Barnes back??

[JR1882]

Just seen an announcement video on insta is this for real?

Yeah, it's real.

[Hanoverusaclaret]

I love Ash. But for crying out loud. I presume this is more to do with him getting into coaching. He'll be great for the dressing room. Maybe a few cameos. Hopefully not thought of as a solution to our scoring problem

[GetIntoEm]

Negativity already haha. Unbelievable

[Lip]

Welcome back Bashley, let the sh!thousery begin.

[LoveCurryPies]

Welcome back Bashley, let the sh!thousery begin.

There is enough ‘sh!thousery’ with Hannibal. How many matches do you want to end with 10 players?

How many times has Barnes been sent off??

Can't see him playing much,but will be great for moral and give a boost to the players.

[GavlarClaret]

Somebody tell me he can play on Saturday... PLEASE

[gawthorpe_view]

Aye, Aye, it's true, he's back.

[Goliath]

Are we allowed to post his name now without it getting deleted and being banned

[fidelcastro]

How many times has Barnes been sent off??

A couple of times for us, I think.

[Pearcey]

Get in there! Still has something to offer for me! UTC

[Leisure]

A couple of times for us, I think.

From LCP's post thought it would be practically every other game!

[LoveCurryPies]

Believe me, I hope I am wrong.

[SouthamptonClaret]

Did he get sent off playing against us once? Two really early yellow cards st Brighton?

[Jimmymaccer]

Signed to the end of the season……

[burnmark]

Did he get sent off playing against us once? Two really early yellow cards st Brighton?

Yes. They went down to 9 men in the first half. We won 1-0 with Trippier scoring.

[boyyanno]

Some lucky ******* isn't going to see this until tomorrow morning and have an unbelievable Friday.

Great post mate..... Sent it to a few rovers supporting friends of mine, and they have all (7) expressed how gutted they are by this signing.

Only needs to be in and around the team. Be great for him to play also. They know he is our Tallisman, he knows what Saturday is about. This is nothing short of a terrific re-signing. He loves us like most of us love him.

Great to have him back. A warrior and a leader. Exactly what Derby day needs.

UTC.

[Georgiaclaret]

Wow - can’t believe it. Posted his name in the Rovers line-up thread yesterday as he was what we needed for Saturday and sure enough he signs today. Great hold up player and should be good for Fleming to play in the 10 role. Rovers defenders will be bricking themselves now and won’t surprise me if their goalkeeper falls ‘ill’ tomorrow. Once a claret, always a claret. Will get a massive ovation from the Burnley fans the next time he’s on the pitch. I don’t think he’d be coming if we hadn’t promised him game time. Can see one of our other strikers leaving now. Singing ‘aye, aye Ashley’ -COYC

[HunterST_BFC]

wowzer...
Let’s just hope he’s lost none of his pace

[HunterST_BFC]

Somebody tell me he can play on Saturday... PLEASE

Yep

[jurek]

If he helps us beat Rovers in whatever way then it'll be
seen as an inspired move.

If he helps us get promoted in whatever way (by scoring
a few winning goals) then it'll be seen as an inspired move.

Let's hope he can make an impact upfront.

Love to know whether this was a Parker initiative or a Pace one.

[Taffy on the wing]

Brilliant news!........My favourite player for many years.
Just having him around the place will help...he's a legend.

[Taffy on the wing]

Good announcement video too!

[It Is What It Is]

Barnes is back!!!
Good striker cover till "the board" sort out something
Even if he just plays on Saturday it will be massive...Eustace and the fiddlers will be bricking it...totally destroyed their game plan.
There is a god!!

[IanMcL]

Brilliant news. B'tardville will be trembling as though an Earthquake has struck.

What a welcome he will get.

[alboclaret]

Some lucky ******* isn't going to see this until tomorrow morning and have an unbelievable Friday.

Me.


Happy days.

[jojomk1]

Well, at least that has started my day off with a smile

Not sure whether it is with enthusiasm or incredulity

Says a lot about our current crop of strikers

[Woodleyclaret]

Aye Aye Ashley great news never should have gone

[SouthLondonexile]

Don’t care what he does ( so long as it’s legal)
He should never have left us in the first place.
I’ve not been so happy since Trevor Steven scored two goals against QPR away.

[gtclaret]

He's 35, couldn't get into the Norwich team,I hope it works,but it's most likely that as a player it won't.For those who are super excited about this signing,I have a suggestion that will blow your mind.We sign Andy Payton until the end of the season,why not he's a true claret,knew where the goal was , could do a job,worth a punt and all the usual drivel I read on here,What about Charlie Austin or better still Willie Irvine,his son on here would be delighted.

[BabylonClaret]

Wow that's a surprise. But its made me smile. Could he still do a job? He will definitely give the place a lift though

[Clovius Boofus]

I have a suggestion that will blow your mind.

Blow our minds? More like a small yapping dog desperate for attention.

[Stayingup]

A certain goalkeeper might be apprehensive now as the net bulges on Saturday!!!

He will give these talented youngsters of ours a lift.

Imagine being that much of a wart you start a sentence with for those who are super excited. Wether you think it's a good singing or not your attempt to ground people's happiness is rather unsettling.

[IanMcL]

Great news. Let's hope the media don't ask him who we are playing on Saturday!

[bfcjg]

His first job should be to kick Tresor firmly up the backside.

Yes, I can see Houdini pulling off a disappearing act. And hopefully he can take Tresor and Redmond with him as well.

[Stayingup]

I wasn't expecting Haaland. It's good to have a club legend back in whatever capacity it is.

[Cornwallclaret]

Great news.. he’s not what we need long term for sure but he’s exactly what we need right now
