Confirmed Signing Thierno Barry

[Rooney_Tunes]

Exactly, it makes the chermiti deal look even stranger

But who bought Chermiti?

Therein might lie the answer.

If we still had him we may have been looking at a very tall spinem

Branthwaite + O'Brien
Onana
Barry

That could have been a huge set piece threat.

If we can find a set-piece taker who can beat the first man.

In Terry Barry we trust.

Literally none of that was wrong though.

We had agreed a deal, he had his medical on the Saturday and done his PR photos.

Then we sacked lampard and he decided not to sign for us and went to spurs.

No he never, the media team have no recollection of this happening haha

No
he said "a set piece taker" not "a fat p*ss taker"

Doesn’t make it any less weird tbh

Wrong model for us entirely, especially given our then situation

…..how the deal is structured isn’t a good deal if we acquire a player who isn’t good enough. Hopefully we finally find out about Chermiti next season.

I didn’t say it was a good deal, I said there’s nothing weird about it. There’s quite a big difference.

We are in a weird situation where £13 mil is too much to gamble on a young swiss league star but ok to gamble £30 mil on the same young french league star. It makes the chermiti deal look even weirder tbh

I would guess that we have paid relatively little money for Chermiti so far.
I hope he does go out on loan, stays fit and then we will be able to see what kind of player he is.

One of the most important decisions apart from whether he gets the number 9 is as a fan base how are we pronouncing his name.

I believe the actual pronunciation of his surname is a very saucey Gallic sounding Baree with an elongated ee sound at the end.

We going with that or a Scouse Terry Barry

I think "Thierno" sounds great in a Scouse accent!

Villarreal is in Spain isn’t it?

Not really. People saying we should make these deals before they become £30m. So arguing we should have signed him a year ago. The issue then, like Chermiti, is can he get the experience within our team?

Do you think if we signed Barry a year ago, he develops in the same way? Would he have had the same amount of football for us as he was able to get at Villarreal?

I doubt it. Would Chermiti have developed better staying where he was for another year? I’d say probably.

We will get more misses than hit by signing them before their real breakout season. But it’s a balance of risk. Barry is more likely to work out despite costing more because he has been able to regularly play at a decent level.

But no ones knows if a player that costs £15m ant that age is good enough. It’s a gamble. Some have picked better than others. We’ve actually done pretty well in the last 10 years with Stones, Richie, Onana and Branthewaite. It’s the older more established players on big wages that have screwed us. Bolasie, Siggy, Doucoure, Walcott, Tosun, Mina, Gomes.
