If Barnes says he wants to play for Brazil, the rules will be changed for Barnes.

Yeh well my thinking was that remember at the start of last season Glen Murray was scoring a few for Brighton and there were calls for him to be selectedfanzone wrote:Are you mad?

Re: Ash for England?
When Abraham scored 2 for Chelsea, the chance was gone. Even though our Ashley is twice the player.

Re: Ash for England?
Barnes' Premier League stats since the turn of the year
Goals scored: 13 (third most)
Shots on target: 27 (second most)
Big chances: 20 (second most)
Duels won: 182 (second most)
Aerial duels won: 110 (fifth most)
Chances created: 13
Shot conversion rate: 29.55%
Barnes keeping pace with Aguero & Mane
To say Barnes has enjoyed a productive 2019 would be an understatement and perhaps an insult to his attacking prowess, as he is very much keeping pace with some of the division's most potent finishers.
As it stands, only Liverpool's Sadio Mane and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero have found the onion bag more times than Barnes since the turn of the year, with the duo netting 15 and 16 goals respectively to the Englishman's 13.
Dissecting that statistic a little further reveals the true scope of Barnes' insatiable form: he has outscored the likes of Mohamed Salah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Harry Kane, despite not possessing the world class talent behind him to unlock doors and create countless chances.
But any fear that this stellar spell was just a flash in the pan has been well-and-truly dispelled in these formative Premier League stages, with the 29-year-old already boasting four goals to his name, while having the fourth-best goals per 90 minutes ratio (1.4) and best shots per 90 (4.6 for players with 200+ minutes).
What's even more impressive is not just Barnes' form in front of goal, but his overall gameplay, with the old school forward possessing that Diego Costa-esque bullishness which gives defenders nightmares for weeks.
Indeed, traditional No 9s are in vogue at the minute, and Barnes is a standard-bearer of these throwback centre-forwards, but if he keeps up his sensational form, he could be this season's surprise Golden Boot package.

I’d love to see it but it would be a sad state of affairs if England didn’t have better options.
Re: Ash for England?
Selfishly I hope not, there is the injury risk plus his head could get turned. I don't think he is a Southgate style player either.

If he played for another club he would probably be in contention for an England call up...Not while he is a Burnley payer...No one likes us etc...

Re: Ash for England?
Yeah, I know he’s British, but he qualified to play for Austria (like loveable cockney Tony Cascarino qualified for the Republic of Ireland cos he’d once been on a stag do in Dublin) and I think they came to look at him.

Re: Ash for England?
Moneyball style player. His statistics are fantastic and if you actually pay close attention to his contributions on the pitch there is no denying he has fantastic skill and technique. But luckily for us he’s not very fashionable, I don’t know the reasons why, but he’s unlikely to attract the top clubs or indeed the England manager.
Re: Ash for England?
Agreed. If his name was Barninho having signed from Corinthians for 15m I am sure the league and pundits would be wetting themselves over him.Rileybobs wrote:Moneyball style player.

By most modern rules he did but not by the right wing Austrian rules. This is acceptable because Ash doesn’t play right wing.Vegas Claret wrote:I thought I'd read somewhere that the Austria thing didn't materialise because he didn't actually meet the rules for qualification

Re: Ash for England?
This is a stupid as them Norwich fans who think Barcelona are going to nab Pukki off them as he’s scored a few in the first couple of games of the seasons. Barnes won’t play for England while at Burnley that’s for sure. He’s too old now anyway. Southgate will play Abraham, even though he’s nowhere near good enough, but he plays for ‘Frank Lampard’s Chelsea’ as they are now known.

Re: Ash for England?
Don't think he will play for England while with us and I don't want him to. Don't want him in the shop window. He's our golden goose that keeps giving (I never thought I'd say that at one time) and I don't want anything to spoil what we've got going on just now.
Re: Ash for England?
If the ash before the oak
Then we shall have a soak
But if the oak before the ash
Then we shall have a splash
I expect the Ash has had his day for a Cap
Unless it was from Holland

A bit like Andy Townsend who uses phrases like 'us and we' when covering England games

Re: Ash for England?
Not sure he is an England style striker. If he starts notching a lot of goals this season ( early days yet) he won’t be ignored though. His all round game suits us and I personally like a ‘Costa’ like centre forward.

Re: Ash for England?
I think it would be an advantage as a striker, that he offers something no other England forward does. Bringing like for like strikers on doesn't frighten the opposition. I'd try him, but I dont think Southgate will.
I'd also be seriously worried about holding onto him, if he ever did.
