Ross Barkley

[jwarry]

Hypothetically we might need to sacrifice Ramsey next summer in order to comply with FFP\PSR but there’s a good chance Rogers and Illing will be established PL/CL players by that point.

I doubt that will be the case, I'm more concerned about JJ coming back 100% at the start of the season.

A 100% JJ would be like a new signing

If we sign Barkley, he has a massive opportunity to achieve what he couldn't at Chelsea. He's a very good player, all down to mindset and application now plus working with the best coach of his career now.

That's quite a turnaround from someone who was adamant that Barkley was just paper talk and who didn't want us to sign him.

We’re all allowed to change our minds right?

We'd have probably won a trophy if the Barkley of last season was able to step in as cover for Luiz when needed. See the same for cover for Kamara too with Enzo Barracuda.

You used to be indecisive, now you’re not so sure.

Edited because someone was quicker than me...

Barkley's clear skill and experience matched with SUE's coaching and tactics could just be the signing of the season. He was really lauded for his efforts at Luton

Really looking forward to seeing him again.

Me too.  I also think that's because over time, the memories of his meandering midfield performances for us have faded, while the memories of his positive contributions, such as in Liverpool's hammering, and his last-minute winner away at Leicester, still burn pretty bright.

He's obviously not a long-term signing, but if he can play even a medium-sized part in helping us consolidate as a top-four side in the next two years, then he'll be worth every penny.

[Risso]

As long as he doesn't get the arse again if he's subbed/not first choice. He's going to find Champions League Aston Villa are an extremely different proposition to relegated Luton.

The volleyed cross onto Watkins nut at the Emirates remains probably the best cross I've ever seen.

He will, you just know it.

whilst i'm happy with our transfer dealings so far i still think Barkley is a mistake but not a big one so i'm not overly concerned
