Louie Barry

[Priv]

Do we need him? With Conway and Latte firing, when would he play? If there was the Afcon cup with Latte going maybe, but I can't see when he'd start, and I think Villa would want him to start regularly.

He’s a left winger, if we can get him permanently I’d be be tempted to cut our losses and try and sell McGree.

He'd play left of the three, loves cutting in on his right foot.

He's not a winger, kind of drifts about behind the CF.....more of a #10. Think Azaz with a bit more speed and more direct

He’s a left winger primarily

He would suit our tactics fine, starts from the left but roams from there. My worry would be going the other way as he isn't the best out of possession. Bit like doak on the right

True but in certain games against packed defences his powerful long range shooting can come into play and against good sides that attack us, he’d be a great counter attack impact sub. Can also be third choice cf or reserve 10

Oh I agree, I think he'd be a fantastic signing, just we would need to compensate elsewhere for the areas he isn't as strong.

For example we couldn't play barry lw and doak rw with a midfield 2 of barlaser and Howson. We'd be wide open in the transitions.

I think we do struggle at lb still, netos a bit more solid defensively than Engel was. He’ll sit and hold and let a more attacking player do his thing.

On top of that Morris has really solidified our midfield he would offer a bit more defensive ability with a Barry type left winger. It would be a nice problem to
Have, Barry has scored goals at every level he’s played and from what I’ve seen he could adapt to the champo and continue doing it
