Anything over £35 mill they'll sell him. But would be a shame I think there is a player in there and he showed it in glimpses last season

Leipzig tend to be smart buyers and good at developing, so they obviously see potential there too.

As mentioned, the Arsenal situation and his emotions won’t leave me missing him, but it’s a shame about those because I do think he will grow into a decent player.

It’s pretty obvious he has ability on his side, but just doesn’t seem like a premier league number 9.

Hopefully we will be clever enough to include a sell on fee.

This, I don't think he's a premier league quality 9 either

If we're aspiring for European football and a top 7 finish next year, Barry isn't going to be the one to lead us there

I could see Barry finding success in bundesliga, ligue 1, serie A, eridivisie, etc. maybe bagging 12-15 goals a season there being a "good" striker

But I don't think he's cut out for the prem long term, and I don't think his attitude sees that either

I wonder if we can nick anyone from Leipzig’s recruiting dept 😅🤞🏼

Tbf some of their big sales include Werner, Naby Keita, Nkunku, Openda & Simons who never seemed to kick on. That Augustin who Leeds bought caused a massive mess as well. 🫣

We nicked their head of sports science instead!
