Class act on and off the pitch.Good luck to him if he is leaving, been a really good player for us since he came here. One of them players you don't appreciate how good they are until they play for you
He can indeed pass, but he's so slow and easily exposed on defense that to me, he's too much of an on field liability to make up for any on field leadership. I also hate that Ronnie is still tempted to use him. Sell ASAP. Move the salary.If he goes we'll have only Schneiderlin who can receive balls deep and reliably pick passes to get us up the pitch.
You saw how better we were 2nd half Saturday when he started to get time on the ball as they couldn't mark him out without 3 centre backs behind him.
Barry goes then injury or suspension to Morgs and we lose that option and have to change game plan.
Hope he stays.

I don't think we should be letting him go, but if he wants to go for first team football then it's hard to deny him it.
If he goes then it wouldn't be wise to sell McCarthy.
I just think with the amount of players we still need to get that we shouldn't be getting rid of players just because they're not first choice. We have Gueye, Schneiderlin, McCarthy, Barry and Davies for central midfield. We can only afford to lose one if we're to compete in all competitions this season, unless we bring someone else in.Defo agree with the first part of your post, but Barry and McCarthy are massively different players.
One's got a superb football brain, very talented but has a fat ( though quite sexy ) arse, whereas the other one's high energy, ginger and lacks a bit of composure. They've both got something to offer, but they're poles apart.
More generally, anyone who doesn't appreciate what Barry still offers is either a WUM or is thick, and is quite likely both.

That derrière alone has probably blocked more shots/players than half the midfielders in the league - it is a strategic weapon that I for one will be very sad to see leave our club...Defo agree with the first part of your post, but Barry and McCarthy are massively different players.
