Past his peak maybe, maybe. But he’s not past it. We haven’t signed him for the next 5yrs,

We’ve signed him because Wagner quite rightly observed we had a team without personality. Barnes is excellent in the respect and the team will be missing his influence. Massively. And he’s 33, and a modern pro that can go til 36/7, so he is not past it.
