£1.75m is the fee apparently. People laughed at me when I said Barry would be £5m+. He was signed on a free from Wycombe, but i believe there's a hefty sell on clause involved

If he's going from L2 for almost £2m, Barry would be in excess of £5m from a prem club Based on what exactly? This summer Aston Villa couldn’t find a L1 club who wanted to take him on loan and give him regular football.

Thats a concern if he's linked and disappointing if he left for them as County could easily be the same size club in the Championship with a re-vamped EP and attendances. In fact we could get more attendance wise in the Championship IMO as Huddersfield as a Town has a lot less residents and potential fans. I was being flippant, but as potsy said given his record these type of jobs he should be considered for but same old names get banded around for them or some obscure name from abroad It take that size of club in the North for him to even contemplate a move though I reckon safe on this occasion but if sees us over line clubs will eventually start take notice even though they should already, he achieved far more than Luke Williams had when he got Swansea job for example

I agree with you here, apparently he on £20k a week at Villa of which we are paying a third Talk was when he was flying he may end up on loan at Championship level, he goes proves himself there all of sudden talking £8-10m player for his age profile No way Villa would consider selling for less than £5m IMO for a player who could and emphasise the could have a ceiling much higher that allows them to receive much more in future or threaten their own first team He benefitted immensely from being a mainstay of our side and looks a cheat code at this level I don't think it's insurmountable say maintains levels shown with us he hammer L1 defenders too

Huddersfield are a real 'basket case' at the moment & will only appeal to someone who is desperate to get back into work. Whoever goes in there will find an owner who's not prepared to provide funds, & players on high wages, who aren't good enough & that no one (Wrexham aside) is prepared to take off their hands. They have a great ground & training facilities & one or two promising youngsters, but talking to a mate who supports them, he's preparing himself for a long struggle next season to stay in League 1

Pretty confident DC will see the job through this season & still be with us in League 1 next year but another promotion with us this season will definitely see his stock rise significantly & I can see him being very much in demand in the the very near future.

Villa's deal to sign Barry from Barcelona could reach £3.5 million, would Villa then sell him on at a loss? So any club wanting Barry, start the bidding at £3.5 million just to cover the liabilities they owe Barcelona and then factor in his successful loan at County. . www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/barcelona-lionel-messi-louie-barry-31182030

They spent that on potential. Ar this point they didn’t think he’d be on his third L2 loan spell after failing in L1. I’m not saying he won’t be worth that in the future but right now he’s not proven above L2 level and had a failed spell at MK Dons and a mixed one at Salford.

Hes been a roaring success though. £3.5 + £1.5 = £5 million is a very generous price from Villas point of view when you seen the prices Championship clubs are paying. If Barry had stayed injury free he would have smashed the amount of goals Al-Hamadi scored.

But whoever goes in there will have the headache of shipping out a number of players, to be able to then bring in their own players to enable an attack minded style of football to be played. That takes time, & its whether the new manager will be given that time. I think DC will want to finish the job he started, he is well paid, he has access to funds & is at a club that is going in the right direction, backed by an owner who has the same ambitions

It could happen IMO his loan here was a roaring success before injury but that resulted in a bit of a write-off in a year of his development. County have a good relationship with Villa, enough that have loaned Richards as well, so might agree another season at County for Barry as ideal to get him back on track/develop futher.

Thats a shame, but i feel sorry for Howe, i think the Transfer Taps have been turned off for him as setting him up to fail. The rumours of Mourinho, and the speculation that Almiron and Trippier could be sold, they cant afford Ramsey from Villa etc look ominous signs to me. Howe's done a good job up their but i think dark forces behind the scenes are at work.
