Don't get all the fuss.
Ross is gonna be a top player but imo is not ready for week in week out premier league.
The shoite thought Owen was and ruined a promising player.
Loads of time for Ross.

Based on what?

I'm not necessarily saying he is ready, but what is this based on?

Note this is my opinion and may or may not be correct but i believe his all round game is not quite there.
Regardless of what others may say i think any midfielder SHOULD be capable of tackling and tracking back,i also think he is more liable to lose the ball than for eg.Osman and Pienaar.
Think somebody may have mentioned earlier re injuries to Vaughan and Vic, possibly too much exposure to the physicality of the premier league too soon.As i said Ross has plenty of time and will mature grow and his technical understanding of the game will improve.
I have no worries that Ross will be a great player for us in time,just every now and again at the moment
 
I've put him in my fantasy team cause I believe moyes will play him v Wigan. It's the obvious game for him and moyes will need to rotate. He'll get a game in the next 3

I agree with this he will get game time,just don't get the clamour for him to play 90 mins week in week out.
Gonna be a top player no doubt but he's not a 19 year old messiah

I honestly don't think anyones said they think he should be playing 90 mins week in week out.

So can you quote this clamouring, should be easy.

Due to him not playing, not for him not starting every match as you claimed though. There have been a number of opportunities where Moyes could have used Barkley as a sub rather than making changes like bringing Heitinga on to (unsuccessfully) defend a lead.

Exactly. Promising young players should be getting mins here and there, 20 min sub appearances, maybe the odd start at home.

Thats what people want. Not them sitting on their arse watching as gash gets on the pitch ahead of them.

He's not ready to play week in week out in the Prem. And at least half of the reason why is because he hasn't had the small appearances that lead up to that. He's never gonna be ready if his appearances are limited to 1 sub appearance away to Stoke, that was good but needs more.

After his performances in the 2011 pre season, and against QPR he clearly is a talented player who is good enough to be getting some game time which will help bring him on as a player.

Sitting on his arse won't.
 
I don't agree that he's not ready, he played every game for sheff wed week in week out in a very good league that is the championship, he needs to be playing 60-90 mins on a regular basis now to start kicking on. I hope he gets a run soon before his confidence slumps down again, he came back from Wednesday ready and fit to play and should have been used more in my opinion.
