I was shocked at that price, when i saw it! - I think he's having contract probs ala Beckford. That price is INSANE!! The only official link we have with him was the Echo throwing his name out, casually. Pretty much the recent history of him is here:- http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/tn/Sport.cfm?id=50162&headline=Southend%20asking%20for%20up%20to%20%C2%A3250,000%20for%20Lee%20Barnard http://www.pinkun.com/content/pinkun/norwich-city/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PINKUNOnline&tCategory=xDefault&itemid=NOED01%20Jan%202010%2013%3A16%3A38%3A903 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11719_5823492,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

instinct Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 he's out of contract in the summer so southend may want to sell him now rather than lose for free in summer http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8424112.stm "Southend's Lee Barnard has scored 16 goals already this season (14 in League One), but he is out of contract in the summer and looks unlikely to sign an extension, despite an offer from Southend. If you were our manager Steve Tilson or chairman Ron Martin, would you accept offers for him in January and earn some vital funds for hard-up Southend or would you keep him until the summer and risk losing him for nothing!? We are hovering in mid-table but the loss of Barnard's goals in January could see us slip into a relegation battle. What would you do? Jason Jay, England Sell him. He has scored 16 goals by mid-December and Southend are in mid-table. If they were in the top six, I would say keep him but he is unlikely to have another three months like he has just had and, even if he does, they are unlikely to be challenging for promotion - they are too inconsistent. I do not think relegation will be an issue either, so they might as well cash in. It obviously depends on what kind of offers they get but, if he is not going to sign his contract, then they may as well let him go. He is actually one of the players who has benefited from Southend's financial difficulties as he might not have got his chance otherwise - he was not first-choice before. Southend striker Lee Barnard Barnard joined Southend from Spurs in January 2008 Lee is a good finisher and a busy striker but it has taken him a while to adjust to the lower divisions after leaving Tottenham a couple of years ago. You see it happen all the time when players leave bigger clubs - sometimes they think they are better than they are and it is a bit of a rude awakening for them to drop down a couple of levels. It has taken him a little while to find his feet because he is in the big bad world of the Football League and he is not protected in a little bubble like he was at Spurs. Some young players who are released by big clubs go under and you never hear of them again but some, like Barnard, come through. He has seen one side of the game when he was growing up but knows it is different now. He has knuckled down, got his chance at Southend and taken it - good luck to him. Could he hack it in the Championship? We don't know. It would be a gamble to sign him but, generally, if you are a good player in a certain division then you will not be out of your depth in the division above.

Bailey Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 A good, solid player at this level. He'd be a great addition to our strike force IMO. Lambert, Connolly and Barnard would be up there with the best strike forces in this division, but we would still need another player to replace Rickie when he inevitably picks up an injury.

Mr Saints Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 Good goalscorer at this level but he doesn't have much pace which is what we need along side Lambo. More of a fox in the box which we already have in Connolly. However, 250k would be a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 Read on the Echo online today that Rickie was in need of a rest. He has looked tired but i don't think we can afford to rest him (til after the window closes hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 Whilst i've been firmly in the Simeon Jackson fan-club, I've got to say that with Gillingham wanting more than £1.5 million for him, coupled with Barnard's 250k potential asking price, I wouldn't have any complaints if we landed Barnard instead. He's 3rd top scorer in the league, and is only 1 goal behind Beckford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
