All depends if Lita has his loan spell extended. If Lita goes back to his parent club then Barnesy will stay as 3rd choice striker once CMS is fully fit again.

Hope not so I said no.

Back in September I would have said yes, probably, unfortunately. But now with no sign of CMS returning, Hoskins out, and seemingly no love for Lita, none of the youth tea stepping up prior to Lita, what options would that leave us with if Ulloa gets injured or suspended?
Maybe if he does go it will be late in january and by that time CMS will be back. As things stand at the moment I don't think it would be ideal.

I put Yes when really I meant 'no'. At least that's more out of hope more than anything.MattBackHome

Nope. He has a role to play. He's a solid squad player and can also play wide. I reckon he'll earn a contract extension in January to be honest.

CMS is due to return to fitness in January. However, we have no idea what his form and sharpness are going to be like, and even if he hits the ground running it would still be reasonably sensible to have 3 fit first team strikers. So no, unless they offer silly money.
If a £5M bid were offered I'd imagine TB would drive him up there, pay his removal expenses, and buy him a new house. Even if a contract were signed he's £1M tops
This.
And I've heard that he's a proper "club man" on the training ground. i.e. he has no interest in moving to somewhere like Burnley.
It has nothing to do with Lita. Why on earth would we sell Barnes?
A young championship striker with a good goals record who is improving every season.
Riiiiight. I'd be disappointed with anything less than £3m.

CMS and Hoskins are both more likely to go than Barnes.

Does it depend on whether he signs a contract extension? Am I right that he's out of contract in the summer, so we might want to cash in rather than let him go free?

You'll be disappointed.
I like Barnes, and the way that he's got on with it this year after his disciplinary problems last year is admirable. However, when you can buy foreign strikers like Ulloa for 2m, I can't see anyone paying that sort of cash for Barnes.
