Ross Barkley

[Ray78]

You can quote me on this TH and I am not on some fishing trip or wind up, but if he matches what Michael Ballack has achieved in his career then I will eat my undies. Up until the QPR game he has hardly been in sparkling form.

He's only been back a month from injury.

And if he ends up half the player Ballack was, he will still be worth every penny.

As it is, Ballack was also pure raw potential until he left Leverkusen, Champions League Final or not.

Barkley is the stand out signing in world football for City at present, with regards actual attainability.

You can thank me in ten years;)

Sorry TH there is too much hype surrounding the kid and there is always the danger he can break down through injury at any time. And with what Everton are asking for the player it is too much as a risk. Same with Raheem Sterling I don't see what the fuss is with him either.

I thought he was fantastic when he came on for the last 20 or 30 minutes against us, despite the 3 dives.

He looked the biggest threat when he come on against us, different level to his team mates

Some belting comments about the boy on here tonight ! Bang average, shite up to and during scoring his goal and playing well against QPR is no good as an audition for City (though I suppose its better than playing shite against them )

I don't know if he'll make it right to the top ... so much depends on mentality and desire as well as staying healthy but he clearly posseses a combination of technical and athletic talent, that you won't often see in a player at such a formative stage of his career.

Does anybody know any recipes for undies?

A bold statement. ........

Hes already ours.

Didn't you make a twitter bet, because you're hardcore, with someone that he would be signed during last summer's window and based it solely off TH's posts on here?

Seems legit. Can he play Saturday then?
