And so it begins...

This is where it shows how FFP is working in restricting us. The sensible move for us would be to buy him this summer and then loan him back so he gets another full season of football to carry on developing. But we have spent all our allowed amount and I really don't think we will generate anything near enough with the players we sell so we will have to wait until next summer. And if he has a brilliant season we could face paying twice what he would go for now and also face competition from every other club.

Barkley has so much potential, if he lives up to this potential then he's worth every penny, risk well worth taking imo
I coulnt agree more. I'd be sorry to see milner go and to give up on rodwell, but barkley looks like the real deal. Stood out like a sore thumb against us and not just the goal. If we can make it happen then we've got to go for it!
 
Where's all the Barkley talk come from?? Hopefully not The Mirror or Star...
 
The only issue I have with Barkley is that last season was his only season if top flight football and whilst he showed glimpes of brilliance, they only really happened on a once a month basis.

Unless we are willing to play him every week I don't see him developing into the player we want him to become.

I think Everton could get £40m for him based on potential but I don't see that rising too much from now until next summer, he would have to have a Luis Suarez or Yaya Toure type season to get that price to rise if you ask me.

To be honest I think we might see a second season loss of form from him next season just as we have seen with plenty of young players with him coming back better the season after next, but we will see.

I think him and Pogba will be our biggest targets next summer.

Two in a week, hoping to complete my hat-trick:)

Welcome Mrs Mangle's son!

He has turned down an offer from United to match the fee and package.

Not been on for a couple of days so missed a bit....
Looks like mangala is one.
Who was the other?
Who turned the rags down?

Cheers.
