Derby midfielder Giles Barnes admits he is desperate to turn his loan deal at Fulham into a permanent move at the end of the season.The 20-year-old has been with the Premier League club since January but heel and knee injuries have meant he has yet to make a first-team appearance for Roy Hodgson's men. Barnes told Fulham's official website: "It would be disappointing to go back, because I believe I can play at this level."I've set my heart on staying with Fulham. If they want to extend my stay I'd be very happy to do so."It's been a big frustration not to play but there's eight games left so there's still time."
