He does not have the skills for the VK style of play where everyone is expected to be comfortable on the ball. JayRod can carry the ball, he can find a team mate at distance. Barnes is not that type of player.

He has been great for us but I think it is time for him to move in and make an impact at a lower level.
Could not have put it better myself Swiss.Sad but true.He has had his day.
