2025/26 Thierno Barry

[TommyDavo]

Has the physical build of a basket ball player holds the ball well had hard luck with his header in the first half ...

He has produced nothing so far, but if that floats your boat

 

[blueconverse]

Whoever signed of on him and Dibling needs to be held accountable. We aren't a club that can waste 70m

No he looks so light on his feet for a footballer looks more like a basket ball player his legs are like pins ...

 

[Nymzee]

Not having people in here praising his hold up play but no goals after hounding Dom around for the same play style.

 

[BigBeto1]

I also see him pouting less when things aren’t going well. You have to shake it off and think about your next move. You can’t let your own thoughts be your own worst enemy.

Shows how bad that were looking for positives with this lad that were looking at his expected pout stats

Tbh Dom's shots were garbage as well but nothing as bad as this.

 

[Lanolin]

I thought he did alright overall but he still doesn’t look like scoring and there’s only so long you can ignore that for.

 

[TommyDavo]

This lad is nowhere near premier league right now.

 

[Username.]

He's crap, he offers no goal threat whatsoever, none.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

He’s slowly improving but still well off the required standard. I applaud Moyes for sticking with him for a few on the bounce, though. The optimist in me says there’s a world in which he comes good enough to be unquestionable first choice by next season.

Last season calvert lewin. This season barry. Its you isnt joey. You're the club scout.
I need to go back and check the chermiti thread and see if you were all over him.
You die on some hills you.

Tbf, he hit the post with a header and the goalie only stopped him scoring when Barry's flick hit him on the head, so that's not altogether true is it.

What’s Dibbling got to do with it? The lads 19 and hardly been given a chance. Dibbling will come good and we’ll see more of him once Ndiaye goes to the cup of nations

 

[KevMirallas]

Gonna need to see him burn about a dozen clear one-on-ones before I can start comparing him to DCL in that regard. His work in the air and link up play is as good as Dom’s was already though.

He’s getting maybe one half-chance a match at the moment. He is fighting for confidence but his teammates don’t have confidence in him either so the early balls are never coming. In the meantime though he clearly makes us better than Beto and should continue playing as many minutes as possible. One goal could open up into a few quickly.

There definitely is a world in which that happens. I think he looks like a decent footballer in a general sense and he’s got some good points, it’s definitely not out of the question that he shows himself to be a decent PL player. He doesn’t look like a goal scorer though and that’s an issue for us at the moment. Turn him into someone who can score 10 and add more players who can score around him and he could work out but I’d be surprised if he turns out to be a 15 goal a season player because he just hasn’t shown how those goals would come.
