I've never been much of a Ross Barkley fan and that article skims over the reasons why he ended up in Luton in the first place - was his first spell with us even mentioned? But when he's getting regular minutes he has proven a decent squad option for us. He does have a goal in him, very good in the air and a good strike on the ball. He has looked increasingly sharp when coming on, even at Liverpool I thought he looked decent. Good job he's back in the Europa league squad as he will get plenty of minutes there.

He's always had plenty of talent. Fit, alcohol free and focused and he might surprise a few this season.

He was blowing within minutes of being on the pitch and continued to be sucking in great gulps of air.
Great finish though.

Probably explains the "blowing" comments.

Yeah, if he’s got asthma then potentially caught COVID it’d easily explain it. I was fucked for years after getting that, it’s only been in the last 12 months that my breathing has got back to something close to normal.

Comes across as a decent chap in that interview. Hope he stays with us for a while longer.
