Crystal Palace are considering a move for Burnley striker Ashley Barnes, Sky Sports News understands.

The Eagles have been trying to sign first-choice target Khouma Babacar but are yet to reach an agreement with Fiorentina.

Fiorentina striker Khouma Babacar is Crystal Palace's first-choice target. Roy Hodgson has between £10m and £12m to spend on a striker this month with the club now down to their final two options of the window.

I never really got ashley barnes. Mainly as he i saw him on the left wing - so not really his fault he was terrible at it.

Apparently he's better up front - i mostly saw him sitting on the ground moaning to the ref

I can see him doing really well at Palace, which is another reason I'd hate to see him go there.

Would have loved him to have stayed with us. Loved the battling spirit and how hard he worked to get from non league football to the Premier League.

He's that type of slow, non-tricksy winger that a few managers seem to really like - a la Dirk Kuyt, Jon Walters, James Milner, Gary Hart ..... basically David Beckham but without a stunning cross. I'm not a massive fan of them either but they do seem to keep some managers very happy

Why would Burnley let him go? Don't see this happening.

I don't really get why Burnley would want to ship Ashley out. He seems integral to their spirit, their togetherness, their style that has them doing so well. A January transfer or loan out just makes little sense

Maybe Ash is running down his deal again like he did with us to get that final big pay day...

Burnley haven't got time to get a replacement really.

Not sure if Barnes is critical to their Home Grown Player numbers or not.

If Burnley will let him go, why aren’t we after him? He gives us something we haven’t got. I will be very pissed off if he goes to Palace.

Seem to remember that Oscar wanted to keep him but the powers that be didn’t. Has he upset TB or PB at some stage? Barnes himself said he didn’t feel wanted here before he left. If Oscar wanted him why would he feel like that? Not sure some of the wanky fans who moaned at him during games would have swung him either.

If he’s not coming here I’d like to see him respond like Ian Chapman did when told Palace were after him. “**** off” was allegedly his response before he walked out of the room.
