Guest Scummyblades Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ross Barkley is no doubt a talented lad but Wednesday couldn't win with him in the team, been looking at scummy leeds form with him in the team they not won once, why do you think such a talent can't impact a team which he's clearly too good for??

Bluesteel Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think he has still been Leeds' best player. They have other issues such as losing becchio and having very little pace. One thing with Barkley is that he doesn't offer much defensively but they have used him out wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest silvergusy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's difficult to answer this one, we also struggled results wise when he was ith us and Leeds appear to be doing the same although i don't think it's just down to him. My personal view on it is you cannot have a 'luxury' type player playing in such a position of responsibility like CM. His all round game isn't mature enough yet to play there at this level, but when it is i think he will be a special player. i could be wrong but thats my take on Barkley.

theowlsman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Nothing to do with Barkley, but I looked at Leeds' team yesterday and honestly believe that our current first XI is better than theirs. I can see us overtaking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 In general players are only as good as the players they play with. Barkley is a talent with great potential but he needs others to make him shine on a regular basis as much as he can do this himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 He reminds me of a young scholes, put him in a well functioning midfield as a purely attacking player and he will be superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sweet&TenderOwl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) He's got ability but he's too much of a luxury player to be played in a Championship midfield. Perhaps he should be played in a striker role? Like the wise old theowlsman said, I too can now see us overtaking Leeds. Can even see Warnock being replaced at the end of the season because I don't think they'll make the play-offs. It's good to see us marching on and the likes of Warnock and Leeds doing the opposite.

s29wfc Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 He missed a sitter yesterday. Big mistake playing him right wing though, Especially as Brown and Austin are the 2 in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bigals Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Barkley or Pugh On yesterdays performances I think Pugh is much the better deal...........I only saw Leeds on telly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllieOwl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I have two mates who support le*ds and he says Barkleys their best player, and looks to be the onlyoe that tries haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womble Owl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Im glad we didnt get him back. For me when he was with us there was too much emphasis on him, the style we played we played it to suit him, and he's not good enough to be able to do that with yet.

bigash_swfc Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think Barkley is a bad signing for anyone right now....no doubt he's talented, but his style of play requires him to be on the ball more than others with his "look at me, see how good I am style". Not the greatest team player I've seen and because of his age, he'll make some costly mistakes while learning his trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
