Should we cash in on Barnes for 750k to 1 million?

Don't want to see him go.
But, if he has no intention of signing a new contract by the end of January, then the club have to sell him.

Nope, keep him 100%

Totally agree, the ball is in Barnes' court. If he's not going to sign a new contract we need to get some value for him or let him go in the summer for nothing. It's similar to the Murray situation, let's hope we have learnt our lesson.

Why would we sell him to a championship rival ? 750k isn't worth it.

I don't want to see Barnes leave however it's all about money, £750k or £1m is better than him leaving in the summer for nothing.

Erm I'd rather he didnt score the winner against us in the play offs for burnley than have a pathetic 750k-1m in the bank.

And if we don't make the Play Off's or don't meet Burnley we lose a pathetic £750k to £1m in the bank, I can see where you are coming from but if Barnes doesn't sign a new contract he is a free agent with no value to the club.
It looks clear that he is holding out for a new / improved offer from us but failing that we need to sell him on and recoup something towards a replacement.

They aren't our rivals as we haven't a cat in hell chance of catching them. We sold Noone to Cardiff last season and they were our rivals and we had more chance of catching them than we have Burnley.

If we continue to play a single striker (which I think we will) then Barnes is at best the second choice striker (and probably behind CMS when fit). He can also play a left sided midfield role but IMHO he is behind at least Orlandi and KLL in this position.
Lets say we don't sell him, made him stay till the end of the season, and subsequently got promoted to the premiership - he wouldn't be offered a premiership contract.
Lets say we don't sell him, made him stay till the end of the season, subsequently stayed in the championship - he wouldn't accept a contract with BHA.
If we sold him we might be able to offer £10K a week / one and a half year deal to someone quite good.
In reality he will stay and bugger off in the summer to Wolves as we fail to make the play offs.
The following season he will form a brilliant forward partnership with Murray, signed by the recently promoted Wolves, as Wolves storm the Championship.

They will be our rivals if they finish in a play-off place.

We all live in hope but I'm a realist. Hope you're right but think we'll struggle to make the play offs. My opinion like.
Fair enough - how about 'potential rivals'?

If we have to sell him then sell him to Wolves. I am sure they would pay Barnes a greater wage than Burnley anyway.
I would hate to see him go. We may have flair through the team but we also have a lot of dodgy knees, hamstrings etc. Barnes is a fantastic, intelligent, utility player at this level that will always do a good job and give 100% in whatever position he is played. Works hard, will only get better and doesn't seem to get injured much (at all?). He also seems to have mastered his temper this season which shows increasing maturity. Never forget, who was the one player still trying to win and to motivate his team mates in the last few minutes of the play off disaster. I can't believe anyone thinks he isn't worth a whole lot more to us than £1m! If he really wants to go then that's a different matter, but i doubt he does, despite some of our fans...

Correct.

North East Stand.
Didn't we have a clause when selling Stephen Dobbie to palarse last season that he couldn't play against us that season.
