Poyet won`t splash cash for Barnes

10th May 2010

Boss Gus Poyet insists Brighton will not pay over the odds to sign on-loan Plymouth striker Ashley Barnes.

The 20-year-old scored four goals in eight appearances after joining Albion towards the end of March.

Poyet would like to sign Barnes on a permanent deal, but told The Argus: "We need to wait and see what is going to happen at Plymouth, who is going to be the manager and what they want.

"If they are going to go with crazy money he is going to stay at Plymouth because he has one year left on his contract. He is 20 and in a year's time we can have him for free - six months in fact because on January 1 we can make an offer.

"So, it is up to Plymouth what they want to do with the player. We are working on plenty of things."
