Wouldn't surprise me, there has been interest in him from us before now.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Always scores against us, can hold the ball up which I think I what Gus means when he talks about a target man rather than some massive lump.
Not massively exciting but he isn't a bad player, one bad season with injuries and his court case doesn't make him crap.
Certainly rather have a player with something to prove rather than one dropping down and going through the motions

SULLY COULDNT SHOOT
Loyal2Family+Albion!
This rumour has the ring of truth about it. If we had got him last season I would have been quite excited. Now Im not so sure. Hes still pretty young though so I would expect him to get over last season. Whether he is an improvement on what weve got Im not sure and he is NOT a target man.

How soon is now?
Already been told that he's surplus at Southampton, so he'll be going somewhere.... I was hoping for someone stepping down from the Premier Lge, but if he does sign then I hope he does really well for us

He played against our development squad last night, correct me if I'm wrong but he scored twice.

That's him isn't it? So I think it's safe to say it's a relative of him.

I would be happy with this,he is a lively player and scores goals.
Would take any of the top 5 to be honest.

We need to be happy with whoever we get in. Gus has said that most goal scorers are out of our price range in this division.
At the end of the day we still have the biggest scoop of last season CMS and I really do hope things turn around for him this season.
We also have Barnes, Hoskins when he gets fit again and also Agdestein who has real potential. Adding Lee Barnard would be a real positive.

Ifs its a loan while we sort out other targets, whats the problem ?
Lets take a look, he might be very good and the perfect foil for CMS.

At lower league level like CMS. According to his stats, he got 0 in 9 for Stains last year. Can't we afford a proven Championship/Premiership standard striker, or is all the money spunked on poxy Wing Backs?

[MENTION=13951]colin[/MENTION]curryer seems Lee Barnard cd be on his way along the coast. Saints have said he can go even tho he signed 3 yr contract in 2011 #bhafc

Quote from SaintsHub
In July 2011 Barnard signed a new contract with Southampton, keeping him at the club until 2014. He spent the first few months of the 2011/12 season on the sidelines, making his first competitive appearance from the bench against Crystal Palace on October 25th 2011. Barnard made a few more sporadic appearances throughout 2011/12, but never looked anything like a capable Championship player. In fact, you barely even noticed him the few times he ventured onto the field. Barnard was cleared assault in April 2012.

“I wanted to get Lee Barnard and (Jason) Puncheon in January, because I knew they were available, but I couldn’t even pay half what they are earning at Southampton.
“I know Lee Barnard very well because I played with him in the reserves, coming back from injury at Tottenham. He was a proven goalscorer with Southend but I couldn’t get him. "
Albion can't afford proven goal-getter From The Argus)
