Ross Barkley

[Tubey]

The worst possible news I could imagine on the eve of the new season. Anyone but him, seriously. Fully expected him to roar out of the blocks this year.

FFS

One fcking day before the season starts

 

[DanEFC92]

OH FFS.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I did warn you. Stuff like this, bad news = true.

 

[jrj]

Couldnt pick a worse time ffs.

 

[LinekersLegs]

They shouldn't be back too early, Rom's been training at Anderlecht before he came back to us and they've had pretty much two weeks back, they should be able to play an hour at least.

Depends on how well they have been doing in training.

Don't think Barkley's injury should change our plans about whether they feature or if they do how long for. Even if we lost tomorrow it is not like it is a cup final - City lost their first game against Cardiff last year and went on to have a decent season.

 

[riddick]

This is [Poor language removed] brilliant. Absolutely [Poor language removed] brilliant. I mean...LITERALLY the one player that couldnt afford to lose. [Poor language removed] brilliant.

 

[blue4eva77]

You do realize it's been confirmed by the club?

Ohhhh tits. Didnt see that.

Ahhh well, we squad depth. That grade A transfer window will see us through.

 

[tonka1878]

Ah bugger.

 

[CultHero]

Have to question what the [Poor language removed] they've been up to in training for that to happen the day before the season starts.

 

[BluenosePaul]

Its ok lads, we've had a great pre- season. Bobby's got it covered. Hibbert, Osman, Naismith, McGeady all starting tomorrow. In brown shoes we trust!

 

[davek]

Naismith or Osman. FFS.

Just mentally skip ahead to next season and concentrate on taking the piss out of Liverpool.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Poor lad, he would have been so looking forward to the new season, especially playing Arsenal at home.

Hope he has a speedy recovery, at least he's dealt with injuries before so will know the drill.

 

[Fedlingen]

Should play Naismith behind Lukaku, with Mirallas, Pienaar, Atsu or Aids wide. We won't have Barkleys creative drive, but it will have to do
