Ward has had 10 assists on top of those 6 goals. 16 goal involvements in 39 is better than any of our current midfielders. Better than 1 in every 2.5 games. Also plays anywhere on the right so is not a direct comparison with Connolly.
Barnes is an interesting one. Physical presence which may help others in scoring a few but I agree with the poster who said you'd need more of a goalscorer playing off him. Maybe that's the plan?
It would appear strange to me if we considered Barnes a similar type of striker to Connolly. It doesn't strike me as an either/or kind of decision. If we were in for a Connolly type, then we probably still are regardless of interest in signing a Barnes type as their qualities are so different.
