2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Marcus Kendall]

He was scoring for fun earned him an England call up - in practice training Ferdinand finished his career in his prime the Dean Ashton ....
James Beatie was a flop from day one ....

Shaun Wright-Phillips not Ferdinand to correct you there Joey

 

[blue to the bone]

At Southampton as I stated we should have signed his partner Kevin Phillips who was a prolific scorer.....

He was 31 at that stage Joey.
U want to give young players a chance not old slow players !!

Yakubu. Boss slotter ruined by injury.

he was… but not in big games or against top 5 , derbies etc

He was a goal machine though ....

Youd be giving out for Moyes signin old players .
He can't win

Been Googling have you thought it was Ferdinand

Youd be giving out for Moyes signin old players .
He can't win

6 million for 15 prem goals in 3 seasons = James Beattie....& he took pens
Barry will struggle to match those stats .....

Scored against Chelsea in the carabao cup semi 1st leg. But yeah, not so great, but then, we weren't wonderful on those games usually.

The only striker we've had in recent times who regularly troubled the best was Lukaku. And it'll be some time before we see anyone of his quality in blue.

Had a nose back at our post war top scorers on the Toffeeweb archive earlier. Players getting over 15 goals is actually not that common, particularly in the modern era.

As a Manager: Moyes managed Everton against Crewe Alexandra in a pre-season friendly in 2003, which Everton lost. In terms of competitive cup matches, statistical records indicate that Moyes has faced Crewe Alexandra as a manager in national cup competitions, such as the League Cup....

I can remember reading an article about if EFC wanted to save 5 million they need look no further than Dean Ashton at Crewe as he was an ideal younger option & just near by ....
so Villa were in for Beattie & DM signed him = fact - back then 6 million was a massive fee & Beattie was a massive flop .....

Was it your magic watch that told you this Joey?

 

[jazzy]

The fact he was Manager of Preston in the same league at that time - he should have scouted Ashton -, oh but wait he is not keen on youth players ask Dibling

The only decent CF he signed was the YAK ......

Barry will lose us a fortune .......

Oh Joey , my advice when you've dug a big hole is to stop digging.

 

[Mrtallywacker]

This lad is a top striker. He can beat Messi’s record of scoring 91 goals in a calendar year if he scores another 91 goals in under a year.

Sounds like a Sean Dyche quote my son.

God bless.

p.s If Barry was as good at scoring goals as @Joey66 is at gaslighting then we would have some striker on our hands.

Only reason I remember it was Wright-Phillips was because Ashton sued him for loss of earnings as he retired at 29 or around that age. I can't remember if he was successful in sueing him though. Ashton was talented I agree, a bit like Sheringham in playng style

A mixed memory but Beattie was a disastrous signing by DM ....

You do realise you're arguing with the senile version of Davek don't you???
