Ashley Barnes is off if buying clubs meet asking price...

[upthealbion1970]

Indeed...Awesome - As he proved against Blackpool.

Too many knock Barnes and criticise him...He is, pound for pound, a better all round striker than Hoskins and Mackail-Smith WHEN HE IS PLAYED AS A STRIKER not as a left winger.

Been saying this FOR AGES, its amazing how well barnesy plays in his natural position up top.

Difference is Salzburg finished 2nd last season so qualify for UEFA Europa League. Not something we can offer him.

On that basis, Oscar Garcia should have stayed at Maccabi who are playing Champions League fooball next season!

Funny you go and say this then splatter it all over twitter !

I haven't posted on twitter.

NSC nicked my Avatar, perhaps you are confusing me with that account.

So did Motherwell, not exactly a hot competition until the quarters and Salzburg wont be getting there.

Yes but his wife didn't want to live there.

I have no idea if he wants to come or not or even if the rumour is true, but always got the impression players main targets are the chance to win things to play in Europe and money. Maybe Jonathan Soriano motivation is to play for Oscar again.

Losing Ashley Barnes will increase the squad's average IQ though. No more Mr Meat Head.

He's not going to win any thing in Europe at Salzburg and the Europa League is below the League cup at the early stages.

I think the motivation is this time next year you could be playing in the English Premier League, which is better than you might win the Austrian League.

I like Barnes a lot he's a potential game changer and is incredibly energetic and works hard for the team. Would be a bit gutted if he leaves TBH, more so than I was for SD.

 

[Sam Ovett]

I'd be upset if we lost him to a championship club but a bit less so if he went to the Prem - id be happy for him

 

[glasfryn]

THIS RUMOUR HAS BEEN ABOUT FOR A WEEK OR SO.
it was Hull and Norwich that were interested
and I seem to remember an interview with Gus where he said Barnes will probably sell for about 1m and everyone fell about laughing
hope he does not go ...but suspect if he reads NSC on a regular basis he will

He can do better than the Conference Premier though I think.

That rumour was that clubs were interested in buying him. This rumour is that brighton are interested in selling him.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

i would be disappointed but we wouldn't be selling him and not replacing him (i'd hope) so there should be a good player coming in

More importantly, what if we lost Harley and Barnes before the start of the season? Who will NSC pick on?

Think CMS is next in line.

Yeah but Stephen Hawking's hold up play is shit

I would be very disappointed to see AB go. Best one-up striker we have after Leo, excellent 2nd striker and very good in the position that Gus used him, as box to box wide midfielder. Unless we are playing Leo up front for 90 mins every game, i think we need Barnes.

Because other posters are jealous when someone knows something they don't, and just like to hurl abuse. Neecha will soon go the same way as others on here that had info, and give up sooner rather than later, due to the sad little bully boys.

As for Ashley Barnes, anything we get over a £30 will be a bonus.

Mr Burns is alive & well.

 

[beorhthelm]

so lets get this right, he's officially been transfer listed, or on an internal unofficialy transfer list? otherwise this seems nothing but rurmour that someone might be interested and he might be sold if the right price came along, which is the same for any player at any club.

It's not too hard to understand. The club have a price in mind, which if is met, they will sell Barnes. It doesn't mean he's transfer listed, not all players have a threshold price at which they're sold, for example Suarez might move to Madrid for £40m, but would cost Manchester United £45m to buy, two different prices for the same player.
