Ross Barkley

Quality that he's been called up, not arsed about if clubs start coming in for him - can't see us letting him go for anything less than a crazy bid. Our Ross is more important than Fellaini.
 
I find it amazing that people can read about our best young player being called up for their national team, and their first instinct is to try and find the negative. And it seems the only negative they can make up is that someone from a richer club may tap them up.
Out of interest, has the weather been bad in Liverpool? I can't think of any other reason why so many people are so hellbent on being miserable.
 
I think we'll find many more u21s being called up to the senior squad from now on under Hodgson-Southgate
Every game will give exposure to the younger talents by letting them train with the seniors, while this will also encourage players to take u21 football seriously.
Don't read too much into the Barkley call up, it was going to happen at some stage this season. Next England squad it will likely be other youngsters.

There is always a negative attached to being called up for England when that player is not connected to Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea and the other rich clubs. Firstly, the media start the sequence of events stating that he should be playing for a bigger club. Secondly, England training camp is probably the worse place to be for tapping up players. Barkley is now going to be exposed to all the egos flashing there pay packets about and his head could easily be turned. Remember the EPL is a nursery for these rich clubs to take the talent when they want. Until Everton are taken over by a billionaire we are a feeder club. We cannot compete therefore we have to bend over and take it. Barkley will be gone if any of those teams want him. Now thats why there is negativity with every positive with regards to Evertonians.

You don't get it mate.
 
I'm happy for the lad but let's get real this is far tpp premature in his career, he's less than a handful of top flight games now he has all this added pressure as well. No wonder most of our kids fade away they aren't allowed to develop in the right time frame we push them too much.

However having said that...GET IN ROSS LAD!!

You forgot to mention that England are an impossibly sh*t national side and i'd rather Ross cement himself with Everton before getting sawn in half by some Ukrainian bruiser in a pointless friendly.
 

Jonjo tic tac head proved that an England call up is no sign of quality so I'm not worried about this, seems to be hodgsons way, having said that Ross has the ability to take the piss in training and MOTM the match, so I'm sure the daily mail will be pushing for a move before long
 
Arr well bye bye Barkley. He'll go to the camp and have Gerrard and Rooney whispering in his ear to leave, just like Gerrard, lam pars and co did to Rooney
