Ross Barkley

Im thinking Zidane.

I don't even think even that comparison is out of reach, to be honest.

It just about sums up the absurd like circus nature of modern English football when a young lad has a half decent season and people ask themselves in all seriousness if he will chose money over loyalty to his current club. When I watch Ross Barkley in a blue shirt I see room for masses of improvement in all area's of his game. His final ball is all too brutish when a simple straight forward deft touch would unlock that waiting glory. He labours all too often when on the ball and is easily disarmed. He has a long way to go in my eyes before being put on a pedestal

Indeed.

What it does is reveal the utterly scarce amount of talented skillful English players, for when one comes along, like you say, he's raved as the next Gazza (next Ballack even according to our own manager).


Ross convinced me of his great potential as recently as the Arsenal game, but he does have to improve a lot still.

whoever the talksport presenters were last night they had it bang on

talking about a ross to man u for a cash plus cleverley deal

they said it would be far better for ross to stay where he is, playing for a team who are gonna bring you along correctly, play you when you're fit and itching to play, rest you when you require a rest, and giving you the freedom to express yourself on the pitch

they summed it up as a very creative footballer playing under one of the prem's most creative managers

was so respectful of what Martinez has done so far, but a bit of a slight at Moyes too, in terms of Ross's development anyway

stay where you are Ross

Of course he will stay. It is up to everyone at Everton to make sure that Everton as a club find a way of making constant progress towards giving top players the achievements they crave. We must do this or die trying. I am just watching Liverpool frankly destroy Tottenham at White Hart Lane, everyone connected to Everton must use this as fuel for the fire to drive on and make sure one of the top CL positions are ours.

You have to say that's tempting. I fear January will see David Moyes in irrepressible form, offering some very powerful arguments

What are you on about you crazy fool. Did you even read that load of shiit?

 

[Vaughan]

just dont see why he'd go to a manager who never played him

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Cleverly is plop

 

[Ameen]

He is and will be our greatest asset, Martinez should build the team around him for the next 5-10 years

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

His potential is limitless tho.

Hes clearly not even close to the finished article, but when he is, hes gonna be a superstar.

You're very quotable today....

 

[Steve Wigan]

When he takes the piss in Brazil and the oil money clubs take notice, be afraid!!!!!!

But to be fair it would take a silly, silly amount of money to even prick Bills ears, your talking 40m+.

Thats an interesting comment about Bill. The usual suspects will never change their tune, and I don't think that will ever change, because every supporters group in the league will have some sort of arguable grouse against the chairman/board, but I do think he played a blinder over Fellaini and I'm beginning to wonder if somehow Martinez has given Bill some new found confidence, and extra ambition. We shall see in January.

Anyone asking £150M for a business they bought for £20M and have left to rot financially, is not short of confidence.
