2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Nymzee]

Funny how this thread and Dibling are so different, yet both young lads have given the same level of effort and quality in their short time with us so far.
And one was a good bit more expensive than the other also.

One has obvious quality though. One definitely does not.

 

[Bluewolf]

Hes a kid coming into the "toughest" league in the world needs time to adjust.

Personally think he buries the two chances beto had.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Does he?

I mean my biggest concern with Dibling is that he was genuinely not that good for Saints. And sure they were bad and he’s young as hell but it’s still a concern. Not every player shows as much as growth as we need him to show.

Barry on the other hand was at least fine in a quality league.

I mean you didn't watch a single Villarreal game to know this so thankfully, as per usual, I don't have to pay attention to your oft wank football opinions.

Surely there's not people in here slating him for 20 minutes of solo pressing when we had about 10% possession against city -

Oh.

Maybe he has but i haven't seen any of this obvious quality that keeps getting touted.. and alarmingly the only consistent I see from the lad is being not that bothered to get on the ball and show any real quality

The ball went in the net enough I know that much

Again proving all you do is look at numbers and not actual football.

 

[Vagner Love]

Forget looking under par he’s looked downright dreadful let’s be honest, and most worryingly like others have said he’s just got absolutely no fight in him, even out of frustration

 

[MACCA75]

I see a loan to Celta Vigo in his tea leaves.

We’ve seen him miss virtually the same chances already this season

Hang on weren't you literally a couple hours ago saying that 11 goals isn't much, and having a pop at me for looking at the actual football pick an argument you can't have both

He's got a very crisp first touch, great dribbler, and can beat a man - has done for England U21's as recently as last week.

Barry so far? Not one positive, and, I must point out to people, is 3 years older.

No, I had a pop at you for lying about going back and watching old Villarreal matches which if true is serial killer behaviour.

Also point out in the comparison that one has played 30+ games in the league before and the other is brand new to country and league.
Keep it fair.
Both so far have contributed nothing to any game they have been involved in for us.
Both young, both cost a right lump of money, and neither were bought as final product.
