Berry Training with Torquay

LifelonGreen · Oct 28, 2014

Seems like any prospect of an immediate move to league 1 failed to materialise as he's now training with Torquay. If he decides to sign for them it makes his decision to refuse the contract in the summer seem ludicrous. However I'm glad he did as in Mellor we have a much better player in my opinion.

I doubt he'll sign for them though seems to be short term for fitness.

Good luck to him.

Probably about his level.

I thought he was a decent player, although he seems to have been badly advised. When I first starting watching Argyle I thought he was one of our most talented players--the others being Hourihane and Nelson. I think he's young enough to come again.

Potential to be a solid L2 right back. Awful distribution, though. Awful.

Never thought he had a great attitude if I'm honest & clearly thought he was better than he was by turning us down thinking he'd get better.

Good luck to him I guess, probably his level.

Not sure you could question his attitude whilst he was with us. Certainly couldn't accuse him of giving less than 100% on the field of play.

Harl has it right though, he didn't suit 3-5-2 where the full backs were the players who had time and space. He didn't want the ball, at Mansfield away last year him and Reckord were truly awful and there desire to not have the ball at feet, made Conor's job in midfield impossible.

He'll make it in the Conf or League 2 as an out and out defender who has decent pace and upper body strength, but he doesn't have the technical ability to play much if any higher.

It does just go to show how naive some of these young lads are, that they believe that League 1 clubs will throw money at just anybody.

He was quick, struggling to think of anything else he brought to the team.

He was poo. Even my 7 year old lad could see it. Unless he was influenced by me shouting it every time Berry did something rubbish (which was often)

I don't think it was an attitude problem, more delusions of grandeur.

Never a fan. If he was half as good as he thought he was it would still be twice as good as he really was, got himself into situations too often.

Signed non contract deal

Tamar Raider · Nov 2, 2014

I guess it'll give him the chance to find a deal somewhere at Conference level.

Newmansd · Nov 2, 2014

Apparently Torquay don't have the funds to give him a contract, so I'd imagine he'll be looking to impress another Conference team?

Ollieargyle9 · Nov 2, 2014

I always thought he was a decent enough right back at our level. It sounds harsh but I'm glad he left though, we've found a far better player in the form of Mellor.

Good luck to him, hopefully he'll prove himself with Torquay at that level and get a permanent deal elsewhere, sad to see a young lad's career slowly tail off :sad:
