2025/26 Thierno Barry

[msb]

I simply adore writing players off before they have had a significant chance to try and prove themselves, especially when they are nowt but kids, moving country to a superior quality league.

Give him a flippin’ chance.

It’s obviously still early days and I’m not judging his potential long term impact but I’d really just like to see one little moment of something from him that makes you believe he’s got it. Still not happened.

You'll be waiting for him to shine, longer than Everton giving ya a free season ticket!

 

[pfim]

Well apparently Delap nearly did..

Even a few of the older strikers that were on freebies could have worked or even Mitrovic!

Id have taken Vardy too for a year.. There were plenty of temporary stop gap strikers that had the experience!

Delap was never coming here with Chelsea involved.

Vardy? Yes, plenty of experience.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Mitrovic is on silly money and Vardy is nearly 40 so not great suggestions

Mitrovic would have jumped at the chance to come back and Vardy for one year wouldnt have been a bad move!

I think it's 100% fair to both say

1. He looks absolutely garbage at the moment and a gigantic waste of money

and

2. He might have potential to develop into a good player

Everton FC is not the club that can afford to wait around for a £30m signing to turn into a top player when there is nobody else currently better than him in the squad.

Therefore, awful signing.

I wouldn't say he's looked garbage by any means. He hasn't done anything to make me think he looks particularly good, but it's not like he's tripping over his own feet and booting balls out of play left right and centre. He's played the equivalent of 2 games or something, I'm a bit disappointed that he hasn't shown a bit more to get me excited but I can't say that I'd be massively surprised if he turned out to be decent.

Yep. That is pretty much what it is in reality, no matter how much some try and come up with other bits and pieces as for the way he's played. For me i am so far stuck on number 1 that i at this minute after seeing what we have so far that i just cannot see number 2 other than it's so far in the distance that its hard to see

 

[Blue Neon]

He was brought on to win us the game and he had 4 touches?

That many?

 

[Groucho]

I’d like to see him get a run of games before passing judgment and slamming the gavel down.

I would like to see him look bothered and look lively and give us a reason when hes came on to make it look like he deserves to start. But for me he has not done that at all

 

[davids]

Name the player who is coming here that we could afford.

Add the Barry and Dibling fees together and that would have bought someone with at least average ball retention skills.

I'd imagine our share of Grealish's wages aren't to be sniffed at

 

[blueboy72]

uhh yes he has, all his posts from after august 11 are wipedddddddddd

Not what was said on toffee tv, apparently he’s just but all his posts together. Anyway that’s what was said on toffee tv this afternoon

 

[Curtis]

the other striker we we're linked with early in the window , Woltemade ended up being acquired by Newcastle for 80 million. He was able to start scoring immediately as there's a reason he came at a significant price that we couldn't afford. I haven't disregarded Barry yet I think Moyes has to have confidence in him as a player and actually try to establish statics that benefit the striker and give them the opportunity to have chances

 

[dannyboy]

The biggest problem with the 'give him time' argument is that we don't really have any due to the fact we're so short in that area. Dibling has barely made an impact but that's of little concern due to the fact that's an area we've got some depth in. If we had a decent striker ahead of Barry, he'd be under a lot less scrutiny.

 

[Azza]

Well done boo boys.
