Are you bored?

Sam Vokes is still playing, he was good too.

Let’s give Chris Iwelumo a ring aswell see what he’s up to.

Charlie Austin on the bench at Accy Stanley tonight for Swindon...currently winning 0-2.

Maybe give him a ring.

If none of them are interested, I've still got a pair of boots ......

SJF was 60 this week, give him a buzz

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:17 pm**

Wrighty might be busy though ... hasn't he just picked up his Gong from our number one fan 'The King'

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:25 pm**

Surely everyone agrees we could have done with him?

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:26 pm**

I must admit to being in the camp of getting rid of Barnes last season. Totally before his turnaround in form, but despite that turnaround I figured we needed better. If I’d known what our transfer business was going to bring I’d have had him for another season.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:29 pm**

Tony Philliskirk is already at the club. No need for phone calls.

Should have kept him for his influence with the youngsters

Zaroury and Benson worshipped him

Glad somebody knows what their talking about.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 10:12 pm**

Norwich fans really rate him. Was the right time for him to leave but only if we replaced him. Unfortunately, we didn’t.

Ings id have

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 11:03 pm**

We never recovered after Nathan Peel went!

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2023 11:31 pm**

Ha ha - this is where we have reached

120m quid spunked and we want Barnes back. What a mess

My answer is yes btw, Cos we have made an absolute pigs ear of it all

You can't say that about our defence, what if they are reading this forum? What about their mental health?

You should be getting behind the defence, what's your agenda?

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 8:50 am**

I’d have him back on a six month loan, he’s got the grit that this team is lacking!

Up till Saturday I would have definitely agreed, but to me he looked unfit and uninterested. It was like WHU were playing with 10 men.
A move back to the Turf might rejuvenate him, but he won't improve his fitness overnight.
(Ings, of course, not Barnes as in the thread title - we've gone off track!)

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:23 am**

Lots of ironic cheers from the Hammers fans when Ings was substituted on Saturday, sounds like that performance wasn't a one off. Great player for us, but I wonder if the injuries have taken their toll on him.

Exactly that.
He was a huge influence on their confidence and guided them, whilst clearly leading the line.

A big mistake, when signing loadsaplayers of a young age, to not retain his experience and clear expertise.

Hindsight is great, but without Foster's illness Barnes would have been nowhere near the side. I doubt he'd have stayed just to be mates in the dressing room, as he moved to play games

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:35 pm**

Barnes is very good at going down like been shot when touched on the back .. but apart from that he has had his day /.

Not hindsight. Never thought he should go, for the reasons given. We are very lightweight in strikers and he would definitely have played his part.

Is Delroy Facey still in reasonable shape?

I’ll take a trip down Mornington and see if he’s interested. I’ll ask Mike Conroy as well.

To get this thread back to something that slightly resembles a serious discussion on a Premier League Clubs main forum:

Amdouni is now, even at this early stage of his career, 10-20 times the player Barnes was at his very peak and will go on to have career Barnes could only dream of.

Not suggesting he isn’t ,but I think Barnes would have help us out no end for this season even just as an extra body.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 6:18 pm**

Some of the names suggested on here obviously are sarcastic ,but does anyone seriously think that Jay Rod is a better option than Barnes?

Definitely ,but his goal scoring prowess has diminished to next to nothing and he doesn’t tend to upset the defenders.

i agree.
But we can't be sure that Barnes would be more effective back in the PL.

Barnes scored once in 23 appearances during our last season in the PL... And that was a penalty!

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 7:26 pm**

Interesting that Jay Rod was in the Wembley final
In 2009 against this weekends opponents… I thought he been around a long time and he has

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 7:31 pm**

Dear Wout,
Well I know you like playing in the PL, you told us that much, well we need a player who can create and on the odd occasion score a goal as well. If we don't post any negative comments would you consider coming back and saving our season? If the answer is no I will be chuffed to bits however if you do come back I promise not to post what I really think.
Big hugs

Dear Mr Vinrogue,

Ashley Barnes scored 6 goals in 39 appearances last season, playing up front for the division's top scorers. Try and imagine, using this information, how many he'd score in the PL.

Pretty irrelevant since Jay Rod wasn't out of contract - unlike Barnes,and we weren't going to keep both.
