2017/18 Ross Barkley

[kenada_blue]

I think his biggest asset was the way he could control a ball at his feet running at pace, that was down to him being two footed, it's one of the hardest things to do in the game well, and he can.

But he has not done it as much as he use to, he's got in the habit of ball retention and short neat passing in triangles, which is all very nice, but the way he could take players on with the ball at feet was a major asset and it set him apart from a lot of other young midfielders.

Long long time since he did anything like this.

He's a better now than he was when he scored that goal.

For 3 seasons he's been our main creative player and play maker. Games were always pinned on him and Rom playing well to get us results and goals.

Better than any No10 we signed in the summer.

I slagged the lid off for not being man enough to take the managers criticism on board, but you know what.

The way Koeman is going, bin him now if it made Barkley stay.

 

[Moomin]

Apologise to Ross everyone.

You know who you are.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Think he has to be brought back into the side to help in the relegation fight

Ross is watching Thursday Eastenders.
Getting the accent practice in.

Like he's arsed watching the footy.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

If Barkley's issues are with Koeman, would love to see him go to Bill tomorrow & say if Koeman goes, he'll sign a contract. That would more than pay for Koeman's pay off.

 

[Connor]

Please stay Ross, we desperately need you.

We'll sack bloated head if you promise to stay forever.

 

[kenada_blue]

Don't think I can get over the managers handling of this.

 

[Tramps_mate]

I think him not playing is making people think he's our saviour! He's been cack for too long.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hope we've stopped his medical bills. Caused issues all preseason. Getting paid a bomb for no work. Prick.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Save us Ross Barkley

You're our only hope

 

[kenada_blue]

I think him not playing is making people think he's our saviour! He's been cack for too long.

He's better than the two we've spent £70million on

 

[Professor Toffee]

wonder if hes hanging around the first team?
I assume he isnt but if he's interacting at FF that'd be really good for team morale

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Can't see him wanting to be part of it as it stands currently , January can't come quick enough for him
