Ross Barkley

[neil999]

Proud of you neil

i'll post something weird soon to balance it out

Arteta played right wing for most of his Everton career and was injured for 11 months. far better player than Ross will ever be. He actually knew how to pass which is a minimum requirement for a professional footballer, don't think Ross ever got that memo.

Again, based on what ?? Because he was Spanish ??

I loved Mikel, but we over-rated him.

He was good, but the stats show he was not as good as some say.

Another player who did nothing in big names...

Some of you have clearly forgotten how good arteta was in his pomp

I feel physically sick reading this

I laughed that much, I was nearly sick

When ?? We did nothing, and he didnt drag us to winning anything, or loads of massive games ??

Fiorentina was his shinning moment

Ross is better than Arteta was for us.

Sorry there is no comparison, no matter what the stats say.

Arteta in his prime was a footballing genius.

Ross may go onto to be a very good player, but never a footballing genius.

Oh my word!!!

Footballing genius that played for mid-table prem team, no big club really wanted, and pretty much did nowt when he left!!

Yep, well in mate.

Not sure how what relevance this has to him being a very good footballer

Stats don't show how well you control a football, your reading of the game, your timing of a pass, your range of passing, your game management, the way you can dictate the tempo of a game.

Arteta was streets ahead in all these aspects.

It's too early to be hitting the gear, mate!

He was good, but to say he was good and Ross is not....is a bit daft. Considering Ross has almost been more productive, in half the games.

I think the only valid comparator between Barkley and Arteta is that almost everyone was chocker when he left us, whatever the % split is, that is not the case with Barkley. i dont think Arteta was overrated, he was a very good player, as was Pienaar, as is Barkley, none of them are or ever will be worldclass.

We sold him at the right time after his knee injury.

Arteta will always be remembered as being one of our best ever midfielders, Ross won't mate.

We were incredibly lucky to have Arteta and his missus was stunning too

To have you tell us we 'over rate' a player is the height of irony.

I'm not saying ross is not. I'm saying I reckon I'm their respective times with us, arteta has been the better footballer
