stones and barkley

[JLW]

both appear to be surplus to requirements.

would you take either/both of them back?

No and no

 

[Sharpies volley]

There's a reason they're surplus to requirements and that is they're not good enough for the teams they play for, so if we want to continually improve, they won't be good enough for us either.

 

[Blue Shoes]

Bones or starkley?

 

[Groucho]

Some chatter in the press now about Stones being fourth choice and off form at City. Motivated, he could be good. Carlo could do that. If he fancied him it could be viable. He might be cheap.

He’d have to pull his socks up

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

We do need a defender, but I'm not sure Stones would be the one I'd go for

I like Ross as a player, but where would he fit in now we have the new midfield?

Not sure about Ross, we have just started developing the spine of our team and he doesn't appear to have one.

Stones maybe but no to Barkley, let him rot on the bench where he is.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Only things I could say for Ross would be that he would probably be a loan, so wouldn't cost much, and he could possibly play out on the wing if needs be, and he'd certainly be an upgrade over Walcott and possibly Iwobi out there

A middle three of Barkley, Doucoure and Allan would be interesting, but I'm not sure Gomes would deserve to be dropped for Ross at the moment, so basically he'd be swapping the Chelsea bench for the Everton bench, so I don't really see the point

 

[COYB]

Get them back and do what we done to Niasse

Stick them in u23's without a locker, sure Usmanov wouldn't mind
spending his cash like that for bantz.

 

[brian labone]

I am not a fan of stones but I would much rather have him than Tobido after watching him on a few occasions last season.

 

[Marius57]

I'd possibly take stones but barkley can do one. I think Stones has some good capabilities and under the right management where they set up properly, could do well. He wouldn't come back here though.

I envisage barkley ending up at West ham or somewhere. A bit of a jack Wilshire trajectory. Loads of wasted talent. Hope he gets relegated with them.

 

[John from Bootle]

Would defo have Barkley back if the deal was right. We could probably get him for a good price if he really wanted to come back, or maybe on loan. Would be wary about paying full market value for him though.

 

[Martin Alvito]

No reason to revisit players that used us as a stepping stone and moved on.

 

[APN_EFC]

i first said NO, but then Stones on loan why not

 

[Tigger]

Stones yes all day.
