[JA News]

Reports this morning suggest that the Swans and Burnley have finally reached agreement over a deal that should see the wantaway striker leave SA1 before the end of the month.

Well if the rumours are it's an obligation to buy for £4m in the summer, and barnes in on loan as his replacement, I think it's a shocker.

No mobility whatsoever in final third.

I've only seen it on twitter mind so could be nonsense, but that deal worries me big time unless we are freeing up funds to bring in a player like Ogbene to bring in aswell.

Personally, I just want Obafani as far away from our club as possible, regardless of his ability he's a wrong un, let him be someone else's problem...

Barnes is a good player and brings that experience in, we was linked to him in the Prem wasn’t we? I’m guessing Burnley are covering his wages as part of the deal.

I’ve got no problem with bringing Barnes in. Experienced, physical and can score goals.

Thinks Barnes is a good option surprised he wants to come here.For the love of god we need pace though.Pointless having someone like Barnes if we can't get down the line and cross.

Hes only had 2 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances for the top of the table team walking the division. He's 33 too. Big no from me.

How many of those appearances were like the one down here a couple of weeks ago when he came on in the 89th minute? A majority of them I would wager.
Amazing that some supporters can turn their noses up at a player who has physical presence and is a battler and has scored over 40 Premier league goals. We're unlikely to get better on our budget.

could be a big help with our kids and softer players in getting us into the play offs but by Fluck we nace pace if we get in to the play offs
I did say could be
