Who's that man we sold to Burnley
Who's that man that no one liked
Ashley Barnes is his name and now everyone thinks he's god
At least it's not Murray anymore
He does not want to play for us. He would rather sit on a bench in Lancashire.

But Oscar had shown no willingness to start him if Ulloa was fit.
So if it was that simple he chose more money and long contract and waiting for one of two players to injure themselves, or staying here and waiting for one player to injure themself.
I for the life of me could never understand why he had to go for the sake of a few bob to be replaced with two(Obika& Rodders) who have yet to hit the goalscoring trail.
does really take me back to Wendys era when every time we looked like getting into the top 6 we failed in some way.
sorry to say if this continues and we do not get into the top 6 there will be quite a few who will not renew the ST option, where then will all this penny pinching get us and if the FA/league in their pomposity do not punish those who have not towed the FFP line, those clubs who have laughed off FFP will be looking down from the heady heights of the premier and top end of the championship wondering along with us whatever happened to the Albion dream

Frankly I find this all a tad tiresome now.
Barnes has gone, wasn't particularly prolific as a striker, didn't want to sign a new contract with us, so we cashed in £.75m with the alternative being sweet FA in the summer [left on a free].
Finally, you do yourself no credibility with your quote: "Obika & Rodders have yet to hit the goalscoring trail." Please check who scored away at Port Vale. I'm sure its been done to death, but Barnes' goals-per-minute on the pitch was poor - yes I know strikers need other skills too like holding the ball up - and just how many minutes has Rodders had on the pitch to settle into our way of playing.
Please, enough .......
I've still got his picture stuck up by my monitor at work. I can't bring myself to take it down.

barnes has gone moved on, we can and will do a lot better.
