We don't normally play him up top, but when we do he comes up with the goods. He could score 20+ in the Championship if he had a team built round him (like Austin had).

Almost half his appearances for us have been in midfield. His record when playing up front is actually about 1 in 2.

One of Our leading goal scorers for the last two years? Most natural finisher we have IMO
Problem we have is that he's out of contract in the summer.
We lost one centre forward (Murray) for nothing two years ago, and won't want the same happening again.

Better than Kurt Nogan though

Plymouth have a sell-on clause which means we'd net around £300k. For our second best striker. No way Mourinho.

Well, I said someone was leaving the club. It's NOT Barnes to Burnley though. I'd be more concerned if Ash agreed a new contract #'bhafc

We have a history of letting players go cheap compared to similar players at other clubs. Exceptions of course but generally we seem to give in to cheap.
Barnes stats are very good , English , young. Proven to a point. Any other club / player in this situation would be a good 1.5 million. .
Regardless of how he divides opinion, his stats alone should push price up.
Very disappointed if goes for less than 1.25m and would mean we need 2 in.
A top notch replacement would soften the blow but its going to upset a lot if goes cheap.

Kurt Nogan!
I recall him getting both goals for you in a 2-1 win at our place in the early-ish 90s. On the back of that I was delighted when we bought him. In hindsight that was his best game at Turf Moor.

Can we please sell Ashley Barnes. He's a player who doesn't really have an attribute. He isn't quick and never takes an opponent out of the game by taking one on, on his own. He's not strong and doesn't hold the ball up well. He never out jumps the defender. This idea that he works hard isn't their when I've compared his work rate to Ulloa's in the games this season. Ulloa has been covering for him. He' ok in front of goal but how many chances does he miss (!) including that one against Palace in the semi's. He's done well for himself in a successful team over the years with others creating for him. He also seems like a bit of a gobby t***. I suppose I shouldn't complain though, at least he never gets sent off or trip referees over.
I'd drive him to somewhere near Burnley and pay a taxi to take him the rest of the way.

Burnley are an established Championship side with a recent flirt in the Premier League.
There is no evidence to suggest that they wouldn't pay him more than us.
He might feel that he is not getting the opportunities he desires here.
I do find it odd that people always dismiss these transfer rumours with - Why would he want to move there?
Granted, Burnley is not an urban utopia, but I don't think his contract would stipulate that he has to live in the town.

For a period Kurt Nogan was one of the most lethal strikers I've ever seen play for Brighton, and that includes the likes of Ward and Zamora. He scored goals for fun, from all sorts of angles and distances. He then went on a wretched spell without a goal, which left him unable to even poke the ball home from a couple of feet (away at Plymouth). Rumour suggests he developed a liking for Colombian marching powder and was never quite the same again.

To get in better would cost a lot more than 500K. That would be very bad business.

Where do we find this bargain? Even Spanish strikers cost us 2 million euros.
