Ross Barkley

[Jacko93]

Every person with a brain cell knows to have any chance in the Euros the midfield should be Barkley Wilshere and one other (Carrick if still at a good level). Instead like we have at every other tournament, an England manager who is repulsed by flair will field the likes of Henderson Milner Delph Jones and whichever new Liverpool player has played more than 5 games in the PL that season.

We're rubbish at international football because we leave all the footballers on the bench or at home. To think in all those years Scholes and Carrick were caning the league they were being left out of the squad for the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Barry, Milner, Jenas. Embarrassing.

Wilshere? Really? He shouldn't be anywhere near the England team, at any time ever. He's an incredibly limited footballer and a massive fake.

I m just hoping he will be good for next season . This was awful . If he come good next season that will be half of job for fight to CL place, becouse when he hit right form hes amazing. I wanna Lennon to stay and to play with two wingers or winger and wide Mid.. No Naismith carp anymore. But Barkley must be better.

If that gets near £35M I think it'd force hands.

We don't need to sell that's the thing.

I can't believe we're actually discussing how much money we could get for him, rather than how good a player he could go on to become for us. Is this what Everton has reduced you all to?

He showed glimpses of the quality that he does have and that everyone knows he has, but he is still making the same silly mistakes that he has always made, ie getting caught in possession in his own half and then not chasing back, and his decision making still needs to improve.

All in all I thought he did well last night and hopefully he will eradicate these mistakes and become the player we all hope he would become.

No, but there's a lot of people who would look at a bid of that size and say 'well, he's in and out of form for us, so why not take it?'.

...and the owners of this club will ALWAYS look to cash in on potential.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez said recently that midfielder Ross Barkley would need a "proper break" in the summer, while Southgate has previously said he is "not convinced another tournament in the summer would be right" for Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling, who played for England in the 2014 World Cup.

Says it all really...

You can't help but laugh at all the comments from England fans in the papers today, gunning him down and criticising him massively... all because he was once compared to gazza and they seemingly expect him to be a world beater.

I truly hate the mentality of english football fans, they post comments criticising the media for overhyping players and yet behave just as abhorrently by doing the complete opposite and writing and slagging off young talents before their career has properly got started.

Does my head in so much

This is really getting on my nerves.

If you want to take the strongest XI for the Under-21s I have no problem with that at all, Southgate. But this means you have to take everyone. Sterling, Barkley, Kane, etc. You can't just drop Sterling and Kane because they're "past that stage" because as soon as you call any player up to the main squad they're past that stage. You want the strongest team possible? Take it. Otherwise, leave the players who don't want to go.
