2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Ralphie Boy]

Don't honestly think playing them together would work,they'd just trip over each other. Maybe one of them with Alcaraz playing off him? But then Moyes is getting more stubborn with age.

And there lies the problem.

Sunday he was extremely underwhelming, he appears to be experiencing some mental barriers hopefully he can adapt but I'm willing to give him the entire season before I deem him a flop.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Played less than 3 and a half matches worth of time on the pitch.

I'm going to give him some more patience than that.

We've had strikers hit 20 matches without scoring before.

Have we?

For a striker, it's always that first goal isn't it. A massive weight lifted off your shoulders, the sound of the fans roaring your name, teammates jumping on your back..
Suddenly you feel at home..

( Doesn't always work out that rosy, but it will show us a big sign on how it impacts him )

Have we?

The Magnificent Maupay.

The Magnificent Maupay.

And DCL I think.

Even refererring to Bergkamp, Drogba and the cheating rat Henry in the same post as Barry is laughable!

Not really … did you actually read the post?

If quality players can struggle to adapt it would be logical to assume that Barry has the same issue , seeing as he is nowhere near as talented

Justin means because he’s not showing anything now , doesn’t mean he won’t improve

Sensible post I thought

 

[Tel001]

Too tall, too skinny ... and too young

We should have signed someone short, fat and old?

 

[Tel001]

Same with Sandro. Watched about 5 or 6 minutes and thought "we've definitely overpaid for him". And he was a free I think.

5m

But yeah … he didn’t look good

I don’t want to write Barry off but he looks like he’s got a long way to go to become a 37m player

But the players referenced had been stars before arriving in England and whilst they may not have pulled up trees scoring goals initially: their quality was very apparent.

The Magnificent Maupay.

You're miles off.

Firstly, Maupay had an excellent track record in England (37 goals in 85 games for Brentford in the Championship and 26 goals in 102 Premier League games for Brighton in the Premier League). He was also a French international at all the age groups.

Then on signing for us he scored the winner in a 1-0 win in about his second game against West Ham.

Granted he then turned out to be useless in our system, and a horrible snide to boot, but as a player he always looked a lot better than Barry has (so far).

Actually reckon Maupay will end with way a better career than Barry.

Everyone still want to hammer me now....... told you weeks ago this lad wasn't up to it.

I dunno about hammer, but I would still think you sound like an impatient and silly fan

I would sign and play for free

This is where this forum just becomes beyond silly..

Barry - nobody knew him or his game before he joined and within minutes he's written off..

Rohl - nobody knew him or his game before a deadline day signing ( with a so called questionable injury record ) still not been seen other then a brief 20min cameo.
he's a great signing..

One gets time, one doesn't

Maybe both these summary's happen, but their is no sense in how that looks.
