2025/26 Thierno Barry

[N0L1M1TK]

No where near ready.

 

[Vagner Love]

He played 21 minutes pal.

And……

 

[BigBeto1]

when Beto is on I want him off as a sub. But as soon as he goes off and Barry comes on, it kind of makes you notice some of the good things Beto was doing

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

He can only start if he shows he can roulette himself into a goal kick

 

[GoldenToffee]

Be on loan in turkey this time next year

100%. He, like Beto and at least a dozen before them, will both end up £25m plus signings who ultimately walk away for free because we won't be able to sell them.

 

[Nymzee]

He just doesn't look up to much yet at all unfortunately.

I said in the Beto thread that I do think there's a bit of a chicken and the egg thing happening here.

Yes the strikers aren't great but we haven't made loads of chances for anyone, it doesn't matter who's starting.

It’s not just about scoring for me. Neither of them can hold the ball up or link with our attackers.

I do wonder if this has something to do with the attackers or whatever we bother doing in training.

Yes, they both have limitations but we can certainly make them look more effective than this I hope.

 

[maccavennie]

He has to get at least a run of games as beto ain't getting any better

Nah, you know the drill Neil.

Barry starts against Palace, does crap, Beto comes on and does better. Beto starts the next game, does crap, Barry comes on and does better. Barry starts the next game, does crap, Beto comes on........

I just don’t think their quality is up to it. The ball Garner played first half down the centre half Beto got and fluffed is what both of them want, which we don’t do enough.

But our 3 behind are all very neat and clever and are ruined by not having a striker to join in.

 

[blueblood]

I haven’t really seen any part of centre forward play that he’s any good at, which is slightly concerning.

 

[TheNinja]

Needs to make more runs. Looks off the pace. I'm sure he's a better footballer than Beto (I'd control the ball better than Beto), but looks scared. Difficult as he's young, but we need a striker for now.

He's pretty much 23, yes he's come to a new country, but I think we need to drop his age being an excuse going forward.

Bizarrely, I'm seeing more promise in former Juventus player Kaly Sene that Boro have picked up for 1.5m, than either of our 20m+ Strikers

 

[MACCA75]

As bad as Beto without the ‘at least he puts himself about’ bit.

I just can't work out how we got 8 league goals from Beto last year and now we can't get our strikers more than ten touches of the ball.

 

[bullybeef]

Who scouted this lad and thought he was good enough?

With better wide and central attacking players too... Bizarre
