The problem we have is plaYers like Barnard are good league one/poor champ players but are earning high wages so clubs are not prepared to take a gamble on them with icy high wages. Glad to see he is off the books though temporarily
He has hardly played in the Chanpionship!
I think he could easily hold his own in the Championship, I think it was a real shame he had such a troubled year...... I am sure he would have scored for us.
Good Luck Lee, A real hard working, exciting player.... it is a shame the last 12 months went sooooo wrong.

So the chances are that we will be paying most of his and any other loanees wages.
Therefore Lee, as you are being paid by Southampton it is your duty to score at least 5 goals today against our sworn enemy

These players won't leave to go to a league one side because our promotion to the PL triggered a nice big wage increase in their contracts.

It said that promotion had triggered big increases in their salaries.
This would mean that unless a club were compared to match these they would stay put or go out on loan and run down their contracts.
It was common knowledge some time ago and I just remember it thats all.
I know nothing about the finer details of anyone contracts.

It'd be great if Barnard could move to Bournemouth permanently, I think they have promotion potential.
