Ross Barkley

[Kever10]

6 of Kendall's first 7 signings in 1981 were all rubbish. The only one that was any good was Southall.

Moyes first 8 signings:

Joseph Yobo
Richard Wright
Espen Baardsen
Iain Turner
Li Tie
Nigel Martyn
James McFadden
Kevin Kilbane

Martyn and Yobo the only really good signings, with maybe Kilbane being decent.

You forgot Rodrigo, Ibrahim Said, Li Wei Feng and Eddie Bosnar, so they all fall before Nigel Martyn I think...

Yobo was ok.

Kenwright must be nervous. He has survived on the back of Moyes keeping us competitive on a shoe string, Manchester City and Utd paying ridiculous money for Lescott and Fellaini, and now the sky deal.

As delusional as BK is, he can't possible think he'd survive if we sold Barkley.

According to some unless they sell City only able to spend max £17m till the summer because of FFP restrictions.

Don't let that get in the way of a good story

It's a bit of that, but mostly the defeatist message that it once again sends. It establishes where we are ' in the pecking order', and that our best players can just be cherry-picked at will.

I think a lot of people wouldn't have much confidence that the money would be well spent either, and even taking out the factor of Martinez' judgement, you only have to look at Spurs post-Bale and Liverpool post-Suarez to see how easy it is to squander money.

tbh, i'm not really arsed about that. if it's a massive fee i.e. north of £40m, you look at it as a way of strengthening rather then getting rid of one of your better players. spurs and liverpool were both one man teams, you wouldn't see us struggle anywhere near as badly without barkley, even if we spent the money poorly.

If we sell him for 45m kenwright deserves a medal

lol I'd rather he stayed but he is still just a prospect at the moment. Hasn't done anywhere near enough on the pitch to warrant us rejecting 45Million pounds for him

 

[stamullenblue]

Agree. 45m would be great if all got spent on new players. Like Ross and see a bright future but to much to resist if that sort of offer comes in now
