Nick Barmby Reviews

Just as everything seems to be turning sour for Nicky Barmby - missing out on all Liverpool's Cup treble triumphs in 2001 following a succession of injuries, an ankle operation which destroyed his 2001-02 season and then seeing a succession of big money foreigners arrive at Anfield to start dropping him down the pecking order as the new season ...  Read the complete review

Q: Which footballer scored the first goal for England during both Sven Goran Eriksson's and Glenn Hoddle's reigns? A: Well, as you've probably sussed this piece is about Nicky Barmby, then you undoubtedly know that he's the man, but honestly would you have remembered otherwise? For amidst all the brouhaha about ...  Read the complete review

Nick Barmby has definitely made the right decision to move from Everton to Liverpool. The switch in Merseyside has both helped Liverpool to star in Europe, the FA Cup and the Worthington Cup as well as doing well in the league, but has also destroyed Everton's dreams of achieving anything this season - they lie in low table, but probably safe ...  Read the complete review

Ever since Nick Barmby has been playing professional football i have not rated him. When he signed for Liverpool this season i thought what a waste of money. I really didn't think that he woulf play much for liverpool this season (i guess that is why i'm not a manager). Barmby has been one of the players of the season so far for ...  Read the complete review

Barmby has been accepted by the Liverpool faithful with open arms since his move across Stanley Park. The fans here love him and he turned out to be a better asset than I anticipated if not most Liverpool fans. His versatility has proved extremely useful and he is one of the only layers this season to have taken part in every game. He has also ...  Read the complete review

Nick Barmby is a quality player but there was a lot of debate about whether Liverpool actually needed him and whether he was worth the transfer fee. Well with the injury to Berger it seems that Nick will get a good run in the first team and should be able to prove how good he is. Nick has played for England a few times and he had a good ...  Read the complete review

It isn't very often that you see a player move between two clubs that have huge local rivalry, and the Everton / Liverpool rivalry is one of the most intense you will find. Nick Barmby changed from being hated by Liverpool fans to being loved by Liverpool fans in a s short period of time, and while he did that he changed from being loved by ...  Read the complete review

It is strange to see a player travel from Everton to Liverpool. Usually it is Liverpool palming their rejects on Everton but never has a good player gone the other way. Nicky Barmby I think is a great signing. In the warm up games to Euro 2000 I thought that he was by far Englands best player and when it got to the Portugal game and Keegan had ...  Read the complete review

The most shocking thing in today's mirror (apart form the crapness of the paper itself) was the news that Nick Barmby is earning £45,000 a week at Liverpool. Naturally, like most footballers he was prepared to swap a first team place to sit on the bench for more money, but how were Liverpool so stupid as to offer him that much, Sure, ...  Read the complete review

The recent signing of Nick Barmby from across Stanley Park will prove to be a fantastic buy for Liverpool. He is exactly what we lack, someone to put balls through for the likes of Owen, Fowler and Heskey to finish. He is extremely creative and is just reaching the peak of his career. The transfer will cause great uproar among Everton supporters, ...  Read the complete review

What a good buy for Liverpool is Nick Barmby, he has improved immensely since his Middlesbrough days, and even since his Everton days. He has fitted in to the team with ease. His performances have been excellent, especially in the European match the other night in Romania, his runs up and down the wings were excellent, and he is a great crosser ...  Read the complete review

Nick Barmby in my view has improved remarkably over the last season, he has become an excellent player. I, think we have a player other than Paul Scholes who can run into the box and score goals from midfeild. If he continues to play like this I can see him playing for England for a couple of more years yet. Against France, he was one of ...  Read the complete review

Well I thought Nick Barmby was nothing more than an average player, not doing much in his first season at Everton and some tough injury problems, but he’ really come back well. In his early days he was tipped widely to be a real talent and he was until some injuries and bad transfers took their hold upon him, he didn’t seem to have ...  Read the complete review

I hope Nick Barmby plays consistently well for Liverpool as it will help Liverpool both in Europe and in the league, I do sympathise with Evertonians when he left but remember Peter Beardesly and Gary Ablett they left Liverpool to go to Goodison, so Everton fans over time might learn to forgive Barmby for moving across Stanley Park. ...  Read the complete review

I highly rate gerrad Houllier as a manager but i really do think that he made a wrong choice with nick barmby! 6 million is what he paid for him. I am sorry to say wwhy the hell did he bid so high when everton only wanted 4 million? And i dont even hink that nick barmby is that good a player anyway! If he really was good ...  Read the complete review

In my view the thing that I question the most is his reliabilty. I mean he was constantly on the bench at Everton or on the sidelines because he was picking up injuries all the time. Granted at the end of the season he was back and banging them in left right and centre but he seemed to have more trouble than its worth. I kinda think the ...  Read the complete review

Nick Barmby deserves a warm welcome at Anfield as he has recently come into form for his previous club, Everton, and country, England. Now he will join the red side of Liverpool, he should be applauded for his move as Liverpool has such a strong midfield and with no guarantee on a place, he has still come to Liverpool to try to enhance our ...  Read the complete review

Nick Barmy should and I think probably will be in England's starting line-up for the Germany game. Not wanting to take anything away from the lad, but he's our only choice! What about Wise? or Phil Neville pushed up from the back? I hear you ask, and these are options, but not very good ones. If Wise plays on the left ...  Read the complete review

Of course Nick Barmby should start on the "troublesome" left for England. He has played there week in and week out for Everton this season and has been highly praised for his perormances by just about everybody. Why, you may ask? He is terrrier like in midfield with a work rate to match anyone else you care to mention, he has developed a ...  Read the complete review
