Those more basic tables tend to make most DMs look quite limited when in actuality Barrios' passing stats are generally above average (whilst granted not being anything special) along with his high defensive contributions. It's his defensive contribution. Exactly what we are missing to free up McGinn, Luiz and from what I recall he is better passing wise than Nakamba.

Jas10 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 His stats aren’t atrocious/terrible, he’s definitely better than Nakamba at least (go and take a look!) but we need more than someone who can just defend and intercept at DM. We don’t need a brute, we need a player with quality on the ball who is dominant and assertive. To help us control possession and dictate play. We need someone who can pass the ball well and keep it under pressure, while being a screen and protective barrier for the defence. Some aerial prowess and strength would be welcome too and Kamara has that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the red is concentrated in all the attacking stats which whilst nice to have, isn't a make or break kind of thing for a DM. Low progressive passes is deceptive, his total progressive passing distance is a lot higher. Those defensive stats are pretty good. Actually pretty difficult to find someone who is above 50 in all defensive categories and Barrios is close here. Just his aerials are a bit concerning. Pretty poor aerial win percentage as well. I will say though playing for the Russian Premier League and not posting elite stats means I'd still rather look somewhere else. Bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if this is something really important but I think that when we’re signing all these young prospects that each club who sold them mentions our offer being “substantial” or “fair” and not being pretty cheap like other clubs have been known to do 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Have no idea who this Feeney kid is but apparently Man United were pursuing him just last month so he must be pretty highly rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Feeney is very highly rated, only turned sixteen last month has already made Fleetwood's first team squad and was also wanted by Man Utd and Leeds. England U16 international and captain as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Feeney is 6ft 4 and only 16 so he atleast passes the Elphick test which will please some. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would Love to have him with us....but I have to be honest Barry, Jude Bellingham would be my first choice of any young player....fabulous player, like a Duncan Edwards, in terms of physical specimen and can play anywhere. Not a patch on Chuckwuemeka ...... so Christian tells me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 6'4" at 15? (I know he's 16 now.) What kind of oats are they feeding him up there? Also that video made him look a heck of a lot better than Maguire has been for England. A right footed centre back will be a nice addition to the youngsters too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
