2025/26 Thierno Barry

[bullybeef]

Is it true that this guy had a trial at Hamilton who are in the second tier of Scottish football and got released after being deemed not good enough?

 

[If You Know Your History]

I feel for the young lad. He was clearly devastated with his performance, but his recent form has been superb.

He scored four goals in five games not so long ago.

Superb??????

Absolutely sabotaged our season having him and Beto as striking options. I don’t think either start for a single other team in the Prem.

They could both do a job at somewhere like Blackpool.....with a saddle on their back.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Superb??????

Relative to Beto?

That is a frankly astonishing use of the word ‘superb’.

Felt bad for him as well. The issue is when he doesn’t score, he doesn’t offer much else. Think he’s a better player than when he first arrived though.

I agree, mate. He’s improving. But to be fair and objective, any average striker in any top league easily bags that easy sitter. I like Thierno. Anything offered up today is just an excuse because we’re Blues fans.

Agreed. At least when DCL wasn't scoring, he was holding the ball up, bringing others into play and winning aerial challenges.

Barry is still only a young kid, though. And there's no point pining after a player that didn't want to play for us.

It’s sad to think that Dom would excel in this group of Ndiaye, George, and KDH. But I guess it’s better to sell too early than too late.

In top 6 with a decent 9

In top 6 with a decent 9

That and a pair of decent full backs and Arsenal would be missing out on the title again.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Don’t need any DCL revisionism. He hardly got on the pitch, most of the time when he did he wasn’t fully fit, when he was fully fit he was often rubbish with a fat touch and doing that stupid silly slow job he did from side to side putting zero pressure on the ball. He’d also jump ridiculously early for goal kicks so don’t effectively win many at all. He’d have the odd game looking like an absolutely unplayable old school number 9 but they were few and far between.

DCL this season looks completely different to what we've seen for the past 4. Nothing to do with style of football or anything either. He just looks like he's capable of playing 90 minutes week in week out again. I have my doubts on how long it will last.

Why not? Pickford, JB, Garner, KDH, Illy and add those 3 at same level and not far off.
