Louie Barry (on loan to Sheffield United)

[Legion]

Especially given today’s video, any updates on how much he’s playing/how he’s doing at Ipswich?

He isn't.

He isn't.

I don't know any details but I always look to see if he's in the squad but he's hardly featured.
Has he been injured aswell?

[Legion]

I don't know. Sorry.

[OCD]

I know he had some dental problems not long after joining.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

He's not been injured.

I don't know. Sorry.

I live in suffolk - so I get the local paper.  Thought I would go and see him - https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/ipswich/sport/transfer-talk-villa-contemplate-recalling-youngster-9219543/

From what I understand he's impressed in training, fans think he looks a little lightweight, but hasn't really had a chance. 

Think Ipswich are still on their Paul Lambert hangover - which we know all about

[Legion]

Thank you.

[Nunkin1965]

Thanks for the update.
Much appreciated.
It sounds like he just hasn't caught a break and got a decent run in the side and it does, barring injuries, seem like he won't get a chance.
Is there an option to recall him in January?

Yes I believe so.  I read somewhere (though can't find it), that they were looking to call him back potentially.

It's a shame - as I thought it was a good move for him.  TBF I have only seen him against Liverpool seniors and in the FA Cup Youth final - but I thought he looked a bit special so I thought he would get more chances. 

Currently, they are playing 1 upfront - which probably doesn't help, though he could probably play wide / inside forward.

He'd be better off training with our first team than theirs.

[Legion]

A recall with a further loan move to a League 1 or 2 side might be the best option for him.

The Swindon fan on the Kesler thread mentioned rumours that they want to take him for the 2nd half of the season.

So is the decision by our loans management team to send Barry to Ipswich a poor one?

Well not really. We dont know how barry is looking in training. This move isnt working out recall him and loan him out to another side

[Nunkin1965]

It did look like a great move from the outside.
Paul Cook is a seasoned manager who did a brilliant job at Wigan and seems to be turning things  around at Ipswich.
It would be a surprise from our point of view if he stayed there though as he's more than ready for first team football at that level.
Maybe a drop down to a lesser side and he'll be flying in no time.
