Confirmed Signing Thierno Barry

[BainesontoastNEW]

Clear player of the tournament though

Barry has been ok, he gets on the end of things and wants to make runs

On another day….

This context is needed for a few of our lot only tuning in for the first time tonight. Woltemade has stood out like a sore thumb - in before quite literally! Barry has been given just one start. Ironically, France scored 4 in that game v Poland and his all-round game was very good. Djaoui Cisse got the plaudits, but you could certainly see a player in Barry. He hit the post, was kicked to bits and really brought Cisse into the game. Shades of Saha and Cahill on a good day is what's coming to mind.. Maybe because there was minimal DCL and Doucoure days

Woltemade looks a brilliant footballer, two footed and plays with his head up, would improve our attack 10 fold

Sadly think he’ll be snapped up by a CL club if he doesn’t stay at Stuttgart, Barry is a great alternative though.

I’ll be honest and say I wasn’t impressed with him tonight, but I’m not going to judge him on 45 minutes of football. He does look like he’ll be a longer term project which is fine, if he’s the one they really want then hopefully it gets done but we negotiate a deal we’re properly happy with.

It’s difficult judging players in international football even at u21 level. History it littered with excellent footballers at club level who didn’t perform at international level.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

That's still too much for me, I just don't see him in that bracket atm.

It's a no from me. I remember watching Sandro in an U21 game when we signed him and I knew immediately he was dire. He just didn’t get involved and couldn’t get on the ball at all. Similar vibes from this guy. Did nothing of note in 40 minutes.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Way too raw for me. Must be better out there for the money mentioned.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Woltemade looked better than him tonight

He didn’t just look better. He looked a completely different class of player.

 

[Librarian]

Big Mo Fellaini was a bit raw on day one to my memory but had some levers and got going quick enough

 

[Verbal Kint]

Just be careful when judging players by international football, I thought we bought the greatest man Marking snide genius in MO BESIC after watching him dominate Lionel Messi for 89 mins in a world cup match in the Maracana

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

True but that was in the premier league, not an U21 game and we had a very strong performance against Liverpool as evidence of his potential.

I love how people are condemning a player's past and future career because of one under 21 international tournament game remember Kieran dowell? He had some marvelous performances with the England under 21s it have a positive impact on his club career

 

[Curtis]

It seemed to be a bad game for the entire French under 21 team maybe it isn't the best barometer for judging talent in the long term

 

[Librarian]

If he’d have scored then everyone would be fretting the gazump

Dave saw him as the 2nd coming.
And then he joined Rangers
