Guest michaelfoster Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just came back from a long term injury & played very well against Man Utd tonight, scored a fantastic FK & his pen wernt too bad either. Maybe we should keep an eye on his progress/fitness in the near future, no idea how much he would cost though. Opinions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Wanted us to sign him a few years ago. Still stand by that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 A whole thread dedicated to Giles Barnes? Cajun will piss his pants in ecstatic delight when he sees this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Woop woop. Good young player, had injury problems. Can't see why he wouldn't be attainable at a "decent" price. Is also quite verstatile. Would be worth a punt but will probably end up somewhere like Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I had to adapt to survive. Now its more "We won't get him because we are in shit, the least attractive club ever!" when it was once "he will come and we will probably go on to be a better version of Messi".

oldtype Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It would make sense to sign him. That's probably why we won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LucaAltieri Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Roeder wanted to sign him. Shame Fat Fred didn't back him by getting in the players he wanted... ...oh shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Libertine Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Roeder wanted to sign him. Shame Fat Fred didn't back him by getting in the players he wanted... ...oh shit. he's hardly played since then because of various injuries. if derby go down he'll be going for next to nothing. worth a gamble.

madras Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Roeder wanted to sign him. Shame Fat Fred didn't back him by getting in the players he wanted... ...oh s***. he's hardly played since then because of various injuries. if derby go down he'll be going for next to nothing. worth a gamble. would be a gamble taking on another injury prone player. what sort of inuries has he had ?

Ooooooh the knee one sounds iffy. seriously i'd only risk an injury prone player right now if he "WAS" the deal as opposed to a risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest quklaani Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 That free kick was incredible, over the wall and in off the base of the post, you don't see that too often. He'll be injured next week though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 never won a premier league game. we should sign him and gareth bale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 £3m, and loan back to Derby for the rest of the season. Let him build back his fitness there. I think they would consider that considering where they may be next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 well he's come back from injury, played one game and scored a couple, so that one game must add, what, about £4m to his price tag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would consider that considering where they may be next season We need players in now, if the budget's as tight as we are led to believe, I don't think we can afford to blow any of it on a player we won't be able to pick till next season.

Guest Edd Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Considering how many of our problems over the years have been caused by injuries, I can't believe how many people are suggesting we gamble on a player that has a terrible injury record and has only managed 1 start this season.

biggs Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I had a thread about him a while back and shouted him up saying what a fine prospect he was bags of skill etc and i must say he is worth a punt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
