past it and poor disposal. i think he have enough of those skills on our list. barlow doesn't add anything and doesn't fit the criteria set by the club.
Barlow had 43 touches in his 3rd last game this year. Disposals don't tell the full story but he's clearly still capable of playing good football & for that reason I expect many clubs to be in contact with his management.
The criteria set by the club is a guide and can't be taken as an absolute. We're focusing on players under 23 but that doesn't mean we're recruiting in that age bracket exclusively - see Wright last year, Smedts and Palmer this year.
We may or may not go down the path of recruiting Barlow, but if the coaches and list management team believe he can be of use to us next year and possibly beyond, you can be certain we'll be exploring the option.
