Ross Barkley

[Grandmanasty]

Ran the show for Luton today. Barely put a foot wrong.
The sort of player we should have signed but apparently wouldn’t pay the wages for.

 

[Richeee]

Whats the saying? You pay peanuts you get monkeys

 

[FMBlade1]

His wages for a year plus signing on fee would be a quarter of what we paid for Hamer.

And if we did go down still there'd be a minimum fee release clause and we'd get our money back if he had a decent season.

Have been saying it for years we need players with PL experience, Townsend was also decent for them

We went for Tom Davies instead.

Took the piss. I think we made him look good too and they are managing him well aren't they because he's never been the easiest to handle by all accounts...but head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch today.

He didn't do fuck all
Was astonished when he got motm

Can't have a big earner upsetting the pussies in our dressing room

Strolled around like he had the freedom of Sheffied

Barkley & Townsend were ones we should have gone in for... with hindsight.

I doubt at the time there was a huge clamour for them on here. Both were gambles.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Watched on TV, so maybe didn't get the best view, but I didn't see him do owt special.

 

[VLYDONIMIR]

If United should've signed certain players because of their
performances vs SUFC this season, it's not really
a high benchmark to support such a thought.

Whilst this owner is still controlling the film-sets, the standard of actors
are going to be low.

His link up play was exceptional

He didn't. Although as Wilder just said we gave them the result.

Eh?

Thought souza was far more effective personally

 

[Grandmanasty]

Seriously?
I thought Souza had his best game for us but he created little if anything.

I did say the sort of player, not the player.

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

Don’t remember many complaining when we got Hamer. We got McAtee instead, who was just as impressive as Barkley today. Both were good, as was Souza

 

[Bladesman]

Souza, another decent game from him apart from that one bad pass across the middle.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Also, there's very little to suggest we'd have got as much out of them as Luton have.
Under Heckingbottom, we were dire and not one of our players looked up to the level. They'd have had very little platform to showcase their ability.

 

[varkanoid]

Wilder has brought in noticeable change but the speed in which its happening is just too late. By end of season we may look like a bottom end PL team (instead of a half decent champ one) but I think he knows it needs a miracle and its about building the team next season. The points gap is starting to happen. Its not impossible of course but looking less likely. Newcastle had 10 points once at this stage and stayed up but then they had ££££££

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Instead of Ross Barkley we signed Tom Davies. More brilliant transfer activity from our board.

 

[Hamandcheese]

All Luton have really done is sign obvious free transfers. But that was enough to comfortably outperform our recruitment attempts. Barkley is the pick of them, a level above anything we've got, and was always going to be If he stayed fit and tried a bit. Admittedly, there was no clamour from me to sign him. Don't see why we ignored Ogbene though, right under our noses

Barkley was a clever one on their part but for us to miss out on Townshend who was practically begging for someone to sign him was fucking disgraceful

This pre season is probably the worst and most disorganised I can ever remember
Absolutely shambolic and amateurish from start to finish and it's got us to where we are now

Our best player by a good margin

What did barclay create ? They didn't have a shot on target all game

Both were definitely mentioned on here as good signings.

Isn’t he a fast winger? Why would we want one of those?
