Player Suggestion Louie Barry

[Blade56]

So is he in Girona or not?

Think the GIF sums up how we will get transfer news.

Would expect him to be our 1st choice LW, with Brooks as our 1st choice RW.

Just need some depth to go with them now.

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Hopefully have an option to buy on this one, would imagine Villa would be ready to let him move on given their current squad.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

 

[loyalblade95]

Safe bet for a timeframe, given the Barry news we might still be negotiating some of the finer details.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Yes please! Loan with option would be a thing of beauty.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I know that a Sky reporter is a solid source, but poster Hutchyson on a random ‘boro forum said they’d sign him so which is true?

 

[Macfarlane21]

Can we not afford him as a permanent?

Radio Sheffield tap it in at the back post

If we loaned him with an option to buy then why would we ever not do that instead?

The cautionary notes are his injury record and lack of experience at this level.
The former a bigger concern.

Looks an exciting player, great record in League 1.. but as did JRS who left with mostly negative reviews.

Selles signed him previously which is comforting in some ways. Obviously really believes in him.

 

[SUFC Guy]

This sounds very encouraging

Apparently he's a better player than his dad at the same age, but then again his dad is a plasterer from dudley who's never played football

Saw him several times for Stockport and he was excellent.

I've seen a lot of his goals, mostly cutting in off the right (bad news again for A Brooks?).

He definitely has dribbling and finishing to his game. I've no idea about the rest of it.

 

[Houso]

Can we not afford him as a permanent?

Presumably we'll have an option / obligation. Plus, if we bought him, we'd have to agree to a 50% sell on like Hull did.

 

[jt64]

Is it a loan to buy?

I don't know. I simply have no idea why, if possible, you would ever do a perm deal on a player who is coming off of a significant injury, if you can take him on loan instead and then have the choice if you think it makes sense twelve months down the time. Villa may not want to sell anyway. Regardless, you asking if we can't afford him as a permanent (which we almost certainly can) is odd in the context of things where it is probable that we can do it in such a way that we determine whether this is in fact damaged goods before we hand over the cash money.

 

[Wards]

Very one footed to the point of never really using his left other than for standing on but one I'd be happy to get done, certainly has the pedigree - would fill that left hand forward spot nicely. Maybe to compete with Oné on tonight's showing?

Tbf though, he was knocking off Sean Bean's missus long before Sean was.

Not saying you're wrong mon capitaine but all the highlights and goals I've seen of his are him cutting in from the left not the right. He's very right footed and played predominantly on the left side of attack for Stockport

Nearly all his goals he’s cuts in from the left

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Can we not afford him as a permanent?

Why if we can get him on loan given his price tag of a couple of million, the fact he’s massively unproven at this level and his injury?

 

[PaddysMad]

[Danetheblade]

Can we not afford him as a permanent?

Probably. But why take the risk on a player who’s coming back from a serious injury, with a 50% sell on clause that’s mandatory.
