I wasn't particularly happy when Barry was first linked but I can see the sense in signing him.

I'm assuming that Yacob and Barry will be the defensive midfielders for our 4-1-4-1 formation with one or the other starting depending on what is needed on the day from our holding midfielder. That means that we still need another central midfielder to go with Livermore, Morrison and Field, preferably a playmaker type centre midfielder.

Josh I think Brunty will be played there and Hopefully Harper will come in before Sam Field. I like Field but he doesn't seem to have any urgency or speed.

Brunt and Morrison can create as can the superb Jonny Evans. Now we have the added creativity of Barry. I too wasn't excited when we were linked with him but as others have said I can see the benefits of having him on board and I'm looking forward to seeing him play for us.

Don't get me wrong though buddy I would love us to sign another Maresca, Texieria or  Koumas type player and the much needed left back.
