He's better than Lappin and we signed him on a 18 month contract didn't we? He doesn't even make the bench.

Lappin was on a free, probably a minimal wage and was the best value for money we were going to get at Left Back at the time.
He has an 18 month contract because it'd be unreasonable to expect him to take a 6 month contract. It's all about give and take.
I fully expect Lappin to leave in the summer.
The difference is Barnett is a good championship level CB and I highly doubt he'll be released or available on a free.

Agree on both - if we were to give Barnett a similar deal to Lappin we then have the option of either using him like Norwich did (cover) or selling him on - he would have a resale value if he is on an 18 month contract.
Barnett's value to Norwich is much less, so they might let him go on a free - the advantage to them is removal of his wage from their bill.
