Apart from Murray, Barnes is far superior to anybody else we have on the books in that role. Given the sublime level of service the guys up were blessed with last season, and with Izzy Brown already in the bag for the season, we'd suddenly have a fair bit of firepower at our disposal.
What gives
Proven effective partnership with Murray. Proven PL experience (and goals). Scores with his feet in and around the box in open play. Brave as a lion. Daft as a brush.
Affordable. Maybe even available.
