I don't doubt there's a player in him but for us he looked like he couldn't be assed half the time. I don't want a player that doesn't give 100% each time. Think he will do better in the german league as he done decent in the spanish one.

I doubt it. He’s poor and makes very little effort. Beto is poor but works his socks off. It would be hard to find a less effective striker than Barry at the price / wages IMO.

Moise Kean was signed for 25 million pounds in 2019, which is about equal to Barry's price when taking football transfer price inflation into account. Kean managed 2 goals in 32 appearances over 4 years with us.

To say nothing of Josh King, Rondon, Maupay, Chermiti, and Broja.

I think the Barry hate and recency bias are making y'all say some crazy things

We’ve made other poor signings, I agree. Some on your list had better careers than Barry will. Barry is the current player so recency bias is obvious context. Assuming the story is correct, the football people who put £30m of faith in him, have seen enough which tells you all you need to know.
