Looks like he could be an excellent player. I wonder if he fancies coming to play for dad. I would say he looks a better prospect than brady in that he has more end product in the final third.
Won't happen, a) Nick won't bring him here b) very likely he will make it at Man U straight away, from what I hear he is impressing everyone at United.
Why wouldnt Nick bring him here? I am sure United would appreciate him if we gave him a bit of league experience and I am sure Nick would prefer him to be closer to home.
Can you imagine the potential abuse over favouritism, and how damaging it could be for both Nick and Jack, more so Jack? NB just won't put him into a situation that could be bad for him.
I can't see it happening, which could be a good thing. He could introduce some of his teammates to his dad helping to cement a loan move for other talented youngsters.
I'd go as far as to say that Jack Barmby is the least likely of all the Man United youth set-up to come to us.
I wouldnt want Jack Barmby here for both their sakes. As soon as he had a bad run of games, most on here would start slating Barmby snr for favourtism and it would do neither of them any good.
Think I saw an interview with Liam Rosenior and he used to play for one of the teams his dad managed, and I think he said he was always the first to get subbed, he said he was never sure if was so that Leroy was showing that he wasn't giving his son any favroutism.
i always remember the media saying Nigel Clough was often treated unfairly by his dad , Wasnt he always extra hash on Nige to show there was no favoritism?
look at fergie JNR he hardly played for united while he was there (admitidly nowhere near as good as the rest of the squad at the time though) but i think it would be a bad idea in case as people have said it goes tits up it will reflect/effect badly for both of them
Are we also forgetting that the lad is only 17 years old - good couple of years before utd would start to consider sending him out on loan.
I seem to remember Jeff Barmby not letting Nick play for us,when Nick was a young lad. Nick really wanted to but of course he went to spurs. I wonder if that might play a part in Nicks thinking.
