Gone Elsewhere Ashley Barnes

[brownblade]

We could have easily have gone up that season with Allison. Barnes is only coming in, if he does, as back up, with twenty minutes to go in games I can't think of many better to hold up play, win fouls, score the odd goal. I think think he'll do much better than you think.

An Arsenal mate of mine let me sit next to him (no fee) back in 2019, for Arsenal v Burnley, early in the season. Undoubtedly Ashley Barnes was one of the most effective players on the pitch. Also my mate said before kick off that he hates Barnes.

Obviously I'm not desperate to sign him now But if it's true we want him, he must still be capable of subbing on as a much better option than a rookie teenager.

Go on then Irv what have you got?
No point in being cryptic with injury news, nobody gets bollocked for leaking those stories.

I’m not being cryptic- he’s not out for the season at all. Anticipate him back mid-Jan

 

[Green7361]

Might be in the minority but I'd like us to spend a bit of money and bring in a striker. Take on board Wilders comments about the group chemistry, my preference would be for a long-term solution rather than Ashley Barnes (no disrespect to him).

So we are looking to sign Barnes and Burnley are linked with benrahma and mcburnie,

They can have McBurnie.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Surely worth signing an Austria (<20) international

I wasn't been a dick, I just mean people drip feed information when they don't need to.
You anticipate him back by then or the club do? Do you know if it is his back or is it his hammy?

On the bench at Kenilworth Road this afternoon

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Yep. They'd rather play with no CF. They're playing 3 wingers up front instead

 

[Mendi]

Hopefully the club can make this happen soon.

They brought him on at 0-0 after the 68th minute and they won the game in the 73rd minute 1-0. He could be a very useful addition depending on the outlay.

I take it you don't want promotion.
A strike force of Moore and Barnes is not going to get us promotion, "They don't like it up em Mr Mainwaring"
Both Sunderland's goals involved pace, which is what modern football is about now.

 

[Torrix1889]

Signing Barnes would indicate one of 2 things....Wilder post covid is back and losing the plot or the new owners haven't got a pot to piss in.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

No thanks, slow, awful player, opposite of what we need.

the 2 sunderland lads up front highlighted exactly what were missing weve no pace at all even our top striker campbell hasnt got that much

 

[Varkanoid]

So the "Gone Elsewhere" is from an old post, damn.

Could pop up with vital goals of the bench.

but Wilders not a modern manager, he’s a stubborn grind our a result type of old fashioned manager

well he needs to get up to speed and quick 56 i think hes got the rest of this season to prove himself dont think our new owners will persist with him if we dont go up this season

 

[HeySethUTB]

It would be like playing Higdon and Sammon upfront. They Sound and would be more effective as Pokémon.

Barnes?

Just like he's "popped up" with vital goals for Norwich? So vital they want rid.

Not wanting to be a bit of a winge but how many spellling mistakes can one thread have?

Oh you have no idea if I’m contributing

if he hits the bench a) certainly not getting a goal and b) has missed by miles.

 

[Mendi]

Unbelievable news he has re-joined Burnley tonight. Dream return for him.

Maybe Mcbernie returns to blades
Foreign loans are different to English loans I don't think they count in the match day 5

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Yessssssssss

 

[HeySethUTB]

GTFI!! I reckon McBurnie comes back to us now

 

[dillis]

Strange signing
