Thank you for that... that was my point, but backed-up by your excellent research and hard facts... Gus rotated his strikers, as I claimed earlier after Burns's rant; he did NOT chose Wood over Barnes...
Do you have a VENDETTA against Barnes? Do you have selective memory? BTW I wouldn't swap Barnes for Wood... I know Wood is still young, but on the evidence of what I have seen, he is utter, utter gash...
Too simplistic... Gus has always been positive about Barnes, and I wouldn't say Barnes played 2nd fiddle to Wood or vice versa... the strikers were all rotated... Gus certainly DOES like Barnes as a player; watch how he celebrated Barnes' 20th goal (if that is still possible somewhere)...
Sure, if BC, or another (Championship) club, offer silly money, then he will go... but why would they?
So, we want to keep him, he wants to stay, he is not out of contract, and BC won't offer silly money... to repeat, ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN...
Barnes exit to BC never gonna happen... when are people gonna realise that we are now in the same div as (clubs like) Brizzle City!? He is not out of contract, we do not need to sell... he is a young and promising player, and Gus likes him... also, why would he want to go there?
I don't believe that Muzza would come back, or we would accept him back, after what has happened...
I don't believe we would sell one of the ONLY 2 first-team squad strikers currently on our books...
Apart from that, everything you say makes perfect sense...
