2025/26 Thierno Barry

[Zatara]

Isidor for Sunderland cost £5mill
Thiago for Brentford cost £30mill
Evanilson cost £30mill
Kroupi cost £12mill

Isidor is 25
Thiago joined last January window
Evanilson joined last season
Kroupi was a dodgy deal (rated at £40mil)

I dont think those comparisons can be made until Barry has a season.

He has form in his previous 2 clubs for being a slow starter and then performing well.

Played much better today he’s decent with his back to goal. When he’s got space to run into he seems absolutely useless though

We are going to cut Beto and Barry in half and fuse them both together to make two complete strikers.

I thought that was a solid premier league centre forwards performance today.

I wouldnt say it was "great" as others have said. I also fail to see many negatives.

Marcus Bent had 55 appearances with 7 goals. Everton finished 4th.

That was his 4th start and I think he'll step up again, as he has at his last 2 clubs after a run of games.

Loved his reception when coming off, proper match going fans who appreciated his effort and saw the improvement.

It answered the question of "no one better out there". There are.

I personally dont see anything special about the kid that you couldn't find elsewhere. You usually tell if a player has"something" about them or an attribute.

Ellis Simms did more.

Bent didn't cost £30mill

League game results with Barry starting the game…. P4 W3 D1 L0

The fella is a charm.

Edit. I haven’t bothered checking if that’s right.

Hopefully it helps motivate him

Seems like a good lad who is trying

Can’t really fault his work ethic

 

[matty1878]

An improvement, and glad he got such a warm reception when coming off, but hard to really give too much credit until he starts scoring a few.

you can’t give a player for credit for playing well and keeping his head up
after his miss?

ok. lad

30 million in 2005 isn’t the same as 30 million in 2025

Football inflation is ridiculous

I literally just did by saying it was an improvement.

Like Bambi on ice

Did well today. Worked hard, some good touches, decent hold up play. Needs to be more threatening in the box. Deserved the reception when he went off.
