Ross Barkley

got another rimming on motd2 tonight, swear the hype could overtake what rooney got all those years ago.

If he has a half decent World Cup, I expect the 'Barkley needs to be playing CL football for the good of the England team' bandwagon (i.e. 'He must leave Everton') to go into overdrive, as it did with Rooney after Euro 2004.

We need to get Barkley on a new contract BEFORE the World Cup.
 

love that stance. if Ross were twenty yards ahead of me to my right, Martinez same to my left, i'd look like Famous Seamus after the Oviedo goal at Old Trafford trying to figure out who to rush and tackle.
 
Have you ever seen one of those SSN interview things with the fans on deadline day on one of those sh*t manufactured occasions? You know when they cut to the random skinhead lad who responds to the question with a 'lad-per-sentence' ratio of 3:1? Ross is that lad.

He's had no media training. He just isn't used to being in front of the camera and, much like Rooney at his age, isn't that comfortable there.

Haha so true. He looks chuffed when he gets a sentence out. He's scared senseless being interviewed.
 
The NZ Herald (NZ's biggest paper) leads it's football story with the headline "Abedayor brace lifts Spurs". Then comments : A sixth away win f the campaign (the EPL's best away record), moved Spurs four points from Fourth place where Everton currently sit. Everton's stay in fourth won't last long if Chelsea win at third place Arsenal"...then a lot of blah, blah, blah about the Spurs game

Unbelievable

The thing is with the Rooney situation I can kind of understand what they were saying at the time. We were still pretty ****zer at the time. It didn't look like even with Rooney we'd be getting anywhere near the top half, never mind the CL. We were also skint!

We are a top 4 contenders currently. We have the cash from recent sales, the new tv money, which unlike others we have not already spunked! And whilst that doesn't leave us rich, we should at least be comftabale currently.

The likes of ronaldo would always be on course to leave for a Real Madrid etc because that's the pinnacle, the dream for those players. Every Portuguese player wants to play for Real Madrid. Every young scouser, ideally would like to win everything with Everton or Liverpool.

IMO its all about whether Everton can keep challanging enough, showing ambition and picking up some trophies along the way to keep Ross. Much like Liverpool did with Gerrard. Either way he'll be here a fair few years yet, hopefully a very long time!

My ultimate dream is to see Barkley playing in the same EFC team as Rooney. That would be special.
