Barnes only wasn't wanted by the JCL muppets at the Amex. Hoped he would have been bigger than that. The WITHDEAN FIVE THOUSAND loved Ashley Barnes :love:
For sure. Galling though. Chairman doesn't show any sign of really needing the fee, tho the club shows every damn sign of needing to retain strikers worthy of the job title. Currently we only tend to retain the duds.
He finally came good (yeah, yeah, carrying an injury earlydoors blah blah) and formed a genuine Premier League level partnership with Ashley Barnes. Obviously that meant they both had to be shipped out for a fast buck pronto tonto to make way for cheapo replacements. Same as it ever was.
Get the same sinking feeling about Baldock and Hemed this season as I did about Baldock/CMS/O'Grady/Best last season. They're the makeweights you can't easily shift on to some other mug club, so they just sit there festering on the club's books until well past their sell by date while we flog...
