2025/26 Thierno Barry

Will agree to disagree on this one.

From what I see, there's a lad who's winning most of the aerial duels that come his way, he's pretty good with his back to goal and bringing others into play and links well with others. His movement is enthusiastic, but needs refinement. He's quick enough and his control is decent.

What I'm not seeing enough of is getting into goal scoring positions, and when he has he hasn't always shown the composure you'd want.

He is pretty raw when running with the ball and I don't see that ever improving hugely.

Totally opposite to you, I can see why we bought him. To my eyes, there's a lot to work with but, as Moyes said months ago, he is a work in progress. There's a lot he needs to develop and we probably have overpaid based on how much development you'd want in some ways.

It may be a backhanded compliment, but Everton are a better team when he's on the pitch vs when Beto is.

Good post. There is a bunch of stuff to like about the lad and I think he has enough about him to make it in the premier league, whether he can get to the level we will require in the coming years, I don't know, but he's not even the first striker in the squad that should be seeing the door, yes, i'm looking at you, Beto.
