Last week he set the Championships record of 9 interceptions in a game. We’ve got plenty that need to be out the door before him imo.

I suppose that‘s his problem. One week he looks great, the next he‘s all over the shop and making goal-costing mistakes.

I think there‘s a strong case to be made for a whole new first choice defence needing to be signed over the summer, plus a keeper if we don‘t get Iversen back on loan.
 
Storey is a decent mobile supporting central defender when partnered with a more commanding partner and given time he may well develop into the latter sort of player. I still cannot fathom why FM should have put Hughes at the centre of the defence and Barkhuizen at left-back yesterday - Storey is hardly to blame for that.

Much as I like Barky he has not got a defensive bone or brain in his body, he is a attacking winger and should be nowhere near the defense, he was caught out too many times yesterday and we paid big time.

A couple of years ago I rated Barkhuizen very much, but if he was allowed to leave now for nothing I wouldn’t unduly be bothered. He may have been one of Neil’s favourites, but AN has ruined him somewhat imo. He has had his pace blunted by the amount of tracking back to help out the defence. His quality was always about his pace, but when you’re expected to be up and down the pitch that is the sacrifice you have to make.

Barky and Johnstone are the best finishers at the club........... What the hell happened?

Disagree. Hunts is better than much of what's starting now....What's chosen now can't defend if their lives depended on it. Selling Fisher was idiocy.

He's been a great player for us, but his time was up long ago, but fucking hell another example of negligence with respect to recruitment.
 
Storey is just inexperienced , has potential but needs coaching and needs Some experienced heads around him , Liam Lindsay however is the second coming of Craig Morgan and has at leat one goal giveaway mistake in nearly every game he has played for us , I would like to think this was just him not playing for ages before he came to us but he does not look rusty anymore , just like he is out of his depth.
 
Would retain him, should be replaced as a starter though.

There are far worse players in our squad who should be moved out before we look at Storey potentially going.

Totally agree, I remember the first game I saw him play at Deepdale, my mate said "watch this new guy Barkhuizen , he glides past players like they're stood still but hardly seems to be out of breath"
And bloody hell he was right, I was gobsmacked at the ease at which he left players struggling to match him, AN's defensive drill has ruined him as far as I'm concerned, he's a winger so let him concentrate on attacking the fullback, I don't think Sir Alex ever said to Giggs "Now then Ryan lad, about your defensive duties"
