Not bad odds actually , 15/1 he’ll be playing in the Championship in 18 months.
But even Joey doesn’t think Moyes will relegate us yet.
Barkley scored 4 goals in 13 games for Wednesday before we recalled him. He was only 18 at the time. I'm not sure why this has been remembered as a "terrible" loan.

Worked with a Wednesday fan at the time and they seemed to highly rate him, from memory it was a good loan spell.
Leeds under Warnock where he stuck him on the wing and hardly played him was the issue

Sometimes players require fast tracking. I'd definitely assess where we are in Jan in terms of league position and the injury list with Gana and Ndiaye going to AFCON. Having a bit more depth and a young, hungry talent who is willing to fight and prove himself would probably be a welcome addition to the squad.

Absolutely would not be recalling him so he can just sit on the bench, which is exactly what Moyes would do.
….Warnock says Moyes told him Barkley was a talent but had no responsibility on the pitch. Warnock soon agreed.

Yet he did well at Wednesday prior to that and several months later he was starting games for Everton, playing 34 games that season and scoring 6 goals leading to an England call up.
Maybe says more about Warnock and Moyes.
The Wednesday loan was definitely a success, even the Leeds one was fine, it was a 1 month loan and he started 3 games and came off the bench in the other one. There's just some weird mass misremembering of the whole thing for some reason.
Armstrong needs to keep playing this year. If we think that he can come back here in January and do that then fine, but if he's going to find himself on our bench then it'd be a better decision to let him stay at Preston and develop as much as he can ready for next year.
Whatever is best for Everton.
I think we are struggling in the middle, but Rohl hasn't got a consistent run yet.
Id rather bring him back then have to sign someone that could block his path.

Not for one second should he be brought back.
DM did a great job last season to keep us up easily - time will tell if he is the Manager to take us to the next level - he had more funds than Dyche ever had - I am a little sceptic over his signings Grealish a very good loan deal - Barry a total enigma? - no full backs a no 1 priority last June - a young midfielder with a bad injury record - he may come good - no sale of Dwight McNeill - a record signing of a young fast winger in Dibling cant start a game etc - resigning Gana at the age of 36 years old a gamble etc -
Harrison Armstrong sent out on loan when he was claiming he was impressing him as a manager in training - hence this thread _ I am not anti DM , but results will decide if the new owners keep him not the GOT forum -
The 3 promoted teams strongest for seasons one who has beat us alas they were fortunate in the 2nd half , but it was a defeat -
This season was for DM to push on fans were hoping for top six etc -
10 games in we have stuttered a bit - time will tell - DM has not got protection as he had in his first spell with us a new stadia - new owners = a totally different situation for him as teams above have manages to spend mega money on players - its a hard task for him or any other Manager who comes in with our fair play restrictions that other clubs just seem to get around .... the big 6 in particular ....
Enough already you psychos, let it play out.
…..he was useless out of possession, I recall Martinez told him not to bother. Amazing to think of that today. Possibly the best he ever played was at Luton, maybe the penny dropped and he realised his responsibilities.
