no one coming through our academy in the middle of the park has his talent. if he goes to another big english club we'd regret it for the next ten years

I agree ... for me we should be doing everything within our power to ensure when Barkley moves he comes to City. We seem to have pretty good relations with Everton though, and I suspect Txiki knows Martinez well enough to at least have a strong inside track on what Everton want and what the player wants.
I still think it's super weird that he's going to the world cup having not signed a new contract and still being paid 15k a week.

i'd give him another year there personally , games week in week out. The way he shifts with the ball makes him stand out from every english player that has come through in the last 10/15 years. has got absolutely everything in his locker.

I wonder if we have tried to get first dibs on him when we were loaning them barry? Better to let him develop in his normal environment for another year or two and then come to us with more premier league experience.

I would, but he's not ready for our first team yet, needs a year on loan.
Disagree buy him and play him we have enough quality within the team and if we dont win anything next season but finish top 3 then i would not be too unhappy
To be honest i though and still to a little extent that he will struggle in our first team BUT let him play a decent amount of games and i can see him progressing quickly, but i just dont see the point of spending 50M + on a player and then punt him out on loan - sell Yaya use the money for this lad if we dont Chelski or the Rags will at some point in the next 12 months
The benefits of landing a player like are only positive
I thought you were Muslim?? I must be mistaken because you were obviously pissed when you wrote that!!! (:

Personally I think he's ready to play in our team. Totally understand why people are unsure at the prices being quoted, however for me it's mouth watering what a manager like Pellegrini could do with a player like Barkley. He made Isco the player that he was when he left Malaga.
It also concerns me greatly that both Chelsea and United could move for him this summer rationalising that our FFP restrictions put him out of our league for the moment. As I say though I retain some hope that Txiki and Martinez could be in cahoots to move him to City. Especially if City are eyeing up Martinez for after Pellegrini sees out his contract.

What do you reckon it would cost to get this player 35 -45m something like that. As good as he is and as good as potential he might be I cannot see City stumping up that much this summer with our budget limited.
