Ross Barkley

[kevdotbadger]

Would you ever imagine anyone would bid 30Mil for Shaw though?

And he is not half the talent Ross is

And Barkley is not half the talent of Ronaldo.

And Barkley is not half the talent of Ronaldo.

and? Not sure what your point is there...

The price comparison between Shaw and Barkley is far more relevant than between Barkley and Ronaldo...

We all know that English players (and particularly YOUNG english players) end up being priced on a completely different scale to almost all other players.

That's why the likes of Shaw went for £30m+ and Adam Lallana went for £25m... while Jordi Alba went for about £12m and Rakitic went for £15m

Eff off city

Daily mirror in ridiculous article shocker (covering all fume bases here)

Jarg story, jarg rumour. Next.

Yeah ok, swapping Barkley for Rodwell will increase City's home grown roster...

Do Mirror Football actually employ any sub-editors?

 

[Seamus Colemole]

"City are aware they need to build up the number of ‘home grown’ players after a summer clear-out that will see Gareth Barry, Joleon Lescott, Micah Richards, Scott Sinclair and, possibly, James Milner leave."

Haha so they try to buy an Englishman to replace them but include getting rid of another Englishman in exchange? That makes no sense.

But either way IM REALLY ANGRY AT MANCHESTER CITY FOOTBALL CLUB FOR WANTING TO BUY AN EVERTON PLAYER.OR THE MIRROR FOR MAKING IT UP WHICHEVER IS RELEVANT.

What a stupid post.

Ronaldo went to Madrid in 2009.

Hilarious story, on so many different levels -

- The idea we'd sell him.
- The idea he'd want to go.
- The idea he's only worth £25m.
- The idea that 'throwing in Jack Rodwell' is supposed to entice us into a deal.

World Cup is definitely nearly over now, isn't it? The papers need to have some stupid story they can write about. Can't do Baines. Can't do Coleman. They'll alternate between Barkley, McCarthy and Stones now. So tedious.

- The idea he's only worth £25m.

Man City have a £49m net transfer limit for this window. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/16/manchester-city-fine-transfer-cap-uefa-ffp
So unless they sell a few players they won't be able to afford him. He'd cost at least £40m if not more and will be worth even more in the future.

See ya Ross.

JUDAS.

 

[mawders]

lazy journalism. I mean, it's just stupid

 

[loooweee]

If this actually has any truth in it, give it the positive Martinez perspective and you see that Man City's lust for Barkley could put Everton off any Man City dealings therefore no possibility of Rodwell returning.

If the world thought we might even consider selling him other clubs would be all over that and offering realistic prices.

 

[Christiffa25]

He won't be going to city for 25M, pathetic story!

Watching more and more of this WC, I fume thinking of how dinausoure hodgson robbed Ross of being a star man.

All these teams that have done well have basically had a No.10 like Ross that has drove at teams, Doing what Ross did for us all season, playing the exact role he did for us!

Think Roy has gotten away lightly for his failings. The one game he did start, Roy switched formations and played him deeper as a 8.

On a plus point, not letting him off the leash has kept him pretty hush hush around the footballing world! BONUS!!

 

[143BLUE]

On a plus point. it would fund a move for Lukaku.
