It is an absolutely right expression. Please correct the spelling, it's threadbare which means hackneyed or cliched. Here, in this context, it means 'ineffectively stale' discussion, i.e. the discussion has so been held so often that it is not effective.
The same expression can be used for a place when it has a shabby appearance. e.g. When I entered the threadbare makeup studio, I changed my mind.
Similarly, when a cloth becomes old and tattered, it can be expressed with the same word. The old man walked on the threadbare carpet to cross the lobby.
