Ross Barkley

[Prevenger17]

Well, this Barkley situation has proven once and for all that we can reach RAWK levels of meltdown with the right conditions. I'm fine with Naismith playing behind Lukaku.

It's amazing that Osman and Naismith will both be starting the first game of this season.

If Coleman's not fit either, Leicester should be feeling right at home.

 

[roydo]

If true, and it is looking that way with O Keefe, last season, we were not a one man team.

And we wont be this year.

 

[bluelife]

Not the end of the world but awful news

 

[Muggins]

Pinning all our hopes on one player is a bit naive.

Two would be sensible.

 

[Prevenger17]

The ECHO understands the incident could actually have been worse, with the starlet - who only signed a new five-year deal just over a fortnight ago - narrowly avoiding an injury that could have wrecked the first half of his campaign.

Doesn't sound like it.

Out of interest, what do you think it sounds like?

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Is it me or do these types of kicks in the gonads never seem to affect our loveable Scandinavian neighbours?

 

[TrixyStevens]

I'm sure the little scamp had something to do with this.

 

[toffeejack]

can still play something lika

McGeady Mirallas Atsu behind lukaku

 

[COYB]

does this mean the Isco loan is back on now?

FFS... not even time to be joking i really do deserve the negz for this

 

[meagher94]

Please let Rom and Kev start.

Lukaku
McGeady Naismith Mirallas​

That I can definitely live with.

Well they spent £27m on Lallana who will be injured for a similar amount of time.

He's neither as good nor as important to them as Barkley is to us, but still.

 

[Boss_Blue]

Chill Naismith's got this...

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

Given we've increased the size of our squad, especially in midfield, don't think it will be a huge miss tbh, had it been lukaku we would have been much worse off. Not seen too much of him in pre season but was he actually like in peak condition ready to go tomorrow? Doubt it

Can we push Besic forward? deffo has the skill and passing ability for it.
