That can't be the case? Don’t know who is friends with who, away from the club. So they could be guessing like us. Or they could have spoke to him personally. Not all player’s get on and speak to each other in their spare time. You don't have to be best buddies with a workmate/buddy to know more than total strangers what's going on with them at work, particularly if it's common knowledge JB's told all of BG's fantastic signings to find new clubs, if he has it's hard to understand how TW's remaining at the club in any capacity. I wouldn't be surprised if only Jaakola and Kilgour were in the 1st team squad for our first game, and even those two might have agents looking for new clubs.

At this moment in time he is stealing a living from our football club just like Bennett Ehmer and Payne did That's a bit harsh on Bennett and Payne, even Ehmer, as at least they played some games, Barretts done F All, if he does leave this summer (he's already changed his Instra profile pic to one in a Reading top) it's hard to think of a 1st team squad player who's played less game time. It has been the reading banner photo for a long time mate

It has been the reading banner photo for a long time mate I know but at one point it was in the Rovers shirt, so it's an odd change if he's not leaving.

If he does end end getting released then I expect to see him show up in a few years at the Dog and Duck FC showing off the physical effects of Big Jock’s diet.

Looks in good shape to me and interesting to see him thank Mansell for helping him in the difficult times. If he is staying, let’s hope his injury issues are behind him and his potential gets realised.

He might have been told he can leave or alternatively the post has nothing at all to do with his job. Whatever the situation there are some incredibly harsh comments on this thread. Personally I dont see why he wont be back for pre season hes under contract and obviously has ability if he comes back unfit then we still have the choice to pay him off. Looking at that photo I wouldnt mind being that 'fat'

Looking at that photo I wouldnt mind being that 'fat' Why are any of the comments harsh, he's been here 18 months and hardly ever been fit or played a full game, whilst always looking overweight. It's players like Barrett who've led to us to now having to watch L2 football next season.

Im not saying we've had value for money from him but in his defence hes been unlucky with injuries particularly last pre season when he did his hamstring. It just makes me uncomfortable seeing posters constantly hammer him about his weight. Hopefully he'll arrive for pre season in good shape and we can see the player we thought we'd signed, if not then I'm sure JB will quickly show him the door

Maybe he is off out tonight and the shoes he intends to wear ( the ones that match the colour of his belt because that’s how you dress ) have laces. Speaking from experience are we

We pay players good money to actually play football , preferably in the first team and hopefully play bloody well. He hasn’t . That’s why some of us aren’t impressed and would be happy to see him go along with most of the others who haven’t performed. We’ve had a soft underbelly for far too long at this club . It’s professional football, you have to perform and earn your wage packet .

In all honesty, my preference is that he shows up at peak fitness (this pic is a good start) and ready to work his socks off. He becomes the best player in L2 as we thought when he was signed, he gets us promoted as part of a strong side, and at some point is sold for £8m and helps the club finances too. I’ll be an optimist on this one.

Are/were you aware of his fitness levels, niggling injuries, bigger injuries that may or may not have prevented him from training fully or being in the best shape? Thought not, just spouting cr@p with no knowledge of the situation or details. #faithfulandtrue

His "next challenge" should be ripping up League Two.

So, how did he end up here? Last season I suspect Garner didn't get him truly fit
