SCIAG Barrow is a great player who would improve this squad.
We won’t be able to transfer his registration outside of a transfer window

Zip Good to see some of the comments on Barrow. Much underrated imo. Would be happy to see him return if not this season then certainly in August.

He has been nothing short of wasted on the left. Still a good player, don't get me wrong. Just nowhere near his best (in my opinion of course - you may well be right, it's just how I see it obviously).
to use his through ball to Meite against Shef Wed as an example of left wing play though. He Literally could not be more central if he tried. That would be most peoples' number one example of why he's wasted on the left and needs to play through the middle!!!
The idea was that the LAM and RAM tuck inside, something Bowen alluded to in his post match conference so he wasn't playing as a natural winger
Meaning that Ejaria isn't stuck in the congested middle zone of the pitch but instead slightly drifted to the left where there's more space to use. I get the impression that when we play both Ejaria and Swift in CM, they end up getting in each other's way as they often look to take up similar positions
I hear what you're saying. H'es no winger yeah. I'm fine with some fancy formation where he's a central midfielder, whether he's slightly to the left or right doesn't bother me. But the idea of him being used on the left wing in a 4-4-2 formation is a total waste of his skills and that position.
The only players we have capable of being a left winger are probably Obita and Barrow. To say we're short on wingers is an understatement, which is why a bone marrow transplant seems a good idea at the mo (no pun intended) to me.

2 world wars, 1 world cup Having started this thread asking for his return, thinking about it more I'm now not so fussed.
Not because I don't think he'd walk into the squad or make us better, but because if he doesn't want to be here and won't sign beyond end of contract there's no point (and even if he does sign, he's already proven his loyalty). It's not like we're on the edge of the playoffs or fighting relegation. Having him might get us a few more points but so what. If we had something to fight for then yeah, but we don't so now I'm thinking screw it.
He has zero loyalty, doesn't give a toss about the country/club/area. Clearly has something of an attitude problem going by his time with Clement x2. I'm now thinking he can stew in the problems of his own doing sitting around in Turkey not being paid.

There was no place for Gunter and McLeary..... until there was.URZZZZOld Man Andrewsskipper
Let me be the first to say, give it a rest mate!
Give what a rest? There is no place for him at Reading, we do not need him.

He’s a 100m sprinter, not a footballer

Not saying you’re wrong but didn’t the same thing get said about Gunter and McCleary?
