Ashley Barnes isn't nearly good enough for us.

Because from behind their keyboards, they know far more about football than Dyche.
Some would also have the old British green-eyed-monster disease.

I think he still does. In fact, I think he's got a couple of other usernames.
What I find interesting, looking back on this discussion, is how I'm not sure a lot of the people defending Barnes come out of it completely clean. The thread was started when we were in league 1. There were quite a few people talking about replacing Barnes when we get to the championship, and him slipping down our pecking order as we moved up one division. There weren't many people defending him strongly enough to suggest he would not be out of place as the similar position (third striker getting a fair amount of game time) in the premier league. Even those defending him seemed to think upper league one/lower championship would be his level.

Hopefully AB won't give us TOO much of a masterclass on aggression, commitment and positional play on Saturday.

Yes, according to many on here he’s shit and would never get into our team.

He is and wouldn't. We have a striker with a better Premier League record. Why replace like for like and get something worse?

Barnes would add something to the Albion, anyone who says otherwise is completely clueless imo. Or maybe just incapable of accepting that they were wrong about him. He is doing it in the Premier League and some said he wasn’t good enough for the third tier

Not like for like. It’s horses for courses. If you want a forward to play away from home and battle for you, then Barnes is your man. If you want more of a target man who can score but has defensive failings, then Murray ‘s your man, and Hemed isn't as good as either.

He was doing his Drogba impression at times in the first half.
Controlling high balls with his chest with that big ugly ******* Phil Jones clamped around his neck, then laying it off for a team mate.
You have got to laugh, he used to play for Paulton Rovers don't you know.

Maybe Hemed will impersonate him and get a shot off?
(Let's not be silly and expect a goal!).

Another blow for those wishing him a lower league career.
