Who else is he gonna score them for? He won't be leaving at all
Own goals?
Barnes will be here all season. Its one of the few Albion certainties.
If this "gem" turns up, assuming he's a striker, what position will Barnes play? If he can't get in the side, will he ask for time away or a transfer? Brizzle are still keeping tabs according to my info.

17 goals for the Albion or more.
If he doesn't I'll donate £20, if he does then you donate £20.
A goal is a goal but it has to be for the Albion.
Same as always, likely on the left of midfield. We still don't have anyone who plays the defensive role in that position. If the gem comes, CMS should drop out.

Well seeing as Gus said he wants a player to help CMS and play alongside him I would guess that Barnes will be the one to drop out at first..... Wouldn't bet against him winning his place back but with a better defence and midfield I would expect us to play without the withdrawn slightly left sided role Ashley played.

I'm not a Barnes hater, far from it. However i think he'll struggle to go over 15 this season. He offers a lot more to the team than goals and at this level he's a good squad player. I would also like to see VICENTE on penalties this season.

I'm with the OP, with a stronger midfield Barnes will spend more time in the last third of the pitch. I have no facts to back me up but from what my eyes recall he has a pretty good goals to shot ratio and I expect him to have far more shots this season. I accept there may be a scenario where he may not be 1st choice but I think he has enough about him to get back into the team and score around the number of goals the op is suggesting.
Just grateful that the haters don't sit around me at the Amex, they'd fecking spoil my enjoyment big time

I find it odd, that just one season after having the worst penalty record of all time, people want us to change penalty takers when we've finally settled on a good one.

Fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But why settle for a GOOD penalty taker? I think Vicente would be beteer, just my opinion.
I'm not in the 'hater' camp, but would be surprised if he gets that many goals given that Gus does not see him as an out and out striker.

He didn't last season but he may well be more of an outlet than a workhorse this year, given a stronger midfield and defence?
Seems to me that he has a better eye for goal at this level than CMS
