Its on Moyes - the so called master of the canny transfer. Absolute fraud. Instead he paid over the odds for a player that probably flashed up on Fifa 25 as the next big thing. Twating joke of a manager.

Rondon scored boatloads compared to these two.

For us he didn't
Huh, my mistake. Thought he scored like 4-5.
To be fair, that was a quick ball in, and the keeper got a slight touch which changed its direction just before it came to him. I don't think anyone would have the reflexes to adjust for that one.
But I had the same thought as you watching it the first time

He was raw, not ready but he had attributes pace physical good in the air, put himself about. I think v Arsenal at Goodison, Marco Silvas first full season he gave them a torrid time. Point is, he wasn’t at the level but could at least see there was potential there to improve. Just not seeing anything like that, even one game that makes me think the same about this kid and he’s 23.

If we're talking club striker transfers...
Chelsea away now will always remind me of that Simms goal. Maybe it was just me but it was a flash of something old school. Defender comes into Simms, Simms just puts his arm out and... bats him away out of his line of attack. An absolute Everton performance and Everton goal. Yet we sold him a few months later.
Same could be said for Cannon...
My point on Barry is he's young, don't write him off like we have others. He's a slow burner, his career has took off in a seismic way. If there was any domestic comparison it would be going from National League to Premier League in five years. He wasn't everyone's first choice buy but he's here. Younger than Rondon, more heart than Maupay, more pace than Beto, more drive than DCL. I agree with an experienced striker in January Barry is not a starter, but now he's scored let's not sell him.
At this point in time he needs stop running and being out of position and pin himself upfront, like Haaland does and Beto does at times, and let players get the ball up to him. At this point I don't think he's a long range striker so leave that to the wingers and number 10s.

Simms' entire everton "career" is one moment, which the fan base will cling on to until the end of time. Never was a Prem level striker, probably never will be. Same with Cannon, just without an actual goal. Championship standard players at best who benefit from blue-tinted-specs idealism or revisionism any time their replacements aren't doing the business.
Does Barry really count as a 'young' player? He's 23 and arrived here having already played about 120 senior games, albeit at lower levels in lesser leagues with no real quality. Seems a bit of an excuse to me (one minute it's Dibbling & Aznou need to play because they're young, the next it's let's not judge Barry because he's young). 1 goal in 16 games just isn't good enough whichever way you slice it.

He hasn't gone 20 matches without scoring at least so he's got that over Dom.

i dont blame this lad. I blame whoever scouted him. After more or less 2 games i started to raise an eyebrow thinking he hasnt either got it or he hasnt got it for this league. Who went to watch him and went yep. Get the cheque book out. Thats the real scary point.
If he does come good i'll try and track them down and shake their hand as they're a genius.
As it is right now. We've so done our dough.

Hes developing. But we don't help him, we are slow and ponderous at getting the ball forward and making chances, which means zero space for a striker - that's despite having good creative players now.

DCL played last week for Leeds against Chelsea and gave their defence a torrid time Leeds won 3-1
This week Barry turns up and Chelsea players have not even broke sweat.
As someone said DCL is like prime Van Basten compared to Barry the clown.
Even Chermiti is better than him

I disagree with this. I just think Barry is well off the pace in terms of movement and being able to compete with the opposition centre halves. Even when we pin the opposition back, he's barely involved.
Coming up to half a season now and unfortunately you'd be hard pushed to say the transfer has been anything other than a disaster. It'd be a brave person who thinks Barry will be leading the line in 2 years time.

Irrespective on his performance and overall ability, crazy criticism for the one that went through his legs.
He was EXACTLY where he should have been. Set a timer between keepers touch and it reaching Barry. Not really going to blame him for lack of cybernetic reaction time.

Yeah it was literally taken out of his path at the last minute by goalkeepers touch.
Some people have just made up their minds about him and like to beat him with every stick they can.
