Ross Barkley on the bench

[Matt Damon]

The fact he's an U19 international shows he's got some promise following Rodwell's example.

Really?

He's just broke his leg in two places.

shame, that. im still upset he isnt in fifa, though

So much for that career. Here's to hoping both he and Rodders are still something to bet a bright career on as they come back from their injuries.

I was told that JPK can't find a club and is starting on the cabs in liverpool.

yea i saw that news earlier - really is a shocker.

other notable injuries that slowed development were to ossie (who joe cole described before his injury as the most skillful player he has ever played alongside) and seamus coleman.

it looks like coleman has done ok from it but ossie lost his pace and although hes been a good player for us could have been sensational.

Awfull news gutted for the lad himself. Hopefully Everton show him the support he needs and to create a sense of loayalty for years to come.

Lucky for him he was playing for the U19s, we might have told him to run it off.....
