Honestly, I reckon he just picked a three year contract over the one year extension we offered.

Because he could skin full backs for a few more years rather than work on his first touch. Don’t ruin this for me he’s one of my favourite Leicester players.

What a shock

Quite possibly, given the support and run of games Barnes has had
I'm not quite sure that the same thing could be said of Ghezzal or Diabate

Until they go out on loan, under the same circumstances, it's all a bit hypothetical, really.
Personally, I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

If we brought Barnes back and sent those two out on loan I'd be pleasantly feckin delighted...

In his best season for us he scored 3 premier league goals and goal 1 assist.
Even this season when’s he’s basically a regular....2 goals, 1 assist.
He did “ok” in the championship when we signed him 6 goals, 1 assist (albeit in 40 odd games). I’ve personally not seen a lot to suggest his attacking game has developed significantly since then. Defensively he’s certainly improved.
Fun player to watch sometimes but Gray doesn’t influence games often enough for me. There isn’t a great deal to suggest he’d do better than Barnes in the championship.
Perhaps I should be watching a different sport. There’s some boxing on tonight.

In the interests of full disclosure our brilliant loanee was dispossessed in full expansive mode, leading to the McGoldrick goal. Lovely to watch him in full flow in the Championship though.

they were also talking pre game that WBA's wingers don't work back defensively

You're absolutely correct. He works harder than he did, but his contribution at the 'right end' is nowhere near good enough.

Leave him there for the season, I say.
Do him more good than sitting on our bench

If there’s one thing I would think most of us would agree on, it’s that Puel is good for bringing on young players
