Confirmed Signing Thierno Barry

Right, Ive heard his strengths are getting in behind and headers....which means we need someone to make good passes in behind and put good crosses in.

Two things we lack. But hopefully wont in a couple weeks.

100% mate, we need a 10, 7 and 8.

If you look at his goals hes getting between defenders from through balls or on the end of balls into the box. Wel need lads who can get a cross in and beat a line with a pass.

To be fair Charly can break a line with a pass and McNeill can get a cross in - but im not sure both would be planned to walk straight into our starting 11 come August.

Illy for all his ball carrying and goal scoring brilliance doesn't assist or create much for others.
 

This dude has it as well - 4 year contract - strikes me again as weirdly short, hopefully we have an option (if ture).

"Thierno Barry to Everton is finalized for €35m plus bonuses, the forward will sign a 4-year contract"


Why four years? Doesn’t that make it worse for us with PSR?

Total aside but I do find this so weird about ndiayes game. Looks like a player who should create a lot but just doesn't create anything in terms of direct key passes/assists

Charly's work at Palace and Garners through balls v Leicester, anyone we can get consistently doing that kind of thing regulary and both Barry & Beto will fly.

I know some people on here are skeptical of fellows from West Brom but he would be perfect for that role

Not looked at the stats for Kanchelskis but sure he didn't create much with being a very direct wing wizard. Illy reminds of him a lot, even though we are talking different levels. If you only saw Illy for a few 2nds you really would expect he'd set a few up though like you said. 👍

He did used to get to bye line and whip crosses in though. Remember Dunc and Speed coring from his crosses.

We need more though, you can't just rely on pinging crosses into the box, its simply too easy to play against (Fellows strength is pinging crosses into the box) We seem to still want to do this as a club yet most others stopped this style years ago. If we are looking to push for Europe (like Moyes says) then we will need to be able to mix it up a bit against various opponents.
