nyblue23 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yeah gutted that he won't be with the club anymore but definitely makes sense for him and can't begrudge him the move. True professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Really sad about this. His years of being a true impact player are behind him, but what a professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Is this confirmed yet? He is a class act and it's a shame he can't stay around for another year but he probably feels that he needs to play and I don't blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Awww. Sad to see his name moved to the 'General....' list. Good luck to him. Served us well. Came on strong last season when needed. Proper pro...lives the long life and keeps out the spotlight. He did give too many free kicks away around the penalty box though! We've moved on. He wasn't going to get much game time. He'll do a good at WBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 great player, really enjoyed him here, always enjoyed him on the pitch. i will miss his perfectly timed fouls. he was a master of the stop the attack for a goal yellow card.

pete0 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm not impressed with Koeman. Barry had Schneiderlin beat for everything bar pace. Big loss on and off the pitch. Why's he going after the season starts and no replacement brought in already. Fletcher would have been a perfect stop gap on a free. The feck is Walsh getting paid for?

c1982 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Why's he going after the season starts and no replacement brought in already. Fletcher would have been a perfect stop gap on a free. The feck is Walsh getting paid for? Gana, Schneiderlin, McCarthy, Davies, Klaassen, Besic. I also suspect someone like Baningime may be around the squad at some point this season. Now I'm a big fan of Barry but I think we've got adequate cover there. I suspect the move was as much about Koeman's respect for Barry as much as anything else. I don't actually think we need further cover in the deeper midfield role. Fletcher is an excellent signing for Stoke - I don't think he would have added anything here on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher is an excellent signing for Stoke - I don't think he would have added anything here on the pitch. Only Schneiderlin plays in the sitting role, and for me Barry should start over him unless the opposition is full of pacey players. Best preformed last season was with Barry and Davies in the middle against City. Koeman's midfielder preferences worry me. Doesn't seem to value intelligence. Romeu, Wanyama, and Gueye lack football brains. Fletcher was head and shoulders above our two last week. Breaks up play and gets the ball forward. On top of that he's a leader/winner. I'm not looking forward to watching Schneiderlin and Gana all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Its the perfect time for Barry to say goodbye - he probably has one last season in him as a regular and that wasn't going to be with us given our squad. Schneiderlin is a better option without doubt - that is not to say Barry isn't worth a place in our squad, he is but he deserves to play football and we are strong enough to let him go. simple as that really. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 What a top lad he's been. An all time great professional. Reminds me of Gary speed - no higher complement than that. Exactly this!

You're creating a problem out of nothing. I understand why the club let him go, but don't see why the manager didn't make me out an effort and reassure him he'd be more than a back up. You only have to look at Schneiderlin's performance last week to see there is still a place for Barry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it has absolutely nothing to do with older players naturally playing less games as younger players come in. It definitely means that training at Finch Farm is more akin to being in a concentration camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
