Just bare in mind his scoring record in league one, and the fact that he has scored his fair share of goals in The Championship, I would imagine he would do okay for himself at Wolves. I think it's a bit naive to suggest he wouldn't consider his status with the fans as it has been all too obvious from some of his goal celebrations that he feels he had a pint to prove to some our 'supporters'.
Who knows, but for sure it's a complex balancing act, and maybe the plans for the team require the sale of Barnes to make the figures fit for everything else.

You are correct of course that his record is good...but thats history..who knows how he will do in another team...maybe even better i guess...as regards to being naive i don't agree, as i'm pretty sure he knows fans can be fickle from any club.....money and ambition will play a far bigger part

What if that 1/2 million enables us the keep Rohan Ince and stay within FFP
Complete and utter speculation!
What if? What if? What if Arsenal come in with a bid of £5M for Ince?
Let's try to keep some grasp on reality, we could all waste time speculating on a thousand different scenarios.
Wow. You are not going to enjoy the next month on here.

If we sold Barnes we will find it difficult to replace him. Good hard working forward with an excellent goals to game ratio. If we sold for say 750k we could never find someone as good for that money. I would keep him and I think he will continue to have a significant role in the team after return of CMS.

I wonder if we are going to try and sign Stephen Ward permanently. Guess that could impact whether we do a deal with Wolves.

The problem being now is we settle for the 750k or risk getting nothing in the summer. So the 750k now would at least go towards buying another striker.
I really do not understand this contract gamble the club plays with players in their last year of contract. Unless the club have already accepted losing him for nothing.

I am sure Barnes wants to start,the reason he may not sign is that will not be guaranteed a first pick place,best sell him now if that is the issue.

Why? I know you're one of the anti Barnes crowd who think it is clever to attack him but how many strikers are there available at £750K who have his Championship experience. I almost hope he goes as then people like you will see how much we really miss him.

He wouldn't be guaranteed a start at Burnley either unless one of Vokes and Ings is sold. Let's hope he signs a new deal but I fear he may have had enough of the stick he gets from some fans and has decided to go.
