Ross Barkley

....boots, pink plastic boots the lads wear these days really don't help. A young entrepreneur should be looking at this market as it costs millions in wages when highly paid players are out for months on end.

At least it'll kill any transfer speculation from the meeja.

I have the feeling Martinez is pulling a bit of a fast one with this Barkley injury story. Like Big Doug just said the club would know very quickly the extent of the injury if a fracture was suspected. He´ll be out a couple of weeks me thinks, not months.

I agree, I dont think all meets the eye on this. It's a week since he suffered the injury (an injury obvious to no one at the time), he was in the running for a starting place against Norwich up until Friday when he became 'a doubt', but the club aren't sure whether its fractured or not.

With such a prize asset, if he'd been injured after QPR they'd have wasted no time at all getting x-rays done on that foot.

Something doesn't add up.

Cock and bull story this.

Praying he is back to smash the scumbags on their own turf.

He will tear them a new A hole this time.

I expect there is a waiting list at the doctors and he can't be seen until a week Monday at 2.30pm...........

More like he's got no more than a niggle but there's predators in the transfer window and they're taking him out of the reckoning altogether with this measure. I dunno, but something doesn't feel right about it. I dont think we have the full story here.

Nice mid season break for the lad, fresh for the run in and world cup then.

6 weeks out according to the Graun:

EDIT: or rather, they spin it like that. Bobby just mentioned the 6 weeks to refer to Baines's injury.

interesting RM says: "Sometimes if the problem is well settled, they can play straight away. Otherwise they need a couple of weeks or even longer. Leighton's was a bad one, it took six weeks."

Baines was only out for just over 4 weeks, so surely Barkley considering has been injured for a week already its gonna be less than 6 weeks and more 3-4 weeks tops?

Sounds like you were the one doing the spinning.

Dave, I thought it was odd as well. From the game when he was supposed to have been crocked nothing done for a whole week, not even any precautionery measures, makes one wonder. But do not think there is any danger of him leaving TBH.

Yeah, maybe the graun just wanted to gain clicks by sensationalising the headline.

.....there are so many bones in that area that it could be folly to compare one injury with another,
