This comes after Villa fan Twitter account @villareport shared a post on their page relaying information originally shared by the Daily Mail that the club are “in talks with Barcelona” over a move for 16-year-old English striker Louie Barry.
Do Villa need to sign Louie Barry this month?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a number of replies from Villa fans who were excited by this latest rumour linking the teenager with a move to Villa Park.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans reacting to this latest transfer rumour:

The teenage centre-forward signed for the Spanish club in July from Villa rivals West Brom on a free transfer (per TransferMarkt). Now after making just three appearances for the Barcelona U19 squad, rumours have emerged that Villa are looking to snap up the youngster and bring him back to Birmingham.
If its true he’s turns out quality

Villa fan! Bring him home.
Could be world class if given the right direction.

What do we think?
If Villa can lure the teenager away from Barcelona and back over to England, they could land themselves with a future England prospect. Whether Barry would be an additional member to Villa’s youth squad or get a chance in the first team to cover the injured Wesley will be up to Dean Smith.
