Saint Charlie Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 looks as if he could have kicked the last ball for us. Swindon Town have been tracking him for over two months, they have now tabled an offer. reported to be £500k Reported by your favourite source: The Daily Star That said, sure he will leave but doubt Swindon could get anywhere near his current wages.
This Charming Man Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 (edited) Reported by your favourite source: The Daily Star That said, sure he will leave but doubt Swindon could get anywhere near his current wages. Swindon have a seriously wealthy owner. They're probably one of the richest clubs in the land. He's never splashed the cash before but the money is certainly there should he ever decide to.

Appy Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Doubt they'll shell out 500k for him. I don't think his asking price would be far short of that. He would be an excellent signing for anyone in League One.
Turkish Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Doubt they'll shell out 500k for him. why? He's a very good League one possibly championship striker.

He's a very good League one possibly championship striker. I agree. But I didn't say he's not worth that. I just didn't think that Swindon would have the money.
Leslie Charteris Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 For a League One club they are minted. It remains to be seen on whether they follow the QPR route or the Southampton Way. Either way, I think he would do really well at Swindon and good luck to him.
This Charming Man Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 I agree. But I didn't say he's not worth that. I just didn't think that Swindon would have the money. Their backer is worth around £1bn.
SuperSAINT Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Their backer is worth around £1bn. I stand corrected then. I'd looked at their transfers in so far and they'd all been freebies.
This Charming Man Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 I stand corrected then. I'd looked at their transfers in so far and they'd all been freebies. They're not going on any mad spending sprees but they've said in the past the money is there for the right player. The bloke has been there a few years now, he may have decided that now is the time to spend a little with a decent manager in charge who can attract players.

Either way, I think he would do really well at Swindon and good luck to him. Well if they followed the Southampton Way they'd certainly be willing to pay for Barnard and his wages, plus a few more besides. £500k for Barnard would be a great deal, I still think he was one of our best buys since the takeover (in terms of quality compared to what we paid for him).

What were we rumoured to have paid for him? Averaged (roughly) 1 goal every 3 games for us. Not too bad considering we had Lambert scoring 30 a season as well.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 Their backer is worth around £1bn. If thats true Barnards' valuation has just gone up to 1.5m IMHO DYOR
Lighthouse Posted 26 July, 2012 Posted 26 July, 2012 £500k seems like a pretty good price to me, he's a proven L1 goal scorer and I reckon could DAJF an NpC club. The only problem with Swindon is that it's in Swindon.

Not too bad considering we had Lambert scoring 30 a season as well. If memory serves the fee was in the region of £250-300k plus Matt Paterson - I think we benefited from the player's contract being nearly up. I'd like to see him get a decent chance in the Championship, though. It seems harsh for people to write him off as a League 1 player, as he didn't really get a look in for us last season.

He'd be a top signing for a bottom half NPC team or a decent L1 side. Can't see any NPC sides with promotion aspirations wanting him though.
david in sweden Posted 27 July, 2012 Posted 27 July, 2012 there is absolutely no truth in this rumour whatsoever...........Swindon Chairman quoted about "supposed " Swindon bid for Lee Barnard. so...another of the 52 "rumours " about transfers involving Saints players bites the dust. Where do people get these ITK stories from? ..this one was clearly NOT ITK.
