Barkley..again

[markDee]

I made a thread last year asking if you would have him back, what’s your opinion now?

He’s had a great season at Luton, would walk into our team in my opinion. I also want James back so maybe I’m just bored of no skill in the team.

Utftt

Not sure why a player like Barkers - who can clearly run a PL game even within the confines of a pony outfit like Luton - is shunned by some.

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

BARKERS.

30th thread this season about having Barkley back.

No.

And not just because he's a rat who sold us down the river and made continual snidey digs...

He had a good spell under us when he was given a largely free role under Martinez.

He's only had that role since, for 26 point Luton Town.

You have to be a brilliant player to afford that luxury of "just play" - and he isn't good enough.

He's 30 - looking for his last pay day.

He hasn't played the same role for Luton

What a spot on post.

 

[MisterJ]

No. Again this is the kind of sentimentality that holds us back.

He was here, he had his chance, now he's gone

We need to get over this kind of thinking if we're going to improve as a side.

By free role I mean freedom/just allowed to play.

Martinez is on record as saying that's how he got the best out of Barkley.

Luton's Manager said the same about him - only difference is he's done it from deeper to allow Barkley to get on the ball because otherwise he wouldn't.

This all day long. We need to move on.

Martinez is a moron, Barkley is at his best as first receiver which he plays for Luton. His defensive stats are also solid and an indication its not a free role

 

[allen]

No, and I don’t think there’s any danger of it happening, either.

No one at Everton remembers him. Except maybe Coleman and a disinterested Moshiri who’s busy waddling off into the sunset.

 

[Cels]

Yes. We would have beaten Arsenal today with Ross Barkley bossing the midfield.

 

[Goat]

No.
