Celtic after Barnes
- Thread starter Urchin

Seems everyone rates this young striker apart from a few Albion fans who simply won't see him as anything other than a clogger.

I rate him, just a bit of a hot head

He would score for fun if played centrally in that team. Really hope we keep hold of him.

Have any of these teams actually watched him play?!!
Well i'm happy to chuck £100 in towards his air fare up there.

Nothing to do with him getting two straight reds in succession when we really needed him, no?

Couldn't agree more.
Couldn't blame him for a second - he'll go on to be a very, very good player, with or without us. He's got phenomenal determination to make it.
Seconded !

Is barnes coming to the end of his contract? I imagine all of this talk is his agent doing his 'job'.
Hopefully we'll give him a new deal as long as he's not holding us over a barrell.

Other than on here I can't honestly say that I see/hear Barnes get all this dogs abuse that people bang on about?! From what I can recall whenever he is subbed off or his name read out before kick-off he gets a decent reception. Plus he is one of very few Albion players who actually has a song regularly sung about him during matches..
Unless he is a regular user of NSC then I very much doubt that the fans attitude towards him will drive him north of the border. More likely, as someone has already pointed out, it will be his loyalty to Gus, couple with the clubs need to raise funds which will lead to him moving on.
I like Barnes as a player, but I seem to be one of the few who are neither one extreme or another on him. He's certainly not a clogger, however he's certainly not going to get us anymore than £2m in transfer fees. Still young so the potential is there, but a temper which will always hold him back in my opinion.

I don't understand how someone who turns up to watch football (therefore, you would assume, understands it) can not only not think that he is a very good player, but actually have the opinion that he is a BAD one.
If people on here stated "I think he is OK" then fine. That's below the standard I would put him in but that's not a ridiculous view.
To have the opinion that he is BAD suggests to me that the person stating this has little grasp of football and skillset which Barnes has. I imagine they also though Poyet's football was 'boring'.
