Barkley

[Deino]

Are you talking about the Mikel-treatment?

Haha but Barkley suits that way more than Mikel did

 

[zolawannabe25]

Good player but other than he's English I don't see what he offers that Oscar didn't? Not effective enough to be a number 10 yet not tactically sound for a dm. He's probably best suited for a box to box midfield role in a midfield 3. But again I'd say Loftus Cheek is as well and if he was given the chances barkley has had I don't see the difference. 

 

[Geert The Flyer]

From what I've seen RLC is bang average as well. And way to selfish, trying to do everything himself. I still think a Barkley move would not be a bad deal.

 

[dansubrosa]

Koeman said Barkley is 100% gone.

 

[doctorblue]

Stoke will be happy...

 

[TheChelseaBlues]

I don't think Stoke are ponying up the 50m Everton want for him

 

[ForeverCarefree]

I'd probably take him as a replacement for Matic.

With Bakayoko we have two quality, defensive minded midfielders. Barkley could offer something different and be an option for a three man midfield.

 

[OverAndOut]

Don't want the overhyped piece of tosh anywhere near the club. His workrate and drive is as poor as Lukaku's.

 

[All Barco no bite]

Should probably go to City, pretty much everything they strive to sign. English. Attacking midfielder. Average.

 

[evissy]

In my opinion very overrated, like many english-born players. Over-priced probably as well.

 

[startedwithglenn]

I've always liked him and think with the right coach he would turn into a quality player.

I think Conte would get a lot out of him. I think Pochettino would be great for him as well.

Agree with this. He deff needs to buckle down but has bags of talent . Would benefit from playing with other top players

 

[dansubrosa]

I hope he doesn't go to Spurs, I can see Poch getting the most out of him. There clearly is a great player in him, he just needs the right manager to get it out of him.

I wouldn't be against signing him if it's not expensive and at the very worst he'd be a squad player. I don't really see the harm.

 

[jack_super_class]

I think he should stay where he is.

 

[doctorblue]

I think we should negotiate for him right up to midnight on the final transfer window day and then pour champagne all over our fax machine and leave Eversh*te to stew in their greedy arse pit of gluttony...!!

if he's anything below 50m they won't sign him ha! 

 

[Davey Baby]

Apparently he's agreed terms with Spurs and he's due to have his medical.

In other words, he's ours.

 

[cwnorth]

Needs to start making the right decision a bit more on the pitch. That will come he is young. Seems to get a bit of stick from the Evertonians from time to time. Maybe needs to be learned and appreciated a bit more. He is English. That is good. I would like him. But i would not go ott with the transfer fee though.

Seriously, what's with the Everton hate? Seems extreme 

 

[Delnino]

Barkley isnt good enough for us.

Hes no better than any of our CMs because hes not played there neough by Everton.

Hes no better than ay winger we have because hes not a winger but has played wide for Everton.

He'd be our 3rd best #10, which is his natural position I feel but we dont play with a #10 anymore.

He cant play WB at all.

So in short, theres nowhere currently for Barkley to play in our system, I also think hes worth about 25m with only 12months n his contract left.
