Kopdan has seen a lot of him and rates him highly. I've seen him a couple of times but never live. He would be a great capture for the future.

He's the son/nephew of Bobby Barnes - the ex-west ham player. Anyone else remember him?

[Harv]

he's going to be a star IMO. Hes scored some cracking goals for Derby this season

Im praying this is true

[bazza76]

Have to admit, im really excited about all the young players we are being linked with. Just hope we get to see them in actuion for the first team at some stages, cant help thinking either there is going to be some real tallent wasted too, such is the vloum of quality players at the club.

Bobby Barnes was at my local side Swindon at the same time John Barnes was at Liverpool ,to say he was a poormans John Barnes is an understatement.

From the site Derby County-Mad......

Reports that Bids of over £2million are being prepared by Tottenham and several leading Premiership sides may mean Billy Davies selling the talented midfielder

Three Premiership clubs are preparing to do battle to land highly rated Rams midfielder Giles Barnes.

The 21 year-old has been closely watches by Tottenham Hotspurs along with the two Merseyside clubs, Everton and Liverpool. It is widely rumoured that Spurs are prepared to offer over £2million for the youngster and that may be too tempting for the new Directorship at Derby County to turn down.

Billy Davies is keen not to have to part with Barnes as he has been instrumental in several good performances and wins during the early part of this season and looks to be getting better with every game he plays.

Tottenham have a history of taking talented youngster off the Rams. Tom Huddleston left Derby to join Spurs in July 2005 for £2.5 million but that sale was a desperation act from a former Directorship that was drowning in its own debt. The new directors of the club are canny businessmen and woman and it is unlikely that Barnes will be let go without lengthy negotiations and at the right price.

If Barnes is sold it is expected that most of the money will be spent on strengthening the Derby County squad to bolster their push toward the Championship play-offs, or even direct promotion, after Billy Davies has taken the team from relegation prospects to a top six side in just a few months.

I thought so, Tottenham will get him and it will probably pay off for them too.
