I know im going to get a real bollocking for this but here goes, if we need to rebuild at least four positions, Goalkeeper, Centre half, Winger and another number 10, then would people consider selling someone like Barkley for decent money to bring in Marshall, Kjaer, Honda and Depay for example ?

It is so crucial that we keep hold of Barkley , once he finds his form there will be no stopping him. Injuries haven't helped either.
 

Sell Barkley and sign Cardiff's keeper, Lille's half-decent cb with no prem experience, a talented but notoriously temperamental winger and a 28 year old (both with no prem exp.0 I know their examples, but no, never, ever. Barks is gonna be one of the best midfielders in Europe in the next 5 years if he reaches his potential. He was superb last night and has finally started to hit form after that injury.
 
is there actually a chance we could get gerard back in jan or is he on loan for full season at sevilla? anyone know how he's getting on?

also didnt Enrique say everton ruined him? trying to make him track back and [Poor language removed] ...

are the likes of Perisic and Depay actual targets or just footy manager talk?

roberto's already said he'd be looking to the youth rather than to buy, it's also a question of do we have any money to spend?

imo we desperately need another pacy winger. mcgeady isn't cutting it, atsu looks hopeless, now injured, and i've heard chelsea arent hapy with how little game time he's getting anyway

although Oviedo is an option we could use wide, as is McAleny. I think he tried to hard to impress against Krasnador, he clearly has some talent, and martinez wouldnt have given him a 3 year deal if he thought otherwise

long term we need a new keeper, cb to partner stones, and a proper 10 if barkley is to play deeper. someone who can actually make use of lukaku by slipping through balls in behind the defence (a similar player to an eriksen, mata, oscar etc)

dont know if january is right time to address those positions

1) loan all season
2) yes we apparently did ruin him by not letting him be creative
3) Perisic according to some people was a goer in the summer. Depay a dream for some.
4) we spent 28 million aparently on a player, on past history have we got any money? lol

As you acknowledged it was only a suggestion based on what people have said here previous, i hope barkley is the real deal but given were we are now to how we were say 2002, we sold lescott, arteta, rooney and rodwell for decent sums (some argue arteta fee wasnt enough) but we used the money wisely, i think we bought arteta, cahill, jags, baines and such on the back of these sales to begin with.

Hopefully the money is there from TV deals etc and we dont have to buy to sell any longer.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumour, anecdotal and twitter rubbish no doubt, taht we are looking to buy Deulofeu in January
asking not adding fuel
 
We must buy a decent goalie, we dont have one and if we are going to progress the defence cant be twitching every time a low shot comes in for Howard to palm out
