Good for him, a player I would happily have seen return to the Albion until this season.

Imagine wanting to see out your playing career in BURNLEY...

 

[Wozza]

No ambition.

Imagine your own fans booing when you picked the ball up to take a penalty

Exactly. Definitely not a Potterball player. Good luck to him.

I wouldn't say definitely though. Dan Burn doesn't seem like the obvious Potterball type and Potter has made good use of him.

Hope he can continue to play as long as Glenn.Good luck Ash.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Good for him. Top bloke who was great for the Albion.

Mr Burns will be over the moon with this news!

It happened at Withdean often enough, and at the Amex too. Shameful really.

I hope so too.

Irrelevant. Not our player anymore

Don’t have a problem with Barnes, was decent for us and often played out of position.

However does make me laugh how some of his biggest fans on here were beyond critical of Andone’s attitude and temperament when Barnes was sent off for deliberately tripping a REF !!!!

Doesn't mean we can't follow his career as a player though.

Suggest you have a look at the comments on here when he did that. I think some came close to having a heart attack in their verbal abuse of him.

Oh and the ref was an absolute **** in that game, no excuse, but he was.

That was playful and you know it cannot compare the two even with a vivid imagination.

 

[Mackenzie]

Can’t stand Burnley or the stupid ginger dalek, but I’m always quite pleased when AB scores a goal. I can’t help but like the lad.

Playful yeah that was it !!!

Certainly more brainless than Andone’s if not violent
