switching to Scotland. I know a lot will not be fans but a very good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceudmilefailte Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Nearly 26 and according to who scored he cant hold onto the ball, cant cross the ball, cant pass the ball and contributes nothing in defence. Hasn't started a game for Newcastle yet. Don't let goal stats fool you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I feel about players who are mid 20’s, who have already played for England suddenly deciding to play for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfingers Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Be sad to see someone from the current squad drop out in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 This is the same as Angus Gunn, Che Adams & numerous others. Will improve our squad. If he’s committed then get him in. Be funny if he plays Tuesday 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbroath1320 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 He’s realised an appearance in the finals of Euro 24 will look good on his CV. Does he care about Scotland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing is poor, we all but qualify for the Euros next year, and now he want to commit all of a sudden. Not for me, regardless of ability.  Edited September 9, 2023 by Daz1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThistleWhistle Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The dressing room are obviously together. Personally I don't think he's good enough to risk the collective spirit for.  Going 10 straight qualifying games winning and he suddenly decides we're good enough for him - gtf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton_Peck Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Can he even be considered if he cant get on the pitch for Newcastle. Ironically being kept out the team by Anthony Gordon who might also be having these considerations in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been great for us & turned us down publicly as he wanted England caps over and over. The squad will want a player added who clearly improves the squad, which Barnes obviously does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger intae them Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Nope, defo don’t want or need him. not really good enough…… but that’s not the point……his first name ffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dairbee Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I'm split over this one. Seen him numerous times at the King Power and he was awful last season. Id question his desire when the going got tough. However, when his confidence is up he is quick, skillful and will score a goal. Out and out left winger, does he fit into the current setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Wikipedia states he was called up to the full England squad on 1 Oct 2020 and came on as a sub against Wales Does that no make him ineligible for anyone else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I don’t watch English fitba so know nothing about him.  What I can say for sure though is that I 100% trust Steve Clarke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't started a game for Newcastle yet. Don't let goal stats fool you. Lol he scored 13 goals for a relegated team as a winger. I dont care what the whoscored stats say, if he can score that many goals from the wing with a struggling team then hes worth considering for our first team. We dont even have any strikers who score 13 goals in any top league.

He scored 13 goals. Got a few assists as well. Not sure how often wingers score 13 goals for relegated teams. Cant be very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dairbee Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 @mccaughey85 Apologies, can't quote you for some reason. His form dipped massively after Christmas. To be fair, the whole atmosphere around the club regarding Rodgers was getting worse by the week, and the whole squad suffered. As I said, he's a confidence player. I'm hoping Steve can get a tune out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
