Could be a ploy to get more money out of them? Cynical I know but I just don’t see us actually recalling him again while he’s developing so much there... Actually we’re Leicester, of course I do WBA paid a £400k loan fee up front for Barnes and I am led to believe that the contract states they will owe us a further £1m if he stays put there all season and they get promoted. Personally, I don't think Barnes will be overly keen to come back in Jan and sit on the bench for another 5 months after last seasons "fall out" with Puel so unless he is actually going to be playing, I suspect he would rather be staying put at West Brom until the end of the season...or potentially even moving on to a PL club for the 2nd part of the season to help in their relegation fight (unconfirmed rumour!).

Harvey would do well for Newcastle if he went there. I think he would suit their style of play.

Gazza M Posted 12 October 2018 Posted 12 October 2018 I think he must be enjoying his football, playing every week and doing well. No need to come back and sit on our bench.
mozartfox Posted 12 October 2018 Posted 12 October 2018 Can we take him back and send a few others there instead for a UKP400,000 loan fee?
Tuna Posted 12 October 2018 Posted 12 October 2018 Baggies fan on their forum reckons they should offer us 10 million to keep him there for the rest of the season. Sounds absolutely ridiculous but shows how important he is to them.

Edit, the rest of the season???! Haha. Jesus.
Clever Fox Posted 13 October 2018 Posted 13 October 2018 I'd say WB would bite our hand of for a deal at 10 Million. His career is clearly taking off and good luck to him. He can have a big future here with us as part of our developing very young and talented squad being assembled by Puel. Let both grow together.

If they offer even a tenth of that we should absolutely snap their hands off. Free money.

But such are business deals sometimes. It's been said before but if we really did use him I wouldn't mind him being recalled: recall Benkovic to give Maguire a new partner, buy Clyne to shore up right back and recall Barnes for a better attacking threat. If he reaches a plateau of improvement at West Brom by January then sure recall him for a Prem loan or if we think we will use him ourselves over our already fairly decent attacking players.

Some very good points made here. In theory, recalling these two could save us Millions. Clyne may be worth adding, but no one else 'new' needs to come in the next window which we all know is always extremely difficult. Need to shift a few out though. Benkovic he must surely be recalled as we need CB's that are mobile and stick around the for the whole 90 minutes.
Langston Posted 15 October 2018 Posted 15 October 2018 Not sure I get the clamour in some parts to recall him and give him a Prem loan. Surely he'd develop more in an attacking West Brom side, that play to his strengths, he's clearly settled and playing week in, week out – than move to a Huddersfield, Newcastle or Cardiff, lose most weeks and play pretty turgid football. A lower level sure, but he'll be full of confidence.

He'll only make a decent prem loan if he goes to a club that are decent defensively, are making chances but are sorely missing a decent attacking midfielder.
matty98 Posted 15 October 2018 Posted 15 October 2018 Rather Barnes stay at West Brom than loaning him to a lower premier League side, he'll get far more chances to improve his attacking play there than at Newcastle where he'd probably only get a few touches in the opposition half every game.

Ric Flair Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 Will he get a place in the squad tonight, let alone a starting spot? What a waste of time if not.
