Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Given you just posted "Willock doesn't seem to care" then praised Miggy and Fraser I'd say you started it. 

With the bollox, I mean [emoji38]


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.

Absolutely. 

 

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.

No chance Leicester sell us Tielemans.


Contract expires next year no? Clearly doesn’t want to be there. Better take the highest bidder today or tomorrow and buy someone else than lose him for almost nothing in January/June.

Delle Alli has 37 caps for England. What's your point?

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.

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.

Tell them we'll take Perez back off their hands on loan as well and he can be the emergency back up we need across the front 3.

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.
