Ross Barkley

[Chimpy Glassman]

I'd sell him for £100 trillion.

You wish you had owners like ours you absolute no mark. If you can't have a grown up conversation about football without resorting to sounding like a prepubescent teenage girl screaming Harry Styles will never have girlfriend, then maybe you should stick to talking to people of a similar intellect and leave the grown ups to have grown up conversations.

I would like to know why a kid that has his debut date for his childhood team tattooed on his arm, and wears the same date as his kit number, is really excited to join your lot. I know that money and frustration change things, but really, what's his ambition?

This conversation can also be had in a juvenile fashion, if your prefer that discourse.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Can I just remind everyone of this -
‘Fifty million? We wouldn’t let anyone out on loan in January,’

Relax.

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

Ross Barkely over-rated.

Christ on a kin bike.

I'll tell you where I got it from. Someone who attended RM's press conference this week. Martinez spoke off the record about what's going on with Barkley. They want as much money as they can get out of City, but they're going to sell him to us whether it be this Jan or next summer.

Phenomenal stuff here, max rep

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

Wait. Are we talking about Martinez or the Journo?

Why? Just because he was poor when he came on yesterday?

I thought @The Other Blues did a really good job for a WUM, but I'd rather see them settle in a bit. It was too aggressive. How do you rate him then?

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

They all do that Manc "swagger" ala Oasis,but only manage to look like they've followed through in their jeans,the tramps

Sincerely hope this is pure tosh about Ross being sold.

If that doesn't happen I'm happy for the mods on this forum to ban me permanently from the site for being a wum. I'm confident in the information i have.

HAHA someone please ban this ted.

That's not true mate. We can spend what we like come next summer. The commercial revenue which the club brings in has put us in a position where FFP will be nothing more than a passing afterthought in the coming years.

You can hear it the tone of his quotes that something's going on. Very aggressive in terms of building a picture of "players need to be careful etc etc". Using the Owen to Madrid analogy. Talking about one club in particular to whom it doesn't matter whether a player has signed a contract or not.

I think City will end up signing minimum three top drawer players next summer. Reus is number 1 on their list. Looks like they don't want to miss out on Barkley either. 45 million sounds about fair in today's market. Lets see how he does for the remainder of the season and how his knees hold up.

Before anyone starts accusing me of being arrogant etc. I think Kenwright is going to sell, and certainly the people i've spoken to suggest he's already at the table negotiating.

Unbelievable.

Their "commercial revenue" is under investigation. The image rights deal they signed with their womens team UEFA were particularly unhappy with along with the deal with NY.

Incidentally the value of those was the same size as the CL revenue fine.

You need to change your user name to Edward Woodward with a pic of the Equaliser, superb investigative work as always mate with your finger firmly on the FFP pulse.

He can't hear you. Well, strictly speaking he can, because you don't need to be registered to read the forum, but you get my drift ?
