Really, why ?

I'm one of those fans who knows nothing about football and believe he is highly overrated. Maybe he will be mentioned less on here now. There might not be a new thread every time he scores a goal.
Very happy Leo's back though!!!

£11m apparently.

If someone offered me £11m for Ashley Barnes, and I was safely in mid-table, I'd take it.

Can you imagine they sign him AND he then scores the goal to send us down at Selhurst?

Let's hope we had a sell-on clause

That sent a shudder down my spine. You have some very dark dreams. It's the cider.

Nailed on I would have thought

Yes, I'd thought of that but it was too EVIL a situation to process so I zapped it from my reality.

Yes, me too.

So a little bit of me will die inside if he ends up playing for those tw4ts.

Me too.

Please don’t ruin my memories of you Ashley.

Strange one week linked with Chelsea next week Palace. Hopefully nothing more than a new Burnley contract

Weststander · Jan 29, 2018

That move would be the icing on the hate cake for the Schadenfreuders who've wanted him to fail at Burnley.

Peter Grummit · Jan 29, 2018

Hodgson said today it was the first he'd heard of it.

He's that type of slow, non-tricksy winger that a few managers seem to really like - a la Dirk Kuyt, Jon Walters, James Milner, Gary Hart ..... basically David Beckham but without a stunning cross. I'm not a massive fan of them either but they do seem to keep some managers very happy

their team mates love having them around too. Work ethic, unselfish, passing to more gifted team mates, muck in with the midfield when needed and occasional but vital winning goals.

Wenger-like transfers stealth, or dementia?

Or he scores the own goal that sends them down.

If Burnley will let him go, why aren’t we after him? He gives us something we haven’t got. I will be very pissed off if he goes to Palace.

Seem to remember that Oscar wanted to keep him but the powers that be didn’t. Has he upset TB or PB at some stage? Barnes himself said he didn’t feel wanted here before he left. If Oscar wanted him why would he feel like that? Not sure some of the wanky fans who moaned at him during games would have swung him either.

If he’s not coming here I’d like to see him respond like Ian Chapman did when told Palace were after him. “**** off” was allegedly his response before he walked out of the room.

David Burke did the selling & buying. I'm not so sure Oscar had any choice.

That's my recollection.

The had club moved to the polar opposite of the Poyet era, where until near the end, he had so much influence on transfers. With TB/PB involved too.

I never really got ashley barnes. Mainly as he i saw him on the left wing - so not really his fault he was terrible at it.

Apparently he's better up front - i mostly saw him sitting on the ground moaning to the ref

*Cough* I think you'll find that it was the ref sitting on the ground whilst Ashley was moaning at him. :thumbsup:

Unlikely, unless he had scored his last goal 6 games previously
