Just had a text from my Villa fanatic mate re Louis Barry on 09:26 - Aug 7 with 1752 views | BarcaBlue | My son just told me we'd signed an ex-Barça player. Thought he was kidding but he showed me the photos of him signing from WBA. Apparently lot of excitement back then and was earmarked as a first team player. Not sure why it didn't work out here but looks like we could have a real gem. |  | |  |
Just had a text from my Villa fanatic mate re Louis Barry on 09:28 - Aug 7 with 1742 views | Chrisd | Just feel we need to temper our expectations a little. Parrott had and has a slot of plaudits from Spurs' fans, but there were a few Town fans that were a little underwhelmed by him last season and he had more experience than Barry. Barry is a young lad starting out on his professional career, lets not expect the world but allow him that time to find his feet and flourish. |  |

The head of WBA academy went to Villa taking a load of their best prospects with him, Barry had known him since his early days, hence the move to Villa. Barca picked up a fair chunk in compensation but have yet to pay a penny to WBA for poaching him in the first place. |  | |  |

Do you have lots of mates, or do you just fraternise with people from Brum? |  |

Just had a text from my Villa fanatic mate re Louis Barry on 11:32 - Aug 7 with 1288 views | BlueOsterClub | I think he is going to be an amazing player. I wish he was a permanent signing. I also wish Hayden Coulson was going as a permanent signing. Both outstanding quality signings. We are in for a great season and it's so fantastic to be a team on the up again. I am sad not to be at Portman road today for the first game of the new era but 3 friends came down with Covid on Monday who had all been double jabbed and it made my wife really nervous about me going. I think it will be fine however so don't mean to put any one off. |  | |  |

Indeed. But thankfully we arent holding all our Hopes on him like we had with Parrott. The options off our bench will give managers nightmares against tired legs. [Post edited 7 Aug 2021 11:37]

Because they are a Premier League side that judging by their business want to try and nab a European spot this season? |  | |  |

I don't see why Coulson couldn't be permanent at the end of the season if it works out for all. |  |
