Depends on the price, for me. 30-40m, absolutlely not. If we were talking 10-15m, i'd be interested. But my preference would be for a Baker or a RLC or someone to have that position going forward.

Allegedly Tottenham are favourites to sign him... Not sure how Levy will get on negotiating with Everton who are almost as stubborn as he is. 

Personally I think we should avoid dealing with Everton, we've had no joy with them the last couple of times and came out of it looking the worse for it.

Chelsea will probably match Tottenham's bid but offer Barkley higher wages 

 
Yeah, I'd rather see us give the youth a chance. Barkley seemed to have massive potential only a few years ago but now he seems to have stagnated and I can't see him getting much better.

Hopefully we don't need to worry about signing English players because we have plenty.

 
Don't see what all the fuss is about Barkley...he's bang average and destined to dwell in mid-table mediocrity for all his career...next...might be in a minority of one but I feel Jack Wilshere might be worth a punt is he's cheap enough...

Agreed.  If we are going to sign an Englishman from a PL team, I'd rather it was Ox.

I agree and have said this for a while. If Wilshere's game time is managed correctly he could do a job for us 10-15 games a year and he's a cracking player. Good squad depth plus he'll be cheap and is a HG option, should be all over it rather than spending 25-30m on Ross Barkley...

 
I don't think even our medical team could keep Wilshere off the physio's table.

 
For a number 10 he is too big and bulky. Rather we gave Boga and Musonda a chance than buy this guy. I prefer number 10's to be like Hazard and Willian, small, quick and elusive players.

 
Barkley is a CM/DM. His quality suits that way more than being an AM or No. 10. They should have worked on his positioning and vision to further improve him instead of letting him play No. 10 when he was younger

Lol. I thought this was a spot on comment about Barkley beign bang average. Then you threw in another bang average midfielder as an alternative!
