Wolves in for Ashley Barnes

According the Mirror they are in for him as a replacement for Taylor Fletcher.

Ash for cash: Wolves want Brighton goal-grabber Barnes as they prepare to lose Fletcher to Sunderland.

The 22-year-old Scottish Seagull ( )has been catching the eye and was a fruitful forward for Gus Poyet's side last season.

Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is eyeing Brighton hot-shot Ashley Barnes as he prepares to lose Steven Fletcher.

Scottish forward Fletcher, 25, has slapped in a transfer request as he chases a switch to Sunderland.

And relegated Wolves are considering Albion's Barnes, 22, as a possible replacement. Barnes struck 14 goals last season for Gus Poyet's Championship side.

He also scored one and set-up two in Albion's recent shock 3-1 pre-season win over Chelsea.

Interesting.

I wonder is thereaby truth behind it?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Offer us the £12 million or so that you're getting for Fletcher and we'll talk.



On a more serious note, Gus will not let Ash leave unless he is really desperate to go. If he does want to leave, we know Wolves have just snaffled a massive sum of money, so I'm sure Tony would take advantage. Could probably squeeze £1.5 - 2 million out of them if we absolutely had to, though of course I'd rather Barnes stayed.

 

[Icy Gull]

Can't blame them, if there's any truth I guess we'll find out if we are a selling club...to clubs in our own division. I'd be gutted to lose him.

 

[Springal]

But according to some on here he is shit so it can't be true. Would be fuming if he left to Wolves, though maybe not surprised. Bigger club looking to bounce back and would probably be more appreciated by fans there.

 

[lizard]

I can't see this happening.
I'd be gutted if it did.

All the shit he got last season from certain individuals on here and at the matches last season. I hope he doesn't go.
Wolves could also probably afford to pay him a lot more than he is earning here and they have a good shout for promotion too. I don't like the sound of this for various reasons.

There is always the possibility it is agent talk, isn't he currently negotiating a new deal? Nothing like interest from other clubs to add a few quid a week to your pay cheque!

Really hope he doesn't go

Well, re. CMS Gus saod he's not for sale but every player has his price if its high enough. Wuestion is, was he justifying a potential CMS sale or does it apply to everyone?

 

[Rugrat]

Only a matter of time before this happened. I reckon Barnes would be better off staying here. He knows he's well regarded which is a big plus point and we've got a fair pop at promotion too, maybe not as fancied as Wolves but they're hardly certs. He'll do well for us I'm sure and if we aren't to go up then he'll attract attention of Prem clubs next year if he wants to go. Add to that Wolves is a miserable dump of a place. Money will obviously be a big draw be it Wolves or whoever

And that is what is annoying me. Last season some bloke constantly moaning everytime he got the ball. I hope he doesn't return this season because he put me on a bloody downer. If the price and terms are right, Barnes could easily say goodbye.

 

[matt]

He's in the last year of his contract (I think), so if this is true AND he wants to go, then he'll be on his way.

Though Sunderland were after Defoe now?

Can't see Spurs selling Defoe right now as he's the only senior striker on their books at the moment!

 

[Hyperion]

Based on them calling him a Scottish seagull, it's probably a load of bull

 

[albion534]

Well that's what I though, but stranger things have happened! Don't understand how you can justify 12 million for fletcher IMO

 

[Zebedee]

In the pre-season games that I have seen him in this year Barnes has looked much better than last season. If we now sell him, and to another Championship club, it would be bizarre beyond belief.

If clubs signed every player they were linked with, nobody would be at a club for more than 6 months

or, if a club never signed a player they were linked with nobody would ever get transferred
