2025/26 Thierno Barry

[davek]

Must be a way of loaning him back to a club in Spain or his native France.

This January has to see a decisive move on a CF because we cant carry on with this lad.

Well for a 6'5 centre forward wouldnt you say that there should be crosses going into him?

Its not often we see this.

Don't think he'd get anywhere near them. Seen absolutely nothing to suggest he's a threat from crosses. Think he missed the easiest chance of the season from one at Sunderland.

 

[ManxBlue]

I’m done with Barry - get shut. And hunt down whoever recommended signing him.

Dont laugh everyone … what about trying both up front ?

Two up front is so rare that defences struggle to work it out.

No co-incidence that Leeds have improved massively since switching to 2 up top.

Might be worth a try tbh.

yes , would be a fascinating watch ! although I remember when we tried Beto and Dcl together last season and it didnt work. we don’t really play with out and out wingers so would still br 3-5-2 … and its not really a 3 at the back in reality but 5 just fullbacks up a bit higher

Not really any evidence for it mate, even if you look at his stuff in Spain and elsewhere, he looks sharp but its by and large tap ins and nothing spectacular.

I’d take that from him now, mate. If we won a penalty and he was stood holding the ball waiting to take it, I wouldn’t have any confidence that he’d hit the target. He has to be better than he’s currently showing. Or maybe that’s blind optimism

He gets bullied so easily, don’t think any cross in the world would make a difference. For a big lad he’s so weak against defenders

 

[linnane666]

Whatever about this bluffers lack of ability ..he is soft...as the great Johnny Giles used say about lads like him " He doesn't fancy it"

Im not saying hes the solution but....at this point Id put Beto in for the next few matches. We gave him his run of matches, thats great, and he really hasnt shown up. If the effort was there Id feel different, but I dont feel hes even up for it half the time. At least Beto will batter the defenders and open up some space for other players. At least Beto creates some chaos, right now with Barry I feel like hes the easiest thing for CBs to defend, and they enjoy it.

I think he needs significantly more time to work on his craft.

Think that would be the worry with Barry against the likes of Burnley, they would just bully him all over the gaff. Don’t know how Moyes will see it like.

Was fuming at that stupid pass, could have got us a red card that.

He reminds me of Bret Angel. He struggles to jump. His legs seem not attached to his hips.
