Is it time to sell Ashley Barnes

[albion534]

f*** off back to Man U and stop slagging your own teams players off then there your top scorer

Think you need to lay off the Stella

Sadly I don't drink

If we were to sell him, I reckon we could command at least £1 million. Scored goals in League 1 and Championship.

 

[phatsam99]

Why sell your top scorer? He's got 40 odd goals in the last 3 seasons! Or are you upset cos he doesn't score 3 goals a game like messi?

Some people might need to take a step back !!!

He would break the Adam virgo transfer record for most money paid for a truly average player.

how can you say someone more than capable of scoring 20 plus goals a season is average

Doctor Who Xmas special on in a minute

 

[Solid at the back]

Tbh just drop CMS and play Barnes up top and he will actually score

 

[DumLum]

Jesus Christ he's 23 and has loads of time to progress (unlike CMS), I'm not his biggest fan and I know we need new fowards but he will become good in a season or two in my eyes.

Should've gone to Specsavers.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The list of players that may well flourish away from Gus, a la Noone, might have a few names on it.

Would that list be mainly made up of players doing nothing and going nowhere when Gus arrived?

(Merry Christmas squire!)

Stella? You rate him higher than I do.

Merry Christmas, Ashley. Had a good one with the family? I have a shirt with your name and number on the back, I'd love you if you played up front alongside CMS. Like against Leeds for a while when we looked DANGEROUS. On the left? Meh, silly position and a waste of talent. In my own humble opinion, of course. I'd like to have a conversation with Gus about not wasting good players in a pointless position. When Dobbie has played, he's either been up front alone or on the left in the Barnes position. Same with Hoskins. When LuaLua plays on the left, he plays a proper position and he thrived against Millwall. Play Barnes in a natural position and BOP, footballer. Used as he currently is he won't live up to his potential here, like Craig Noone. But both Barnes and Noone have rapidly progressed under Gus' management, it's just a shame other clubs get the benefit.

Bit of a mix and match.
The clear out he didn't have in the Summer.
Painter (through no fault of his own).
Barnes, Orlandi Lopez Hoskins KLL should apply more pressure to that position.
And the really painful one CMS.
I'm beginning to think he would excel in a different formation.
One were he regularly has at least 1 team mate in the same half as himself.

I think Barnesy will stay. I don't think the lack of goals is a lack of ability, they've all performed just not consistently. We know they can do it. Much of problem is psychological: confidence, composure etc. this is not something that a player can just magic up every match day.

There is a coaching requirement here too.
