Ross Barkley

[paulbefc]

Maybe it's just me, but I reckon Martinez has enough between his ears not to go releasing extremely sensitive information like this in front of a group of journalists, mid-season, on record or not. I'm amazed someone could be so gullible and ignorant as to believe this could have and actually has happened.

This is quite possible the worst rumour I've ever heard and I'm a football fan ffs.

And yes, I also appreciate the likelihood that the scrote has made it up himself to wind people up. It's a shame he actually had some luck, but we've all been there...

Shocked #Barkley4City isn't trending after the revelations of this morning and off the record stuff Bobby openly talks about to journos who write for the Salford Gazette

It's almost as if it never happened.


Weird.

As someone who spends quite a bit of time going to press conferences;

the manager walks in, says hello. The media ask their questions, camera's get seperate interviews (depending on how hte club does it), and then the Manager goes again. He doesn't stay for a chat afterwards nor does he speak about anything clubwise.

You did, a City fan taking the piss out of Everton fans.

I read...it was pretty precious.

Defo, but we're that docile that we lie down and let beauts come on here and take the piss because, you know, we're dead fair us and is right.

I think he was put in his place today mate by a fair few of us taking the piss out of him. I'm sure he's a sound kid and genuinely believes that Ross is keen on moving there. I'm hoping he sticks around as it's something he obviously feels he has inside info on so he has a chance to buzz off us in Jan/August/2015/2016 or 2017 whenever this deal happens or we can buzz off him when it doesn't.

now that the rs have been piped down and we can quietly enjoy their fall, we can get back to hating all mancs again, and with good reason, the self loathing scruffy weapons, all giant coats and homeless barnets, infested with woolness both their clubs, from some of the grottiest no mark towns around

Good Summary

This "City" fan's a well written wind up.

Martinez winds up his official presser then tells the assembled flotsam of the UK press that he trusts them to keep it quiet but we're already negotiating with City, trusts them not to contradict him when he says Barkley's not for sale ? That's before you get to driving down the sale value of a £60M asset wanted by various clubs, by admitting you want to sell ?

Shame that good Blues like @BluenosePaul , sound lads without too many brain cells, are falling for this.

 

[Del]

Martinez like "Listen lads don't say anything but I'm really selling him, LOL, Keep it quite though yer? Don't be sticking it in the papers and that"

 

[Moomin]

I've heard at the press conference once the cameras are off they play " Wheel of Everton transfer " just like the wheel from the hit quiz show but it spins around with a transfer value and a name of a top European club in each segment.

TBF i actually believe it, imagine you're Bobby,

You know what it's like when you've got a bit of juicy goss...you wanna tell someone, but you know you can't, you keep it in, but the more people you pass or speak to, the more it bubbles up...until eventually you just have to shout "BARKLEY'S GOING TO CITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY."

Instantly you realise, "oh god, i've said it outloud...quick who've i said it to? Jimmy Martin? My wife? Bill?"

"OH FFS!!! I've only gone and said it to all the press!!!!"

"OH BOBBY!!! What have you done! You've really messed up this time, no...wait stay calm, come on, be logical, you know these guys"

"Thank god they're the type of people who won't spread the gossip, they'll keep it quiet until it happens!"

"Roberto, this time you've slipped up, but you trust these guys, they're respected journalists. It'll be fine, phenomenal recovery"

*wipes brow and walks out*

Am I the only one who thinks he's massively over-rated on here?

 

[blue4eva77]

No wonder other peoples fans think were morons the way you treat people on here including your own!

Calling yourself forum god shows how much of an absolute weapon you are.

Probably.
He's still a raw talent, but when he blossoms into the full article - what a player he will be !!!!!
