Cash plus Barnes for Ings?

This is only good business if we bring in a replacement who is the same ability or better.
Smacks of a poor contract offer, good luck Ashley.

It smacks of us not wanting to break our wage structure. A good thing

Perhaps I am a pessimist but I think that he has had a contract extension on the table without signing it as either he or his agent over valued his worth to us and the club have learnt from the episode with Glenn Murray and colleced something for him

If not, expect a fan's backlash IMHO, so I'm 99% sure a replacement will be found.

Brian McDermott has said he expects to complete another signing for Leeds by the weekend - is it Barnes ?

Nothing to do with him taking crap is it!? More like more money.
He has said he is interested in Barnes but there are another 'couple of clubs' interested

Barnes was never going to be a 20 goal a season Championship striker nor a player who could make a real impact in the Premiership. That's the level of player we must aim for now and that's a good thing.
The club offered him a new deal which he hasn't signed, a decent fee is on the table so off he goes. I can't say he was ever my favourite player but i wish him well.

Nope - I'm still gutted this is happening. Maybe I'll feel better after Saturday, but Ashley leaving feels like a very big blow (even if it is the correct decision contract-wise).

I disagree, where was Murray at 24? Barnes is good enough to have not reached his full potential yet.

How long does it take for a medical ? Is he stalling over the deal with Burnley know he knows Leeds are interested ? Will he be having talks at Elland Road tomorrow ?

That's the most disappointing thing. Barnes is still continually improving and has time on his side.

Well, since you ask, he was playing at Rochdale and scoring a goal in every other game he played. And since then his goal scoring ratio has been as nearly as impressive, and at higher levels.
Time will tell, of course. I wish Barnes well but I doubt very much he'll ever be a 20 a season championship striker.
