Harvey Barnes, what's the chances Ed I rate him highly and we all know bobby makes players better round him he could be a steal his got pace and power finishing probably not his strong point but that will come he will get into better positions with us. Young English will cost nowhere near as much as sancho seems like Liverpool done there homework again.

{Ed002's Note - Harvey Barnes does not play in the same position as Sancho. He would be a Lallana replacement that would take time away from Curtis Jones. It would strike me as a dumb move.}

Not to mention he would probably cost more than we can afford.

Leicester don’t need to sell, and we have seen how they extracted £80m for slabhead, so they’re not going to look to accept anywhere south of £50/ 60m given the fact he’s English, and there’s no way he’s worth that.

As Ed said, dumb move considering we have Curtis Jones (and have just given him a long term contract), it makes zero sense to lash out stupid money on someone who is a very ordinary player, and who is not better than the ones already here.

Would signing him help with the HG quota eds.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is the non-HG quota that is the issue.}

The issue is that Leicester don’t want to sell, don’t need to sell and we don’t want to buy, need to buy.

ed002, do you know where we could find a current list of Liverpool's HG players? I've looked all over and am having trouble finding anything good.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Well you just need to go though the list of the first team squad and exclude the likes of the non HG players (which is the issue) such as Firmino, Robertson, Allison, Fabinho, etc. who are ot HG. That is the defining issue.}

Harvey Barnes is a winger while Curtis Jones is a central midfield player, who can play left midfield. So not sure what Ed002 means when he says Barnes would replace Lallana.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Barnes spends most of his time playing LM postion. But let's assume Liverpool don't want him as that but for cover for Mane. That will resolve the attacking issue and allow Liverpool to sell Curtis Jones to raise money. It seems many Liverpool fans are behind that.}

What Harvey Barnes plays as an attacking midfielder wide left or right so does play in the same position as sancho look where he plays for Leicester. I seem him as a perfect signing and jones will replace lallana, why would we want the club to sell jones doesn't make sense Ed.

The only way we sign Harvey (or any other attacker), in my opinion, is by offloading Origi and that would be difficult enough in this market.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - are we really debating swapping Barnes for Divvy have you people no loyalty 😂

29 Jul 2020 10:51:21
That was only for the arguments sake. 😅 Just to make it clear, I absolutely love Divock for his contribution in our recent success. I just feel we won't stockpile players in the squad coz that's unrealistic to say the least. There needs to be a balance and we already have it. Any addition to the side will depend on who leaves and whether Jurgen trusts the youngsters in those positions to step up, like we have seen with Williams and Curtis internally replacing Clyne and Lallana.
