OFFICIAL - Ross Barkley Signs


Recommended Posts

I'll have some of that.

DJ might go with Rodri instead of Barkley as I imagine he will have worked on Rodri playing off Bothroyd all week in training. Barkley will play some part tonight though.

Quality line up

Everton fan in peace here! Just thought I'd wish you luck with Barkley. He really does look a real prospect. The Rooney comparisons that are put out by the press are slightly disingenuous but the fact remains that he is the most exciting prospect we have had come through the ranks since him. One of his best assets is his range of passing, though occaisonally he can attempt the hollywood ball a little too often. I think a move to a great team such as yourselves will do him a world of wonders as his progress was halted by the leg break he sustained on England duty when he was only 16.

All the best anyway, I lived in Sheffield for a few years and always had a soft spot for you. Much better than those cretinous rape-apologist across the city anyway. Barkley should do well, and I would imagine that as long as we don't sustain any injuries in midfield then the deal will be extended beyond the initial month. After we missed out on Vadis we have been left a little short. The only advice I would give is to not fall into the hole that some of our fans have done and expect him to beat three men and smash it into the top corner every time he gets the ball. He's a prospect, but needs time to develop.

I'm going for something totally different.....

.....................Kirkland

Buxton.....Taylor......Llera.....Mattock

..............Semedo...McCabe

Antonio..........Barkley..............JJ

.....................Bothroyd

As has been said, difficult to leave Rodri out but what a problem to have :biggrin:

What if Semedo is dropped and we have McCabe and Barkley in the middle? JJ and Antonio out wide? I know he is a fans favourite and maybe we won't see this done until saturday but McCabe and Barkley in the middle is a potential premier league centre midfield partnership

Rodri needs to pay with either Semedo or McCabe on the bench to start.

Superb post, mate. Welcome to the board.

I'd have never ever thought id see the day we were signing players such as Barkley, Rodri, Bothroyd, McCabe and Antonio. Awesome signing, thank you Dave Jones, Mandaric and Aldridge for getting these players.

Lets hope some of our fanbase dont forget this if we do have a rough patch this season (which we wont :-)
