Will go down as one of the worst signings in our history. Literally a charity. I think that one goes to Kyle Bennett for the amount he was on and the duration of his contract. He could be a contender for the top 3 though.

Disappointing if he was to leave, I think he has genuine quality. It must be demoralizing for him to get near to elite fitness levels only for his body break down. I hope he can break this cycle and become the professional footballer he has shown glimpses of. Some of the comments he gets on here and social media are awful. He was quite engaging on social media at first now seems scarred. If you read this Josh some of us understand the struggles you get in life no matter what job you undertake. If your future is away from Rovers then the best of luck.

With squad limitation sizes, will anyone want to sign an injured player - perhaps Ben Garner will take him and Harries maybe - Swindon are short of players.

My initial thought was Harries but he sent Barrett out to the u23s so doubt he will revisit. They are short on players mind so you never know. Liddle and Hargreaves could be in with a shout mind

Wael could at least have the courtesy to unfollow players heading out the door, like he does when following incomings

Maybe he just wanted to get rid of stuff that makes him feel negative about his body? His latest post is a couple of pictures of him training with Sam Nicholson.

If your future is away from Rovers then the best of luck. I think he's been a victim of the new squad size rules, just when he looked like he'd got himself into really good shape he's picked up another injury. I'm not sure JB feels he can gamble with a squad place on someone whose struggled to stay fit. I'd definitely agree there's a player in there and personally there are others I'd move on ahead of him, I guess it all comes down to whether we can keep him fit

I hope this is the first signs that Barrett is leaving ....
Dont mean to sound harsh but he has been stealing a living from us and whilst there might be issues behind the scene including our own awful inhouse medical set up he should surely have done so much more to help himself.
If i become over weight i diet - it doesn't take 18 months to show the difference, 18 days maybe !! People will say maybe he has a dna issue - well dont be a professional footballer then - maybe be a postman, you can get regular exercise and still wear shorts!!
Guy is right up there with Bennett and Mark Little as being an awful waste of our money ... we keep putting money into the club and these people have been robbing it back out.

He was also responsible for the signing of Nichols, paying way over what DC felt he was worth.
Nichols was someone DC was interested in because he felt he was cheap and worth a punt if he could develop him only to find a fee and contract well over his personal valuation was agreed.

The phrase I dislike the most and heard so many times on Rovers forums over the years is “ there’s a player in there somewhere “ or similar. None of the players have gone on to anything of note to my knowledge.

Barrett was overweight when he was on loan at Coventry a few years back the fans were on about that then a shocking signing unprofessional not to be fit

I do think Barrett has ability, whether or not that ever translates into performances for us or someone else remains to be seen but I'd like to see what he could do when fit, getting him to that stage is obviously the factor that will most probably see him leave.
