Ross Barkley

[Tramps_mate]

He's overrated any way......

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Is it me or do these types of kicks in the gonads never seem to affect our loveable Scandinavian neighbours?

Talking to a kopite just now about this and his comeback was "yeah, well we were without Suarez for like the first 5 games last season"

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Well they spent £27m on Lallana who will be injured for a similar amount of time.

He's neither as good nor as important to them as Barkley is to us, but still.

they've got about 27 other attacking midfielders to cover though

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

Annoyed he'll miss the derby but give me the choice of us not having ross and them not having rat, I'll take that whilst ross is still getting to his potential

 

[Tree13]

Pienaar, Mirallas, Osman and Naismith can all play there. The depth might not be fantastic, but at least it's there.

 

[BluenosePaul]

can still play something lika

McGeady Mirallas Atsu behind lukaku

Mirallas + Atsu who have player 0 mins of pre-season footy?

It'll be Osman + Naismith and you know it!

Take your point on Lallana mate,but its the equivalent to us of Canibal Lecter last season,or Stevie Me getting a bad one.

Mirallas played in a behind closed doors game against Sheffield Wednesday.

 

[CultHero]

Out of interest, what do you think it sounds like?

Doesn't sound like it was an injury naturally occurred during a normal training session.. "narrowly avoiding an injury that could have wrecked the first half of his campaign".. You don't pull a muscle & think thank **** I didn't snap me leg.
