Do you want a medal ?
You said he would be back in the team before the end of the season. Guess what ? Nobody cares. He should be in the squad whenever he's fully fit. Apparently that would be right now because he's playing internationals and playing for the reserves.
Quite right. David Moyes has said and implied how much he rates Ross Barkley. You could tell he couldn't contain his admiration for him. When asked - why did he say of anyone at Everton that Barkley was the one to watch.
Therefore you've got to consider that Moyes has much more of an eye on Barkley's entire career. Therefore is resisting the temptation to throw him in.
NO LAD. He wasn't ready. He almost is now.
YOU WUZ TOLD!
April? FFS whether he is ready or not isn't for any of us to decide but it's a piss take that we have to watch the team draw with QPR while he sits impotently on the bench. He could have made a difference on saturday.
Damon, are you saying then in April, Moyes will pick him ahead of out of form/awful favourites like Neville?
David Moyes said:"My intention is to reintroduce Ross back into the first-team squad and my idea was always to do it around April time," Moyes revealed. "I've told the boy what my thoughts were. I think he needed six months of games. I hear a lot of people asking where Ross is but he's not been ready to play in the team. But there are certainly signs that he is getting better now.
"I think it was for his own good. He needed the games and we've played him in the reserves and the youth team. We've tried to get as many games into him as possible because he missed a year and a half of football prior to that. He's missed so much football and now I'm looking to reintroduce him again towards the end of the season, when I think it's a bit easier to do."
HE MIGHT GET INJURED FFS HES ONLY A BABY LAD HIS BONES ARE MADE OF ICECREAM ETC ETC
For all the fuming going on now here, that would pale in comparison to if he did play and got injured. All these fumers would fume that Moyes was "tactically inept" etc etc etc.
They'd love to be fuming even more if that happened.
If he's ready Moyes has as much said that himself. Barkley just needed more time, and more football in and around the U21's the reserves etc.
If he starts giving him game time ahead of the likes of Neville, or subs Osman, Cahill or whoever when were chasing a game and gives Barkley 30 mins, I will doff my cap to you, at the moment it just words.
