Better than Gomes, Delph, Davies. Would have to take a pay cut or Chelsea subsidise/pay him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m aware of that piece, I’m thinking of wages… must be on near £150k a week. I wouldn’t go more than £60k and make the rest performance related to take him up to a max of £100k. The other slack needs picking up by Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be the same sort of atmosphere getting created that our last manager brought. Obviously not on such a big scale but you're going to divide the fanbase with this one again. You'll have fans booing him when his name is read out before a game, fans booing him while he's actually playing. No, whatever my feelings about him as a player and what he did when he left, I think this would be a terrible move to make.

A lot of time had passed though, and he had gone some way to fixing it by apologising etc. Barkley has done none of that. I just don't see it being a good move in any way.

Bill Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Not for me. We already have Gray who is forever running down blind alleys, a fair amount of skill but nothing in the head to make use of it, so we don't need another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know enough people close to his Dad back then from the boxing scene who’ve always said the same, he didn’t want to leave. He was put in the same boat as Gary Speed, throw them under the bus to save someone else’s skin. Rooney all but admitted on Tony Bellews podcast he never wanted to leave and being in tears about it. We all know Kenwright had to sell him because the bank wanted their money back. barryj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I wouldn't call him an extra quality midfielder but he is definitely better than we have! I'm a bit worried that most of the serious rumours have a Chelsea / Wolves link. Do we even have scouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty much at that point too even though I don’t want him back. It’s clear and obvious we need something(anything) to help the midfield. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
