Barrett: N'Diaye will be good for Blues

[Evening Echo]

FORMER Southend United skipper Adam Barrett believes Alassane N’Diaye would do a good job for Blues next season.

More...

Hmmm I would be a bit worried about Adam talking to him. After all the **** he went through, I hope he isn't putting N'diaye off a little. I dont think that would be Adams style though. He was always a model pro, so hopefully despite the troubles he faced. He is putting in a good word for us.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Despite what Adam went through he is a blues fan, and that will never change. I would imagine that he only had good things to say about the club.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I'm guessing they probably got quite close. When they were sitting on the bench together.

 

[Mighty Shrimper]

Given that Adam says he got frustrated playing as a holding midfielder, what is his actual prefered position then?

I believe he is more of a box to box type.

A good engine, tough tackler, technically good and a real "unit"

A Viera type.

C unit ??

great, sign him up

<sighs>

Sounds good to me! N'Diaye and Grant would make a strong pairing in midfield, hopefully not too many yellow/red cards would be given to them both though.

When will Barrett be leaving Palace?? Would love to have him back at Southend, although with the squad at the moment he would probably be on the bench...

Dear God, please no.

 

[palexander]

Barrett has signed for notts county.

Barrett has signed for notts county.

No he hasn't. They were looking at signing him, nothing has been confirmed

 

[sufc_dave]

Dear God, please no.

What makes you say that? Granted he wasn't the best defender, i.e he didn't have much pace, but he would put in 100% for the club week in week out and portray so much passion!

if thats all youu need....where do i sign?

 

[sufc_dave]

Lol, fair enough point SUFC-Shrimper, but he wasn't exactly a bad defender, like I say 'not the best', but he would do fine in League 2.

And lets be honest, there are not many loyal footballers out there right now. Fair enough he left us to go to Palace as he wasn't getting paid, so you could say he moved for the money, but thats fair enough if your not getting paid at all every week!

 

[CAPTAIN BIRDSEYE]

Give me barratt anyday over the useless s***We had to put up with last season. But as one of tillys men That taints him with some of you on here

 

[palexander]

I stand corrected, said the man in the orthopedic shoe!

The fact is barker is far superior to AB and moshni is far better in the air (if a little mental with it) there are plenty of tilly players I would welcome back, im just not sure we need AB, now if your gonna talk about gower, bailey, freddy that is a different matter

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Just because he's a Southend fan and kissed the badge a few times doesn't make him a good player.

Give me Chris Barker over Adam Barrett all day, every day.

 

[kentblues]

How we got Barker is still a mystery to me- year to run on contract and way to good L2. Better than AB yes who wasa good solid L1 player and a great servant to the club.

Moshsni- has what AB was never blessed with, real pace to go with dominance in the air. Will be at least a Championship player in fullness of time.

 

[Cricko]

I think AB is getting far to much bad press here..He was a good player and one of the promotion team and scored some great goals.He had faults for sure, but he was SUFC 100% and in my eyes that counts for a lot....let us see where Barker and co (who I think has been outstanding for us) take us before condemning AB as some alsoran.
