Currently at University and one of my flat mates is from Derby. He had a few friends round this weekend and got chatting to one of them who is a Derby fan.
I was amazed that the first thing he said to me, after discovering I am a Brighton fan, was this:
I'm quite fickle about the guy: love him one week, hate him the next. But it was really interesting what he was saying. It turns out his Dad is a Derby scout and Uncle is a Nottingham scout too...turns out both of them have watched him numerous of times and even Clough junior wanted him at one point last season.
From what he told me, they really rate him up north but, obviously Gus loves the bloke and wouldn't dare consider him in another top.
So are we all missing something here? Is Barnes the dark horse of the Championship in that the opposition fans love to have him in our team?
Or is it just pure delusion?
Personally I was shocked he didn't even mention Vicente/Buckley...Bridcutt was spoken about but not as much as Barnes.
Thoughts?

You have one hell of a player in Ashley Barnes
