True.
But....
What if there is a 2 million pound striker we want, but can only afford 1 million?
Then the 1 million? for Ashley Barnes makes up the money to make the deal possible.

He's worth nowhere near that with his contract up at the end of the season, we will wait and see what the fee is I suppose but would be shocked to get 1 million for him.
No point criticising transfers until the window is done, imo. We can only tell what was a good deal and what wasn't by the squad we have come 1st February.

I have thought Barnes has been an unsung hero of the team for a while now and don't want to see him go but surely if he's not going to sign a new contract then it's time to cash in while we can.

Jones quoted that Solly March has been unlucky not to feature more so perhaps he has impressed enough now to push for a start if Barnes does depart , he is a different type of player of course but certainly did not look out of place v Reading .
Even then you won't have an accurate picture until new signings have settled in and shown their true worth.
BBC Sussex just reported that swap deal for Barnes with Ings coming the other way

This thread has just reminded me of the one for Lopez when he refused to sign a contract and the club was criticized for not doing more. OK we did reach agreement and what have we got from Lopez since he returned ? Well not what we expected or have needed for sure.
As to Ashley, he is definitely what we need at the moment BUT is he what we need for two further seasons under a lucrative contract ? I feel this colours the situation rather and will be why a deal MAY be done at £1 millon or so. Burnley may go that far if nothing else works for them.

Agreed. We are basing an awful lot on speculation at this point.
