2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Charlie Sweet]

I think there’s a big difference between first impressions and forming an opinion to be honest, and it’s fairly obvious that some people are not just talking about their first impressions.

Saying ‘I’ve not been overly impressed with him so far but it’s early days’ is fine, I’d say the same. Saying ‘he’s a dud’ is very obviously a different thing.

I think thats semantics to be honest. Saying "he looks like a dud so far" is what people clearly have in mind. We all want the lad to be a world beater!

We have to wait until he bangs in a goal or two, his confidence could rocket.
I've a good feeling about him, I think he looks a confidence player, once he gets that he could be anything.

So this:

"I'll right him off for ya! Won't make it in the Prem Lge. To fast for him and has'nt got a Strikers brain same as Beto and Moyes knows it."

Is someone 'clearly' saying he hasn't looked great so far but they have an open mind on his future development is it?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Bring back taking time to form an opinion.

I've no opinion on him whatsoever yet.

And won't for a while.

Say what again?

I’m imagining some parallel universe here where Thierno takes over for you at your 9-5…

Weird because I've just got a meeting put in my diary with Moyes and HR for 9am.

Has potential that's obvious,but we aren't in the position to wait for young players to develop. Odd signing everything considered.

We are a club is a position were we need to invest in young assets and make a future profit mate - most of our signings aren’t for right now. They are investments with the future and future to fit in mind.

Really only Grealish and KDH I think have been brought in with the expectation of hitting the ground running right now. If the younger ones contribute well and good, but I think we will see a gentle easing of those players and minimum expectation.

We are literally in *exactly* the position where we should be signing young players to develop.

Maybe wait until we've played 10 games. Beto at the moment is our best option,if he gets injured then who? Barry leading the line with no Prem experience ? Hardly the recipe for a comfortable mid table season.

In an ideal world yes,but our squad is so thin,I mean who'd have thought we could be going into the Derby at the pit with possibly a right footed midfielder playing left back. This season should have been one of consolidation, spending money on youngsters with potential rather than experienced players at cheaper prices might just bite us in the arse.
