1 out of 3 ain't bad
Fair play to you, I was so far out on this one, I thought he could be fourth choice.

Apparently Barnes has caught the eye of both Palace and Newcastle:

This board's consensus on the ability of Ashley Barnes was one of the main influences for my sig.

Rudy Gestede has a good record for scoring headed goals in the Championship.

Under Gus, we won the third division title at a canter in one of the most enjoyable seasons we've ever had as fans. This was in no small part thanks to our two 20+ goalscorers, Glen Murray and Ashley Barnes, both of whom remain absolute legends in my eyes.
It is bad enough that one of them ended up at the Nigels. If the other one does the same, a little part of me will die.

Burnley won't be selling as Barnes is a big favourite of Dyche's and has 2 years left on his contract.
Barnes was the first cash signing by Dyche after getting Heaton, Dave Jones and Arfield on frees.
I think most Burnley fans would be horrified if Barnes was sold to a potential relegation rival like Newcastle or Palace.

Glad you posted this. I was (based on far less knowledge of Dyche) about to write much the same.
From everything we DO know about SD, and the way Burnley's team play, you'd assume that he absolutely LOVES Ash.
He is the living embodiment of everything Dyche wants from his players.
Sadly.

This is pretty much what I thought. Barnes has been good for Burnley, and Burnley have been good for Barnes. Certainly I know that Ashley and his wife are very happy up there.

Yep, certainly Ash will never stop running, and will give everything for the cause, both physically and . . . verbally.

The ongoing vilification and re-writing of history on here is pitiful.
It was only a few weeks ago that Tomer Hemed finally overtook Barnes as the all-time leading scorer for the club in the Amex era.
Barnes was a young, strong, tenacious forward, played out of position by Gus in the Championship, who still put in a shift almost every single game - more so than others. He could be silly and petulant, but then, so could many others, including KLL, Knockaert, Dunk et al, and the screams for their banishment to Hellhurst is a bit on the thin side.

This is why he got some criticism and I am willing to say I was one of them. I had no doubt about his football ability. What I found infuriating was his petulance, constantly moaning at referees (including tripping one up), diving at times and constantly looking like he was on the edge of a red card, I think he actually got a red card once after being back for one or two games since the previous one. I like him as a player but some of the criticism was warranted and justified if you ask me.

A criticism that could be levelled at, say, Spanish Dave (diving and rolling around) or petulance (KLL) or Dunk or Stephens (always on the edge of a red card).
I saw a player who put in a shift when others in the team really didn't at times.
The petulance card is over-played, especially if you compare it to some others in the team.

I fully expect Maccabi Tel Aviv to come back in for Tomer and him being allowed to leave.
