"What a guy. I wish I has Owen a lot earlier in my career - it's his positivity and the way he makes you feel," said Barnes, who will discuss his future with the club at the end of the season. "If I had him when I was coming back from injury things would be a little different for me. He puts his arm around you, his training is enjoyable, you want to play for him. I'm very fortunate to have him in my career."
