Alberto2005 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We've literally got Anderson who is a similar mould of player, why sign a past it Barkley when we can nurture Anderson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s neither, more wishful thinking on my part anyway, if we are struggling to bring in anyone half decent in that area before the window shuts.

That's such a big if though. Something has gone seriously wrong with his career, but if anyone can, Eddie can. (new catchphrase, possibly) You are telling me he’d be better than Bruno by far? 29 years old in December and still considered a talent. gtfo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Barkley is 28, been at Chelsea for four years, and been shite for the vast majority of that time. To say he would be our best midfielder if he hit his dizzying heights of four/five years ago is pretty fanciful, to say the least. We have neither the time, nor the necessity to try and rebuild shattered careers. As with Dele Alli, I hope we stay well away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Barkley would be a bad move on any kind of deal. He was a prospect, but he never made good on his potential and it's what 5/6 years (longer?) since he turned in any consistent performances. People forget he was out of favour at Everton before he joined Chelsea. It also would send the wrong messages to players like Anderson. He's a scouse Jack Wiltshire basically.

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...
