The Louie Barry Thread

No PL experience. Terrible signing.

Oh come on.

As long as that's not a really young Bosko Balaban.....

 

[Villan57]

Changed the title in readiness for the big announcement tomorrow

 

[Pride of Lions]

As his dad Len Barry used to sing..... 1,2 3.

The last young lad called Barry that we signed turned out alright.

This kid could be amazing and I should be excited but unless we get this season's problems fixed we might not have the big stage for him to perform on in 2-3 years time.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Not heard of him since he released Mambo Number 5.

Brilliant news. Young local lad, good enough for Barcelona, 3 million deal. For some reason, I don't think we are signing him to just play for the U21s. Very excited to see him play.

Young and hungry .

Excellent.

Apparently the Tesco Bags are "furious" over this deal and are threatening legal action. Their legal "expert" was seen leaving the Citizens Advice office in West Bromwich High Street yesterday having just had the free 30 minute consultation. He was quoted as saying that the deal "stinks to high heaven" - he should know having spent many years in the environs of the Whorethorns.
Seriously though, he refused to sign a contract and left for Barcelona for peanuts. Then Mark Harrison joins Villa and Barry is signing for us. The lad is a Villa fan from a Villa family and it would be his dream move. How he ended up at Albion is testament to the mismanagement that happened under Lerner/Dr Bull.
So they are "furious"? They know how we felt about Alex Cropley and the Hand of Rod. What goes around, cones around.

If this fcuks off the tesco bags that much then sign him please .
Don't care if he never plays a minute

I really don't think this post has had enough credit to be honest

The rules are a pure joke TBF - They'll get a paltry amount of money from Barcelona if anything. Much like Crawley going to Arsenal from us - legal or illegal the amount of money you'll get is so small compared to what might have been.

The second Aston Villa were linked with having an interest in signing Barcelona youngster Louie Barry, given his previous West Bromwich Albion ties, it was always going to be an interesting story to follow.

Interesting report Lord Ron but it doesn't exactly fill the heart with joy. Barca clearly think he's a no hoper without potential

They thought the same about Traore and wasn't he around 3mil.

They thought the same about Traore and wasn't he around 3mil.

Traore was about 7m. He'd already played first team football and had played numerous times for the B side in the second tier. Of course he was a few years older.

 

[DeanoVilla]

good enough for Barcelona.

I don't think they'd be selling him for £3 million if he was.

 

[sirdennis]

Why are Sandwell on about suing us ?

Surely their problem is with Barcelona.

Clearly they haven't got over their players wilting over the Jed Steer stare yet.

 

[ldgavfc]

I don't think they'd be selling him for £3 million if he was.

Sounds more like he hasnt settled there than anything sinister. They would make a 2 million profit from having a 16 year old for a few weeks.

Pique and Fabregas didn't have bad careers did they?

 

[The Fear]

Be a pleasure to have another Barry at Villa, the last one was a legend - (woefully treated by some idiot fans when he left, will forever be embarrassed by that!)
