2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Gerbs]

Moyes is starting to drive me a bit nuts. Barry is a good striker. Yes he's a bit raw and has room to develop. But he's perfectly fine to lead the line for a mid-table prem side, which we are. No you can't also throw huge parts of our wage budget at a known-quantity 29 year old you big baby. Develop the player.

Are you basing this on hopes and dreams? Not sure what you’ve seen to actually believe it

60 odd million worth of strikers and Moyes doesn’t fancy any of them. Great work

60m for 2 strikers is nothing though.

Lad scored double figures in la liga for Villarreal but after a handful of pre season games and some training rumours Everton fans have declared him unable to replace the goal output of….checks notes….

Beto, Calvert Lewin, Maupay, Chermiti.

I wouldnt believe anything from this Sauce....

It's a lot of overreaction from an unattributed quote.

We do need a third striker if Chermiti is going on loan.

60m on one striker doesn't always get the job done.

 

[Kev The Rat]

why was this guy signed?

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

The squad isn't in a position to spend 30 mil on a work in progress.

It's no wonder Moyes's gob has been tripping him.

It's like your missus giving to a list for shopping and you bringing her back something she didn't want.

We needed a reserve striker. Preferably one with more potential than Beto. Unless you're very lucky you don't get much of a striker for less than £50m.

Without being disrespectful you could tell he was miles off it before we signed him.

An absolute waste of funds.

I did say aw much on here but was slated by all and sundry.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

I’ll wait until I see him myself , rather than believe a scurrilous rumour.

Being slated in here is usually a good thing.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Were some of you really thinking that we had signed a finished article, 22 year old number 9 for 30m?

 

[PhilEFC]

That’s right, let’s write him off before the season has started.

 

[millow1878]

60m on one striker doesn't always get the job done.

Exactly.

30m gets you potential nowadays.

I'd take that line with a massive pinch of salt personally. Reeks of 'article fluffing' where a journo will make a throwaway comment in order to make it look like 'insider insight'..

The club will have already been fully aware of his 'rawness' so it's basically non-news..
