Confirmed Signing Thierno Barry

[Toffe3m4n]

Needed to just bury that chance that KDH laid off to him in the first half. Thought he did some good stuff at times, including that little shift inside onto Ndiaye who really should've scored himself..

Got a bit about him, just needs to make sure he gets himself right into the mix this season.

I think he “may” turn out to be better than Beto but I don’t have high hopes from either of them really. Think we will see quite a lot of both this season.

We need another proper striker

Very difficult to judge Barry yet. From what I've seen he doesn't have much skill or knowledge of how to lose his marker. But what I don't know is his mental capacity to be up for the fight. Will he get disheartened quickly and give up and start missing an arm around him.

First thought then was KDH didnt release it quick enough and Barry slowed/paused which meant the pass then ended up on his left foot.

Havent seen it back.

Honestly this result could have easily gone the other way if we finished our chances. All Barry need to do is hit that on target and there is a 50/50 it is a goal from that close. Ndiaye converts on his pass and that is another. Barry created chances which is promising. We have to start converting those into goals though. It was our weakness last year. Barry has looked solid as a creator at least which is a good sign. He has created two very good chances so far in preseason. Get a Dibling in to pair with Ndiaye and see if we can start causing problems with those 3.

Dudes a footballer, very unique.

I thought he looked fine today, sharper than in his earlier appearances.

 

[sandman77]

He is not meant to be judged after a few friendlies, he i supposed to be supported. Might not work out, but his qualities should be clear to see.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Even if he’s not the finished article yet, or offers something similar to Beto, Barry and Beto is still better depth and quality in the striker position than DCL (injured) Maupay or DCL (injured) Rondon, or DCL (injured) Simms.

 

[Librarian]

I like him

 

[EGWToffee]

Not seen a lot to suggest he’ll be good or pants. It’s early days simple as that

 

[Ragnar]

I thought he looked good today. He puts himself about, and seemed to be more in the game than Beto was second half. I felt like we went completely flat once Barry and KDH went off.

You think Liverpool fans are saying that about Wirtz? Guess what - same age as Barry.

Our bar has become so low now we look for excuses to give players more grace than they deserve. He should be hitting the ground running in a friendly against an Italian team. He is one of our most expensive signings in our history - expect more.

£30m on a striker is peanuts. He's had a different career trajectory than Wirtz who cosy £125m.

 

[TrixyStevens]

He’s got more ability than Beto.
Needs to concentrate on being in the right place and score goals, keep it simple. I don’t think confidence will be an issue.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

That was his best performance for us. Remember how bad Fellaini looked early on and he became a very good player for us. He's definitely got a higher ceiling than Beto. The premier league will be a big step up in terms of physicality and intensity for him. He'll probably struggle at first but I think he'll do ok for us.
