I wish he was always direct instead of turning back looking for a pass. He has the ability to beat most defenders in this league and he's not the slowest either. Bit of confidence and he could be worth a lot more. The game against the Taigs and Sundays game just proved he has what we need and thats someone who can open a team up. The rest of the team has to have the confidence to move forward with him. I dont think that happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 great, lets sell our best for about £1 million. That'll improve us. we might be able to get some one from a lower league english team or a 35 year old "used to be a big name" player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,439 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If we brought in another 22 year old who played like Barrie on his game we'd be raving. I'm a little surprised that other clubs haven't been sniffing about him. Hopefully he'll sign a new contract and be with us for a while but if he goes I'd expect £5m or so given his potential. If he was more consistent then, yes, he be in Ra Sellic players £10m price bracket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More direct play would open up things a lot more than they do just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc1990 1,140 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He took a while to sign a new contract didn't he? It wouldn't surprise me if his agent got a £2m or thereabouts release clause put into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,592 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Too inconsistent at the moment but still easily our best player, needs to really work on his final ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He's our best player by far. Hope he doesn't leave any time soon but if he goes to a club with good players around him he will shine. Better get a sell on clause added to any buying club cause he has the potential to get better and better and command a high transfer in the over inflated English market Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was the standard price for a good player or is that just if they play for the scum For that to happen, it needs our manager, assistant or senior board member to respond to that report with something like "If Barrie keeps progressing the way he is then he really can be a superstar.  it would take something north of £20m to buy his kind of talent down south right now."  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought Burke comes from a Rangers supporting family . As previously said the press come with an angle and set the questions from there. Regarding McKay I think if he is not away this window he will be away in the Summer. Given the level of fees in England even if he goes then we should be looking for a minimum of £5 mil. If he does go then good luck to him . He has done us well and I wonder how Kilmarnock would feel given they released him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I agree the world is at his feet and we won't need a loan to keep the lights on. I doubt we are in a strong position to be tough in negotiating a price for him and every club on the planet knows it. If he is consistent until the end of the season, yes he will be gone, but I doubt it would be for any more than £5mil and king won't be able to resist.

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Said it many a time the Wee guy is totally wasted out wide. His failings are obvious but nothing proper coaching wouldn't improve. First touch, quick feet ,turn of pace over 10 yards and the ability to slip others in. He's got all the natural attributes of a quality No.10. Granted he's far from the finished article but could and should be used to far greater effect in this team.
