Thumbheed Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Ross Barkley is this decades Andy Carroll, minus the injuries; rated throughout his entire career without actuslly doing anything of note outside his boyhood club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Ross Barkley has played for England at every age category, including 33 caps for the senior team. People are quick to jump on these things and claim he's shite because he hasn't played regularly for Chelsea. Utter bollocks! He's never been shite and probably isn't shite now. What teams need to know is does he still have the ambition and hunger he used to have. If he does, he'd be a decent signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Got to be one of 3 for Tielmans. Newcastle Liverpool Aresnal You'd imagine he'd choose either of them over us what with them both having European football and probably going straight into Liverpools team due to injuries they have.

With the bollox, I mean Yeah don’t see how that is bollocks. You can disagree if you want to, (plenty on here will agree with that) but enlighten me as to why. I’m not a big fan of stastical sites and for me he doesn’t pass the eye test. However, if we would take sofascore as an example he’s been our worst performer from midfield and attack in 3 out of 4 PL matches this season. And I wasn’t praising the other two prr se. They’re very limited both of them, but as of today I have more faith in both than Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good injury record and at 25 he is right at the start of what should be his peak years. One for now certainly but has enough quality to be here for many future seasons also.

The Prophet Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I think Tielemans will still end up at Arsenal. It seems like they've just been waiting to pull the trigger for weeks to get the lowest possible price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What teams need to know is does he still have the ambition and hunger he used to have. If he does, he'd be a decent signing. He last won a cap over three years ago. A transfer to Villa didn’t occur because of how he played there on loan (shite). He hasn’t been selected for Chelsea, seemingly because he simply wasn’t good enough. At coming up to 29, sadly, he’s seemingly done man. We’re not the club to resurrect his career. Being given away by Chelsea, he should be being snapped up by a lower PL team hoping to hit lucky, or a good championship team even, but even that’s not currently happening. I can see the likes of Rangers taking a punt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 This is all coming from that Talbot guy, who I’m not sure is even a journalist. Would be another massive statement of intent but don’t see it at all. I think a loan is the best we can expect before the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 22 minutes ago, Flip said: You are telling me he’d be better than Bruno by far? 29 years old in December and still considered a talent. gtfo I'm talking about the no doubt unrealistic scenario whereby someone is able to fix his mind and/or body to get him to play to the potential that he showed when a youngster. If so, he'd not just be better than Bruno, he'd be better than practically every other midfield player in the Premiership. This lad had the lot, and he was widely tipped by many in the game to be an all-time great. He was playing for Everton at 17, he was the best player in their side at 21, and he's won 33 England caps. He may be the midfield equivalent of Micah Richards as a defender - someone with so much talent that they didn't need to apply themselves properly, and then got found out. Too much too soon, perhaps.

And he was class for pretty much all of those England appearances! But, Alli has visibly been on the decline for years, has always been a shit trainer and was given a chance to revive his career last season. He couldn't be arsed. Barkley hasn't yet shown that he's lost the hunger, so until he does you can't/shouldn't tar them with the same brush. He may well prove that he is another Delle Alli but just making the assumption because they're a similar age and their circumstances are similar is harsh. By the way, i'm not suggesting we sign him at all, I just think the blanket assumption that he's now shit and is after a last big payday is an easy one to make with no justification....yet.

Who cares how good he was for England 4 years ago? It's about who he is now, and nobody knows because he hasn't played for two tears. I get what you're saying and if we signed him I'd be more than happy to trust Howe, but until somebody with any authority gives us something else we can only go on what we've witnessed, which is very little.
