Patrick Bateman Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'd like to see Barr be given another chance at some stage. Fair enough, he's not had the greatest start here, but I have a feeling he'll come good once he settles. Remember: Ian Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 We would be a bit short of cover in defence if he left,that said if we got money for him we should let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect time to bed in Barr next to Zal for next season. i hope not. i'm not a big admirer of either but bouzid is playing decently enough. barr has done nothing to warrant a place. he'll hopefully only get back in if bouzid has a couple of shockers... which is obviously something we wouldn't want to see. if bouzid moves then we need someone significantly better than barr IMO.

maroonshrew Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Firstly our defensive record says that Bouzid cant be aa awful as some make out. And if he is, then awful seems to work so stick with it. I think Barrs confidence is just shot. This season is a write off for him, we just need to wait till next season and a fresh start. i still think he has a role to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBjambo Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Bouzid is awful and won tbe here next year. Perfect time to bed in Barr next to Zal for next season. This. No danger Bouzid will be here next season... Barr will be one of our CB's next season, hopefully with Zal. Don't get the Bouzid love in... Think he's decent but is helped immensely by Zal and when he has an off day or a mad moment Bouzid just about falls apart. Like to see Barr in the team sometime soon.

davieholt Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Barr will prove all the doubters wrong. He is a better footballer than Bouzid he just had some trouble settling in. I hope you are right. But while we still need to win games this season, I wouldn't want Barr anywhere near the first team. To my mind this just highlights the need to a competitive reserve league.

richie83 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think we need 2 look at other options. Bouzy will go defo but I'm not confident Barr can find the form along with consistency. If we are to pick up next season by improving the squad, centre halfs must be an area for investment. I feel we are ok in midfield and wide attacking positions. I'd try and sign a centre half or two along with another striker. After seeing GG yesterday and clum on and off throughout the season, I feel that we are weak when KK is out and S Elliot is not 100% fit. We need another striker who is a threat.

He has saved Zal quite a few times in the last three games so that is bullshit and when Zal has a mad moment Zal falls apart. If we are going to rely on Barr at centre back next season we will be lucky to get Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barr was immense for Falkirk and will be for Hearts, his situation is the same as Karipidis' was when he joined us... In and out of team never looked the part as he never had a position... Then when players left he became a great CB and leader for us. Barr has a future with us... See him as the mew Pressley and I really hope this happens not just to prove the doubters wrong.

portobellojambo1 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm sure, in his pre-match interview, JJ said he had picked up an injury in training. Think he picked an injury in training a wee while back now, which hasn't cleared up yet. I still fully expect Darren Barr to feature at Hearts, and win the doubters over. The thing is Jim Jefferies seems to see him as a full back and I think he'd be better at the centre of the defence eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Jim Jefferies seems to see him as a full back and I think he'd be better at the centre of the defence eventually. I dont think he is tall enough to be a Centre Half. Badly exposed when played there at the start of his Hearts career. I think he will develop into a right back. I also think he is a better player than he has so far shown.

Karipidis had to adapt to a new country and style of football, what is Barr reason? Pressley had already been a good player at a team challenge and the right end of the table.

Serge Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 No Darren Barr in the matchday squad yesterday. Could he be off or was he not available? Darren Barr is being paid ?5100 basic weekly. If he has a realistic view of his abilities as a player, I would seriously doubt that he'll be wanting to go anywhere else for the duration of his contract. Quarter of a million a year for doing some gym work and playing in training games is better than he'll get anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 If Barr was Lithuanian he'd be known as number 5. Because he is Scottish he will turn out to be great. If Barr constantly gets a game regardless how pesh he is he might just well get the "number 5" tag,until that happens then you have a very flawed argument. Anyway I was told that he absolutely shites himself at the prospect of playing at Tynecastle,that is from a club employee on the footballing side.

Well maybe his timing needs improved, as he has lost the vast majority of aerial challenges I have seen. Is this your only other player to support his lack of height as a Centre Half?
