oafc1955 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Has anything materialised with this guy....the last I heard was that we had a look at him and apparently sent him out to Stockport to get fit. Is this true... Any update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) He was training with us one morning, signed a short term deal at County by the afternoon. He's played a few times for them. Not noticed his name on the scorers for County. My guess is well wait for the transfer window now before bringing anybody in.

opinions4u Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Lee Barnard please. Well if it was a straight choice between the two ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Barnard hasn't really lost form like Dickinson have, they're not really comparable situations. Barnard just doesn't get a look in at Southampton, no shame in that, if a team in League One signed him permanently, once he'd settled in he'd bang in the goals. His loan spell here wasn't bad tbf, I'd take him up front for sure. He's a quality striker at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesidg Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) If we got Barnard on loan til the end of the season he may score 10, though the service would need to improve to the forwards. LJ may have a sneaky try to get Paddy Madden from Yeovil? I think we could do with some impetus in 3 key areas: A Wes type midfield player, for whilst he's out injured. A good winger, who can supply a Born goal scorer Edited December 26, 2013 by stevesidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KusungaIsGod Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Why in earth would you waste a wage bill on Liam Dickinson. Bring back Warren Feeney whilst you're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Why would Madden want to play for Johnson's son? Isn't he trying to get rid? Has Madden not been a success in The Championship? League 1 might be his level, we can dream, if only he could show some form and an eye for goal like last season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC10 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Can't see Madden wanting to play for LJ after falling out with Johnson senior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yep - i begin to question a players real motivation when he appears content to merely pick up a wage without doing the very thing he's being paid to do - namely play football. Lee Barnard is not going to force his way into the Saints 1st team. Ahead of him are Lambert, Rodriguez, Lallana, Osvaldo, Gaston Ramierez, Guly Do Prado. Even Billy Sharpe, who is out on loan, would be ahead of him. He should be out - playing football - for somebody. I'd like it to be for us, as whilst he didnt pull up too many trees when he was with us, he was let down by the general team play. But - if its the fact that he's quite happy merely training and playing reserve football - i'd prefer us to go for a slightly more motivated to play striker?

On a different note Lee Barnard told me in the Printers Arms that Saddleworth would be a place were he could settle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.hill12 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Heard a rumour barnard was on 18k a week. Bournemouth were apparently paying 100% of it while he was there where as we were paying 10% while he was at BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
