Louie Barry part 2. No idea what happened first time.
I wonder if he regrets leaving the Albion, but I guess money talks 
Signed a season long loan with Stockport County.
Phew. Big Grin

Presumably he'd be in the same position if he'd stayed with us. If he was Champ level or above you'd expect him to have been loaned to a Champ club.

He’s 20 playing in division 4, ain’t good enough I’d say

Has he "found his level?" Low down the pecking order at the Villa

20 years old now - considering the potential he was believed to have before he jumped ship it’s surprising he is still playing at such a low level, even on loan.

He was totally off the pace at MKDons last season and struggled after dropping down a level again. Not sure his career is going to hit the heights expected.

A true reflection of the "fee" we received.

It's not really though, is it?
Time and expense of several years in our academy must equate to a fair few tens of thousands at least.
And sooner or later a player will be stolen from us (and tbf some other club of our level) and hit the big time.
And Man city etc will be millions in.
It really needs sorting and I can't see why it's so difficult for the FA/ UEFA to sort.

He's in the last year of his Villa contract and wasn't taken to America with the rest of the Villa U21's. I'd probably say they've already made the decision to cut him. At the very least this Stockport loan is his final chance to do something.

Shame....... Fishy little fucker.

Fee was in quotation marks ... precisely because it was laughable.
