Lee Barnard - wanted by Inverness Caledonian Thistle

SOUTHEND United have turned down an offer from Inverness Caledonian Thistle for their out of favour striker Lee Barnard.

The 30-year-old failed to make the squad for Saturday’s clash with York City.

But Blues boss Phil Brown revealed Barnard is keen to fight for his future atRoots Hall.

“I spoke to Lee and he’s told me he wants to stay here and fight for his place which I admire,” said the Shrimpers chief.

“He’s seen me bring in two new strikers but is keen to try and get back in to the team.

“Of course that could change and someone else could come in and whet his whistle which I don’t think Inverness did so we decided to turn down their bid.”

Barnard spent time on loan with Stevenage earlier on in the season and has not appeared for Blues since October.

Sounds like we wanted this guy on loan. It wouldn't surprise me if Southend were happy to send Bernard up here but it sounds like he didn't want to come here.

In all honesty there are better options out there than this guy.
