Crazy how some people are slating Barnes. He's scored double digit goals last season, and been consistent over the time when he's been fit. A player scoring and assisting that many in the best league in the world isn't something that comes along through academies like ours on a regular basis. It's also something we dreamed about from a winger before we won the title. Some "fans" are truly deluded.
And on those complaining about the fee, we didn't really have much leverage. We're not PL, need the money to rebuild and have a player who wants to leave /.won't tie himself down to a long term contract. No way could we have demanded much more to be honest.
