I think his future lies elsewhere. He has been a good player for us but we need to doing better than Barnes in terms of quality if we are to improve.

Really hope we continue our hunt for this guy. Looks to have that extra guile that will complete our fire power.

Get him and Wood we need to get some off the books.
Barnes is probably cooked and Danny Agyei needs to get out and play football, possibly with a recall clause.

The striker, who scored 14 goals last season, has been the subject of a bid from the Premier League club and admits he is tempted to leave

Florin Andone is tempted by a move to the Premier League but says he is "comfortable" at Deportivo La Coruna.

The Romania international has been linked with a switch to Burnley, who have reportedly had an offer for the striker worth €13 million rejected.

Burnley 11/1 to win at Spurs

Andone hit 12 La Liga goals for Depor last season despite his side finishing a lowly 16th in the table, but the 24-year-old says he will not push to exit the club and hopes Arsenal's out-of-favour striker Lucas Perez arrives to boost the team's forward options.

"There are many teams who have been interested, but it is very difficult to leave, first because I am very comfortable here," Andone told AS.

"The offer from Burnley is tempting personally, but not so much for the club. For me the offer is much stronger, but I understand.

"After that offer I found [Depor president] Tino [Fernandez] and he said: 'You're not leaving here ever, kid.'

"The president rules, I respect him and I also want to stay. I love and value myself and I want to be in a place like that. I feel like I can be better than last year. I think I'm in the right place to keep growing.

"If Lucas comes it is to add [to the squad]. It is clear that if he comes it is to play, but I do not see him as my competition. I'm on a good level and I do not think anyone is interested in being on the bench.

"I would like to team up with Lucas, I think we could do good things together. Complement each other and learn from each other, myself more from him because he has more experience. If he comes I would be very happy."

Missing out a comma? That's the best you got? Like I said,(!), always looking for the negative. Cheer up pal!

Good intelligent running to get on the end of the cross. Vokes is a better header of the ball tho .

Physically strong gives it out. However happy to take a smashing

Impressed with him so far tonight, looks the sort many would be after so a bit puzzling but grab him if we can I say. I would just worry that we'll be upsetting some very good players if we leave them out to play 4-4-2 but hey, not a problem we have had much in the last half century so lets not grumble.

Ok, so express an opinion ? Don't worry if it's not a popular one, the big boys won't hurt you. Do you think he would offer something different to what we've got ? Do you think it will happen ?

Eh? My original comment was you wouldn't see it happening as you never see anything positive.

"Don't worry if it's not popular". Why would I worry if something wasn't popular? Do you? Is that why you post something because you know it wouldn't be popular? I think you do and you just like arguing. Which is why I called you Captain Glass Half Full.

"The big boys won't hurt you". Big boys as in who? Hurt me as in on an Internet forum? As in everybody' being keyboard warriors?

Mate you really need to chill out and maybe think that no one gives a flying what you think, as they won't what I do. Cheer up! Stop being negative ALL the time! We're 12th in the Premier League Ffs
