Morning, my fellow Evertonians. So over this international break after our cracking demolition of Chelsea. What do we reckon about T Barry and his future with this great club of ours? Do we stuck or twist, as we definitely won't get anything close to the money we shelled out? Does he have a future with our club? Be interested to hear the views of my fellow Evertonians and, in particular, the match going fans that have seen him live.
{Ed025's Note - i know hes still young TB but i just dont see a player there mate, if we could get any sort of money for him i would let him go..

I'd personally loan him out back to Spain, hopefully find some form and we can sell him for a bit more money, we'd get more for Beto than Barry at the moment.
I'd like us to get Richy back, he can play left and right side, plus down the middle and also another striker, but who is anyone's guess, and I'd sell Beto, he's done his best, but going forward we need better.

I'd have Richy back in a heartbeat as well, Bp, but want at least one new striker as well, mate.

I believe Barry started his career as a centre back and someone suggested he move to centre forward. Wonder why?
He needs to be sold or loaned out for next season, where he would play more often and see how much he has developed in the meantime.
An alternative is to get Duncan Ferguson to have time with him.
But as GB says, we still need a new striker and I am not sure Delap would be the answer despite reported interest.

What about Mateta, I know he spat his dummy out, but he's still a player who would make us a lot better, and he's a unit.

They probably moved Barry from centre back to centre forward as he is too much of a p***y to put a tackle in. :0)
24 Mar 2026 14:10:56
Mateta would certainly improve us, mate.

Barry needs gone. He's good at nothing.
Richarlison - loved him, but don't think he's the answer - very patchy goal scoring record.
I don't know the answer and nobody jumps to mind - we need a bit of fortune though in the striker department as have had a lot of misses - Troy Parrott as a punt would be a shout.
Just as important to finally get a Rt back - Ben White may fancy a move and would be an upgrade for sure.

I don't really think we should be going half-arsed when looking for a new striker e.g. Parrott, Pepi or Delap. They will cost anywhere between the 25-35m mark, and I don't think any of them are that good a goal scorer. Plenty of better options in and around that price.
We have seen Delap struggle for Chelsea, and the other two haven't tasted anything like PL level before.
I would rather us really invest in the position to find somebody who can still put in a 7/10 performance for us, even if he doesn't find the onion bag.
50m +
- Samu Aghehowa (Porto)
- Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth)
35-50m
- Fisnik Asllani (Hoffenheim)
- Ange-Yoan Bonny (Inter)
- Jonathan Burkardt (Frankfurt)
- Romulo Cardoso (RBL)
- Georges Mikautadze (Villareal) . Give them Barry back.
Below 35m
- Nikola Krstovic (Atalanta)
- Joaquin Panichelli (Strasbourg)
- Mateo Pellegrino (Parma) .

Think we should loan Barry to get experience and bump up his price as he ain't going to increase his value playing as he does for us.
If he learns to play, give him another try. If we get better, which I hope we do, then sell him to get some money back.
{Ed025's Note - i will buy a ticket for that BR..

There will be some serious money for DM this coming window, think we will see some very good recruits arriving.

Barry and Beto are both similar players, neither are good at holding the ball but prefer to run onto a ball as we saw on Saturday. If we play to their strengths, we get more from them. We also need a striker capable of playing off them and winning the second ball. Should we play the long ball out and look for knock ons?
25 Mar 2026 05:49:43
If another club wants him, and the money is somewhere near the price we paid, then sell him. We all know that as much as like them, and they give everything for the shirt, they are not what we want at this level.
