He initially signed on a 2 year deal in 2010 , if you remember back a couple of years we all thought his contract was up until it was revealed several players signed contract extensions which weren't made public at the time (pretty certain Ankergren was one of those who got another 2 years extension)

He signed a 4-year deal (which hasn't been extended since).

Nonsense - he signed a 4-year deal in July 2011, when he first signed for the club.

The Argus 8/7/2010
Striker Ashley Barnes is on his way back to Albion.
The Plymouth goalgetter, who scored four times on loan to the Seagulls at the end of last season, signed a two-year deal after passing a medical today.
Barnes said: "I loved every minute of my loan spell last season and was desperate to come back."
The 20-year-old, who has also starred on loan to Eastbourne Borough, had a year of his Plymouth contract still to run.
He is heading east for an undisclosed fee.
In The Argus today they revealed the fee we paid Plymouth was £125k.

I love the cliche "didnt feel wanted". I think this might be a footballers "in joke" for "someone else will pay me more". If so, then, oh these footballers, they are cards. If not then I'm not sure what he mean? He is not a child, just at work! Either way, and it seems harsh but both Barnes and CMS missed a hatful of clear cut chances over the last two seasons and that is why we are Championship, not Premiership. Poyet's big transfer mistake with us was selling the skilful, good finisher that is Murray and instead buying CMS who basically can't finish but who runs around allot.

Are you getting Barnes and CMS mixed up ? CMS signed a 4 year deal in July 2011.

Apologies , I lost track on a reply to a reply to a reply and basically screwed up. Good job it didn't develop into a binfest.

We can go down the binfest route if you want, you fish-faced northern monkey*
*Insult for illustrative purposes only. Actual slurs may differ once the binfest has commenced.

Then he hasn't brokered that contract very well.
Carlton Cole has just signed a 40k per week contract (wtf).
Is Carlton Cole really worth THAT much more than Barnes?

Leeds fans getting all huffy because their financiers wouldn't give them the money to sign Barnes

To draw a line under all this, removal van departed and Ash bid a fond farewell earlier this afternoon. Hope his neighbour ain't getting lonely.

Just rubs in how shit we are at doing business these days, 700k for a Premier League striker and we pay 2 million for a League One striker who is possibly a fifth as effective as Barnes. Seriously pissed off with the hierarchy at the Albion at the moment.

Me too, feel so apathetic towards the lack of ambition and it was clear the moment he left that we had no intention of strengthening the squad, the signs were there and maybe Poyet had a point I am afraid to say. I have well and truly lost my mojo.....
You know I was laughing when Millwall scored, I am that fed up I don't care anymore.
Don't get me wrong I love the Albion and always will, but I just don't care
Now come on, it's not quite that simple is it.
£700k for a player with 6 months left on his contract who clearly had a decent deal on the table from Burnley.
Is Baldock ineffective or is it that team/manager around him?
We can't keep signing forwards then assume they are all (bar one) 'shitehouse'.
Christ, we can even make a multi million pound transfer, England player look league one, at best.
