do people not realise the main reason behind tottenham and chelseas interest is that he counts as a homegrown player?
Do you honestly think chelsea spent £35 mill on danny f'n drinkwater for any other reason?
Yeah mate I think you have nailed it, let' hòpe we can get a good fee
 
Him leaving on the cheap would be such an insult to the club after turning down Chelsea at £35m on deadline day.

Hope he can prove everyone wrong and stay.

It should be remembered that Barkley and his team say this never happened. No one at Chelsea has ever commented on it either. It’s literally Moshiri v Barkley with regard to whome you believe and Mosh has a bit of a history of blagging after his McCarthy comments.

Mate blagging to save face and completely making up a story are two different things. Whatwpuld he have to gain by pretending Barkley went to Chelsea?
 
Barkley can be a Beast a counter attacking side, which is what we are now. He doesn't fit as well in a possession based side because he still takes a little too long on the ball and his football IQ isn't on the level of rooney but he would be terrifying for r opponents in big Sam's system of getting it up the pitch quickly. He could play deeper and link defense to attack with the ball or be an outlet for long balls. He's all action and he'd be perfect for us right now.

Come on Roscoe see the light

Lookm at the form and how finished some players looked under Koeman, look at them now they have had things 'simplified' - Rooney and Williams probably being the 2 most stand-out cases, although same could be argued for Gueye - who is now looking tremendous now he has a clearly defined job to do rather than roaming all over the place.

I actually think Barkley isn't the most 'intelligent' playuer in terms of grasping the intricacies of the game etc, so what you need is someone who just breaks it down to the simplest terms for him, think both prior managers have actually tried to turn him into something he will never be - a clever all round play-maker type, the reality is he is what he is - a player who in the correct system can be better than anything we are capable of going out and buying.
 

Well, he won't because he's off.

But if he wasn't, you can't really argue that Barkley offers more than Sigurdsson does.

What is this mythical nonsense around Ross Barkley?

He had half a good season and was utter garbage for the other half.

He scored a totally amazing 5 goals and had less assists than the likes of Joe Allen at Stoke.

Wish people would stop making him out to be better than he actually is just because he’s currently unavailable.

He’s decent that’s it and very easily replaced.

He has shown glimpses of brilliance in his career but it is very few and far between.

Yes he may go to spurs or Chelsea but so what? Doesn’t mean he’s nailed on to start for either side.

Read over the thread because it's tiresome repeating how much of a key player he's been for us.
