Ross Barkley

[Rodley]

He's hardly kicked a ball for ages. Funny that he was only fit for Luton's season in the premier league, on low wages, now once he got his big wages at Villa, injured again

Una Emery said this at the end of November:-

““I don’t know exactly how long Ross Barkley is out for but maybe eight, to 10, 12 weeks. Maybe a little less.”.

He could be fit sooner than some envisage. Well worth a punt.

Regarding Tom Davies if he wasn’t a crock he wouldn’t have signed for us he’d still be playing in the Premier League and because he is a a crock he occasionally plays for us,

A fully fit Barkley would be our best midfielder by some distance. Always looked comfortable in the Prem when fit whether with Everton, Chelsea, Luton or Villa.

Only question is whether he would be able to get fully fit for remainder of the season.

 

[Boxer Blade]

He hasn't played in the Championship since 2013

Is that a good thing or a bad thing

It was in response to the comment saying he'd been the best player in the Championship for Luton.

Personally, not ITK, I don't think he'll drop down. Last time he was struggling for games in the PL, he went to the French top league instead.

You don't start making direct inquiries unless you've been given some encouragement that the player would consider a move. I think he'll get better offers potentially but I think he must've already given word he'd be prepared to drop down.

I apologise,it was in the premiership season when we were in,I think . Thought he was a standout player throughout.

Sorry, wasn't meaning to be a dick about it.

I was very much against United signing him at the start of that PL season but I was completely wring, he was excellent

I haven’t kept track of him much since 23-24 ,he made a mistake and went to Villa (money), as you say he hasn’t played much,he has not kicked on as forecast.

Yeah,thanks,I know that,I don’t mind being corrected. As I just commented,he’s not kicked on.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Pay him massive wages to get him back fit so villa can flog him in the summer… right

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Nah surely not!

He stinks of Wrexham on loan - not us

 

[Houston_Blade]

Can’t we try the pig approach and just plead poverty and ask Villa to pay his wages while he plays for us?

 

[Melbourne Blade]

No chance this is happening. Happy to eat humble pie if it does. He was my favourite EPL player in Luton's premier league season. Absolutely took the p1ss even against sides like Liverpool where he ran the show.

Sounds like he's out until mid to late Feb anyway.

Many a true word……….
