Thierno Barry
Re: Thierno Barry
Moyes 100% will be instructing his team upstairs to find him a striker ready to contribute immediately in January. He has virtually said as much so far this season, by publicly calling out both Barry and Beto for not delivering. Regardless of whether we as fans want to persevere with him to see if the penny finally drops, Moyes will be thinking about results short term.
Re: Thierno Barry
Barry is far from a lost cause but I'd be surprised if we aren't looking to sell Beto and bring in a more proven experienced striker in January.
What's Danny Ings up to?

Too much pressure on the lad. Get a better replacement for Beto and give young Barry last 15 and cup games.
Re: Thierno Barry
Looked to me that he headed it on to the post, it rebounded on the the back of the keepers arm, back on to the post, and then on to the keepers arm again.

Re: Thierno Barry
He'll be absolutely fine. There's clearly a lot of talent there to work with. Sometimes players have these mad runs where nothing goes their way for ages. Remember Spurs not winning a game with Gareth Bale in the starting lineup for 2 seasons or whatever it was. It's an anomaly.
Barry will score goals, and will be a quality striker in time.
We do need to bring another player in though, in the meantime to take the pressure of him and give us a better option for the short term.

Re: Thierno Barry
He's getting a lot of credit for two or three touches per game that do little more than find a teammate.
Not only has he failed to score but he's had little involvement in settling up goals for others.
Nowhere near ready. Replace Beto in January and give Barry the sub role.

Re: Thierno Barry
Said all along he’s not a premier league or lower league player, I don’t think the English leagues will ever suit him. I’d love him to prove me wrong, but he’s like a rabbit lost in the headlights. We have to sign a forward in January.

Re: Thierno Barry
That's actually how I see it. He does 2 or 3 neat lay offs a game and people on mass insist hes been very good. Hes not involved enough and he doesn't look anywhere near contributing with regular goals.MayorFarnham wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 4:59 pm He's getting a lot of credit for two or three touches per game that do little more than find a teammate.

Re: Thierno Barry
Didn’t he break some sort of record for headed duels against United?
We lose that game with beto upfront.
