Transfer Rumour Thierno Barry



None locker Prince Oumar Niasse, Barry looks overdone compared to him. Remembered our first look at Niasse, Barkley drilled a pass to him in acres of space, Oumar cooly passed it out of play for a throw in to the other team..
Wasn't his debut off the bench in a 2-3 home loss to West Ham when we were 2-0 when he joined the field with 15 mins left. I don't think I have seen a worse player for us, especially considering his price was near our record transfer fee at the time.
 

Who was the last white player described as raw?
Quite a lot will have been on here i'd imagine. Patterson from the current squad, Mykolenko when he first came, Gordon for sure. It's generally used to refer to players who have good natural attributes but don't look great technically and look like they'll need plenty of development. There are certain words I think have the connotations you're reaching for but I don't think raw is one to be honest.
 
The standout one would probably be Coleman when he first signed. The very epitome of a raw talent.

I’m sure there’s been others since. Most of them are probably just “crap”
I agree he was raw but I don't remember anyone describing him as that at the time. Just something I've noticed.

Fair enough, I don't remember any of those players being described as raw though.
