Ross Barkley

[Stend]

Show me when ive EVER said im always at the game.

I infact say the opposite.

I ain't bothered if you're at the game or not. It doesn't make me or anyone else a better fan. Which is what you've just said to me.

Look, all t*ttishness aside, the reason I'm a "Barkley Believer" is because of the QPR game. As someone said earlier, every time he got on the ball the crowd held their breath because it was crystal clear that the lad was something special. It's just his stature.

Do you know what hype is? Because it's exactly what you have just written about.

It wasn't a 'crystal clear' indication of proven ability at all, it was anticipation about what this exciting new Barkley lad might do.

Mate fed up of these part time Evertonians who read these forums and watch highlights from sky and seem to have a major footballing opinion on everything blue. I've witnessed it with my own eyes. !

Ah, so you wernt at that game. When he played a full 90mins and got Radio City MOM and 5mins or so on match of the day, praising him.

I know you're far away mate. But you need to get to the game more.

Anyone can say they go home an away over the Internet lad. Everyone sees it differently but hes wrong about Barkley and I'm sure he'll prove that.

I'm a crap fan? It's my local club, I support the club as much as anyone else. Says you who is "always" at the game but hasn't seen enough of Barkley, with 15mins at QPR. When he had an absolute blinder for a full 90 mins. "Always at the game"

I ain't bothered if you're at the game or not. It doesn't make me or anyone else a better fan. Which is what you've just said to me.

Sit the fck down.

There's two midfielders of this generation where I've thought "they're the next big thing" without question. One of them, Jack Wilshere, is well on his way to becoming it. Barkley, thanks to giving away a penalty once, hasn't been let of the leash.

Those who believe in Barkley simply haven't seen anything since that QPR game to justify his complete and utter demotion from the first team squad. Maybe he has deteriorated badly since then, who knows, but for me it seems extremely unlikely as the lad has definite pure talent.

The likely reason is because of his mentality, but you gain that via first team experience, so that's the frustration for me - it's a catch 22; maybe he hasn't got the mentality to hold shape or whatever, but he's surely worth a place on the bench for the games when we're a goal or two down and we need to roll the dice?

I truely believe Moyes feels he doesn't need to use him. I believe he thinks this squad of players he has is all he needs and I truely believe after all these years in charge he seems to have gathered he can't win anything with inexperience and kids.

I truely believe Moyes thinks he's a good player. But I think hes trying to act like an Alex Ferguson at the same time. He trying to do what the top end managers have done with their top players. He kept referring to Beckham when he was sending Ross on loan. The thing is Fergusons squads have always been better than ours.

You haven't seen anything in him, so you're dismissing him. I have, so I'm bigging him up.

They're opposites, but the same approach. You're saying he's "nowhere near the first team" based on the exact same things as I've seen.

So when you're telling me to stop "hyping him up" or whatever, I can legitimately tell you to "stop saying he's crap".

But I don't, because it's opinion. Hence the sentence "the reason I'M a "Barkley Believer". I believe he's going to be a very good player. And as we're on an Everton forum discussing Everton players, I'm simply contributing to a discussion on him.

I lost?

I beat you with your own ego.

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

 

[Tubey]

You're arguing about who won on the internet.

Ergo, you both lost.

So why have you neg repped me 20,000 points the whole time I've been here? I've had the odd neg rep but far more good reps. It's you who can't have a debate without me repping me ridiculous amounts. It hasn't gone unnoticed from others either.... Just saying

I actually wasnt even arguing.

I was simply proving a point.
