McAleny's a red? What? Also when you say Vellios isn't going to make it do you mean he's not good enough? I've always labelled him as the next Big Dunc.

Noooo, Barkley's mate is a red, not McAleny! Sorry I didn't explain it very well. Apparently his attitude is off and he's not good enough in the first place anyway, really don't think he'll be living up to the next Big Dunc label any time soon haha.

Based on your insider knowledge of Nandos mate, how do you rate that chicken? Is it all it's meant to be?

It's alright mate, not worth the money like. It's good chicken, really nice, but the rest of the food isn't all that. The chips are just McCain's oven chips, the mash is microwaved. Good chicken but at over a tenner for your meal you'd be much better getting a bargain bucket from KFC!
 
His mate also tells me that Vellios is never gonna make it. He said he's not really all that.

Right, so Barkley's kopite mate says Vellios isn't gonna make it and we're supposed to take that seriously?

From what I've seen, Vellios is the most promising out of all our younglings (I'd put Ross just behind him in second place, tho').

Very funny...

Moyes hasn't got the best record in sorting out players with attitude. Maybe he could try to improve that part of his management with Vellios.

You don't have to take it seriously.

I'm passing on what I've been told. The forum is here for people to do that. It's his best mate, he's with him all the time, goes the game with him all the time. Probably tells him everything. Why wouldn't you take that seriously?

Who's attitude is bad? Barkley or Vellios?
 

Not that any of you care, but I don't think Barkley will make it & I think Vellios has tons of potential. Would love to know why we don't give him a fair crack.

Vellios. Maybe he just seems that way though because he's not really the workhorse type. The main point was that he's not that good anyway and McAleny is the better of the two.

Obviously none of this is gospel, it's just coming from Barkley's best mate, and he obviously gets to know stuff from Ross.
 
What's this?

I think Barkley is overhyped and won't be a Premier League Footballer - well, definately not as good as the hype that surrounds him.

Don't get me wrong, the lad can play but so could Wallace & Baxter. I honestly don't think he's got 'it'. And those saying he's young etc, Moyes hasn't shyed away from throwing lads in at the deep end, Rodwell, Coleman, Vellios, Vaughan, Vic, Rooney have all had the talent and have been put in there.

Hopefully both of them make it. I reckon Barkley definitely will, not sure about Vellios but hope he does like. His cameo's have been decent.
 

Is he f***, he was in Nando's today (I work there) being an absolute t*t with his mates. I didn't serve him at all but one of the lads I work with said him and his mates were being annoying 'so and so's', trying to not swear here haha. He seemed pretty quiet from what I saw like, but this lad said he was being annoying. Doesn't really bother me though, if he's got the talent I couldn't care less.

Also I know Barkley's best mate, went to school with him. I asked him about Ross because I too was of the idea that his confidence has probably been shattered, but he told me Ross is fine because he knows Moyes knows what he's doing and he knows his time will come.

I see so many people saying stuff like "Barkley must be so annoyed with Moyes", "Moyes has ruined Barkley" etc etc. No, no he hasn't. Ross is happy at the moment.

His mate also tells me that Vellios is never gonna make it. He said he's not really all that, but Conor McAleny is boss, one of the better ones from our reserves and that we should watch out for him.

Ross gets him into the games for free so he goes to all of our games despite him being a red! Jammy sod.

why does vellios always get picked ahead of and given more first team chances than mcaleny then? is his mate a better manager than moyes?

McAleny is probably better than Vellios, I just can't see Moyes giving them a chance anytime soon. Forshaw, Baxter and Ruddy all got off at youth level and them two will probably do the same.
