Scored again for Burnley. Honestly think he could be the main man to keep them up this season if he continues to perform like this.

But would you not agree that he has brought a lot more than goals to the side this season? He was outstanding in the game against Man City for example

Ings is a different league to Barnes.

Play well together, not much between them imho.

With so much (some understandable) negativity on here, positive threads about success should be applauded, especially when it concerns ex-Albion players plying their trade elsewhere

And it's the cheaper one we miss the most

I love it when Ashley scores, every goal is a kick in the knackers to the thickos that abused him when he was here. It also serves as a reminder to the club hierarchy that player contracts should not be left to the last minute if you're intent on keeping them.

I think Barnes fully deserved his shot at the big time and has proved himself at least to be a decent Championship level player, along with a lot of his peers playing in the Premier League.

strong and stable with me, or...
How on earth are we meant to get over letting him go 12 months ago when he is doing what he's doing in the top flight and we're facing relegation from the Championship!? We rightly in my opinion shouldn't be getting over it as it was a shocking decision to have made. If you don't learn from and stare your errors in the face, then we'll keep on making them.

Madness. Ings is a far superior player.
Leicester fans really dislike Ulloa at the moment. His first touch is shocking and the goals have dried up. It probably doesn't help that he's playing in a shit team, but it's looking like you robbed them for £8m.
Great, maybe we could 'do a Zaha' - get them to lend him to us for the rest of the season and then buy him back for a fraction of what we sold him for in the summer.
Wrong.They are both in the Premier.
You're right for two reasons: Firstly we must remember that our mistakes in the transfer market aren't limited to duff purchases. Selling Ulloa for 8m was fair enough; letting Barnes go for 500k was dreadful. Secondly the fact that he is good enough to play in the Prem also serves as a reminder that a fair number of Brighton fans can't recognise a decent player all the while they've got holes in their arses.

And why the abuse of JFC or Stockdale will come back and bite them, just as Barnes has.

We did, he wasn't worth anywhere near that, shame we chose not to reinvest the money though. Massive error of judgement by TB and whoever he listens to not to make any real effort to replace Barnes and Ulloa.
