Ashley Barnes is off if buying clubs meet asking price...

[Mancgull]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Barnsey was off and the reason is that I see him as the most closely aligned player to Gus. Wasn't it reported thatGus visited his home just before being given the sack? In fairness to Barnes, wouldn't you have some loyalty to a boss that stuck with you after being sent off for tripping over a ref. ( not saying that it was the right decision to support him to the extent that Gus did). If the right offer comes in, then it would be best all around to let him go, so long as the replacement is good.

Nope. Was mentioned on here. Definitely not the same thing.
We're keeping Ash.

I think barnsey will be sold at the right price but only when we have a replacement. Next signing to be announced later this week, whilst in Spain. Attacking midfielder

Foregone conclusion that Oscar will bring back more players than went out there...

 

[Spun Cuppa]

He'll probably 'do a Murray', and score like thirty goals in the Champ somewhere else

It made me wonder how he could miss so many 'effing sitters over the last few seasons

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I would like Barnes to stay and be given a new contract. He is very very versatile and i think he is worth more to us that the million odd pounds we might get for him.

I'm surprising myself and agreeing with this. I've been through the wringer with Barnes but right now I'd really like him to stay and let's see what Oscar can do with him.

Is this the same Barnes we are talking about? Misses chance after chance, including the follow up to a saved pen TWO yards out

Beyond redemption for me

Thank god you're not the boss.

Sounds interesting, any more details?

No, AB had a guardian angel....he is now history, OG is unlikely to be so gullible.

 

[SeagullSongs]

I'd be pretty gutted if we lost Barnes, but hopefully we'd be able to get someone else in.

£2.5m minimum I'd hope.

 

[Icy Gull]

I think it would be very difficult to replace a young striker who is proven at this level, has experience, and is as versatile as Barnes for the 1m to 1.5m that people seem to think we would get for him. He will go on to be a very good striker, he improves year on year, whether it be with us or someone else. It's not like we are blessed with players who can play in midfield, upfront and defend too. He gets so much flak but which other players could shine when played out of their natural position most games? CMS and Hoskins are injured so selling him would weaken us further imo as I just don't see us getting a similar quality proven player without spending considerably more than we are likely to get for him.

Maybe OG sees no need for another striker if Leo, CMS, Hoskins, Toby, Barker etc remain fit and available for selection, ...especially if we have a new element or two in midfield to supply the ball.

Hmm, so we sell our 2nd best striker, good plan

 

[grubbyhands]

Hope he stays and I think the majority of people feel the same way. Still a bit of a work in progress but will only improve, hopefully with us.

 

[grawhite]

Would rather sell Hoskins, Harley and CMS if we have to sell for FFP, Barnes being sold would be a huge mistake.

 

[Albumen]

There's no substance to this is there? I'd imagine there'd be plenty before him on their way out before No.9 Ashley Barnes. Someone who follows instructions to the max is someone you don't usually want rid of.

 

[Trigger]

I offer £6.24.

Barnes is the kid at school who bullies the person who takes the ball off him by smashing him up seconds after it's been taking from him. No room for idiots like that.
