2025/26 Thierno Barry

[HalfTimeSayers]

I have to disagree. I think he has something about him and he'll get better with time but probably not here. Lack of patience plus physicality of the league in my opinion. Which is admittedly worthless

I don’t know how he can progress with the tools he has. The lads had 143 first team appearances, and has trained daily for probably 15 years. The things is isn’t very good at tend to be things you don’t get better at. And how in this time no-one has taught him to attack the box once he’s laid a ball off, or it looks like a teammate might put a cross in I’ll never know. He may learn where to be on the pitch for maximum impact, but he won’t suddenly be able to run with the ball at his feet.

Everyone said Onana had a super high ceiling and when he was consistently anonymous for us said he’d flourish in a better team. He’s been utter garbage and is exactly the same player as when he came here. Hasn’t acclimatised and improved one tiny bit.

Obviously they are both highly talented footballers, but sometimes players just don’t have “it”. Imagine Barry with Richy’s desire. Or Onana with John McGinns determination.

I would like to see both do well, but they’ll only do so by finding their level elsewhere like you say. They won’t improve technically, and they don’t have the intensity of character needed.

Onana is a great example. Crap with us, crap with Villa, and like Barry took a preposterous penalty in a critical cup tie for us.

Good riddance.

Some of you on here are just miserable bastards it's just a game of footy

Could be worse. Could be American.

I think due to the issues with his friends on Saturday we should reluctantly sell him for anything above £15 million. Nothing to do with the fact he's terrible.

It's probably best for both parties now if he moves on in the summer..

Same scenario, but without the bluntness..

The amount of time you spend pining about past glories and whinging about everything you could be a Republican politician

Hope we sign josh Sargent from Norwich out of spite , so you'll cry daily from watching that mediocre ass American play

 

[Efcjake]

No one was racially abused, I know for a fact from some lads who were by the incident.

Just you and Tom who pushing this narrative, like it's some sort of self gratification calling out something that didn't happen.

I wasn't pushing any narrative, I said "if" because someone else reported it earlier in the thread and it's just a rumour as you said.

 

[DanB90]

What?

Oh, sorry.

He was tremendous. Then he lost his hair and seems to think he's disabled as a result.

 

[pedro789]

Unpopular opinion but I don't see what he's done that's so bad.

He gave tickets to some friends in our end, who got battered by some of our fans.

The only first hand account I've heard is the lad on here who seemed legit and said he didn't see/hear them do anything.

That's a small sample size but I don't see what justifies the violence.

What's he supposed to do, not say anything about it.

The fans involved should be banned imo.

He got it back, apparently.

And looks like Elton John.
