Ross Barkley

He might not end up being the next Gazza, but he's got bags of talent and I hope we hold onto him

He may not ever be World Class, but I can see him being in the bracket just below and he could even make it to the promised land of World Classery if it all starts clicking for him

If believing Sturridge is a better player than Ings, Berainho and Charlie Austin OR disagreeing with someone who groups Lampard/Gerrard together with Milner & Jenas makes me a Kopite..so be it I guess. Gerrard and Lampard have both consistently excelled at an even higher level than International football (Champions League) so their failures for England have absolutely nothing to do with their perceived lack of quality.

I'm a fan of football. Not a fan of football tribalism. The only team I have loyalties to is Belgium. Anyway, I'm not going to derail this thread even further so lets leave it at that.

Good post mate. As was your post from the 24th, I rate Sturridge.

This is obviously a stupid question like, but are you a Belgian then ? I kind of assumed you were a Chelsea fan. Nothing wrong with that by the way, we welcome away fans.

There has also been some debate over whether Barkley and a number of other senior internationals still eligible for the Under-21s should play in the summer’s European Under-21 Championships.

Martinez had been erroneously reported as being against his player representing the U21s this summer. But today he declared: “I have never said that Ross wouldn’t benefit from going to that tournament. I always said that it was something where you need to allow the season to finish and assess the need from England’s point of view and from where the player is.

“I have been asked many times and I can give you an overall assessment that for players at younger ages, tournament experience is part of your development. When a player has already played in a senior competition like a World Cup you need to see the value in him participating in one at a lower level.

“But that is in general – that is not Ross Barkley. Ross has had a specific season and it is a very different angle now to what it was two months ago and it will be very different again in two months’ time. “We are going to make it as simple as it should be which is allowing Ross to finish the season as strong as he can be, enjoying his football, and at the end of the campaign we will sit down with England and we will make the best decision for all parties.”

Why on earth would we want him to be the next Gazza...
