Ross Barkley

Petrov in his prime is one of the best I've seen , unbelievable player, then Barry came very very close. Tielemans will potentially go into the same bracket.

Being able to rotate Barkley and Tielemans should mean they can play full tilt for the whole season and therefore avoid the drop off Luiz had after Christmas.

The crucial bit to actually improve the team is to buy a Kamara replacement.

Please stop.

Petrov had one good game in the position we signed him for, his debut at West Ham, then reinvented himself 12 months later as a deep lying midfielder. Good player, not as good as Barry or Luiz. Missed him hugely after he became ill.

I guess he's comparable to Luiz in that in took them both a good bit of time to settle in. Seem to recall Petrov taking a bit of grief from the crowd for a while. Petrov was a fine player, from memory better in a midfield three with the likes of Barry. Good presence about him. But I think we are forgetting how good of a midfielder Luiz was for us, his playmaking ability was/is elite.

Barry was the best of the three for me

From the minute he walked into the team at 17. Could play anywhere and was still brilliant when he rest of the team were shite.

Twat in the end though.

He’s not the only great player who ended up being a twat in the end

I wouldn't talk to LeeB like that if I were you. He has caravans...

H&V's own Leo DiCaprio reckons LeeB looks like Brad Pitt. What a pair of lucky bastards!

Tbf to him judging by what he was witnessing with O’Neills archaic management and coaching and teammates who were happy to do enough for 6th but no more I can’t say I blame him for wanting out.

Yes that's a fair point.

Agree Petrov was decent but he did play next to Barry and then Milner who both excellent in those seasons.
