Barnes last game for us...
... on Sunday. According to the press conference he's just given:
"It would mean a massive amount [to keep Burnley in the Premier League]. The club have shown faith in me through everything and hopefully I can go and give that back in my last game."
Not wholly unexpected. I just hope we can stay up and give him the proper send off and appreciation he deserves after 8 years at the club.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
I thought I’d read on here that he was likely to be here for another season?

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Been a terrific servant for us, and a bargain price. Like so many from the Dyche era, he owes us nothing for what he has given back to the club - but one final goal (or two) from him would be fantastic - and a load of timewasting/diving if we're ahead of course

He does have an option for another year but looks like it's in the clubs favour.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
It will be really sad to see this team that has bonded so well for many seasons broken up.
Not all of them are top class players but they are all top class blokes and all have given everything for the club.
I wish every single one of them all the very best whether they are retiring from football or going on to other clubs.
Lets give them all a rousing send off on Sunday.win,lose or draw.

Well if his replacement is half as good as Barnes then he will be a hell of a player. He has been terrific for us and scored some great goals that have both memorable and important.

Alan Pace…
If Barnes is going then I’d say that we are confident about signing a replacement for him. I’d also suggest that his drink/driving conviction last year hasn’t done him any favours with the new regime either. (Probably Stephens will go for the same reasons…)

He has given us some good times, but it's time to move on.
Played way above his transfer fee and let's hope his replacement does similar or better.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Just watched the press conference. On his contract extension Barnes says (I’m paraphrasing), ‘that’s parked to one side until after Sunday, there’s a conversation to be had with the owners’. So I think this thread may be a bit premature.

As with the majority of Dyche’s signings Barnes has been a superb servant to the club. Too much to ask that he signs off with smashing a winner in!

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Taking the emotion out of it, (given what Barnes has done for this club in the past), a 32 yr old striker who, until last night, hadn't scored all season and has suffered lately with injuries kind of makes the decision easy.
In fact, the only thing keeping Jay-Rod at the club is the 'one of our own, local boy' link to feed the 'favourite underdog' nonsense.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Bargain for £400k, made his presence known when on the pitch, was unplayable at times alongside Wood.
The opposition defenders often knew they'd been in a game against those two.
If he goes then I've no issue with that, we need to upgrade.
Best wishes to him wherever he ends up, was an integral part of the team/squad.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Long been one of my favourite players to pull on a Burnley shirt.
Unfortunately the last year or two, he hasn't been half the player he was 4-5 years ago.
I wouldn't be getting rid of him if we end up in the champ next season though as I reckon he's still got a couple of seasons left in him yet.
If we stay up, it's probably time for him to move on. Whatever happens, I don't want him playing against us.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
It’s a tough game for him on Sunday given that if we win it’ll probably be the end of his Burnley career but if we lose he might get another year.

Certainly on the club site interview he said contract discussions would be left until after Sunday's game.

Agree with this.
Think Ash'd be good for another season if the worst happens on Sunday, the Championship would seem like his ideal environment.
(So obviously, I hope he's on his way )

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Always been a player I would rather have in my team than the opposition. At his best a great instinctive goal scorer. Hope he gets a great move but not to a team we will be playing next season !!!! Just score our winner on Sunday Ash to become an instant hero even to the haters on here

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Whatever league we're in I think this summer is the right time for him to go. He's too injury prone now, and when he's on the pitch we're forced into playing a certain way.
Re: Barnes last game for us...
Scored some huge goals for us but it’s the right time for him to leave, he's become increasingly limited. I'd start him against Newcastle though, he's a big game player and would not be surprised at all if he has a big say in our survival.

I'd much rather we kept Barnes for a year over Rodriguez 2 years. Shocking decision imo, Barnes' been struggling with injuries and needed a run in the side to show what he can still offer, I think he offers more than Rodriguez.

I've always liked Ashley Barnes, gives it his best shot every time. it might suit him better to drop a division in order to get a longer contract than his one year extension with BFC.

Re: Barnes last game for us...
Reminds me of Vokes in that he's not put a foot wrong and given everything to the club but it's just time to move on.
He could probably do another season in with us in the Championship from the bench but if the gods smile upon us and we survive he's too limited to keep around.
With Vydra it feels like we're losing a player, with Barnes, it feels like we're losing a Claret.

Typifies Burnley - loyal, hard working, gritty, unfashionable...what a signing he has been. If he does leave, he'll leave a big hole in the squad, and will no doubt miss his commitment and attitude. There aren't many like him around.
