Ross Barkley

Not sure how injury prone he actually is, but he's probably being overplayed as well for a lad of his age.
 
He's a class act.

I enjoy watching him play, even if it if for the bitters. The upside is they will struggle. There's nobody in their squad which can produce a moment of magic aside of Meireles, and they don't seem too keen to play him.

Meireles =/= Mirallas
 
I'm hoping he comes back, has one of those miracle injury free seasons, gets everton finishing one place below us almost singlehandedly, goes to Utd for 110m & is out for the majority of every season after that through injury.

Meanwhile, the 110m is used to build a new theatre in Liverpool & kenwright is railroaded out of the club by the fans. The new owner, a businessman from papa new Guinea, is quickly found out to be a transsexual conman, only after changing the club's colours to pink & yellow & the crest to Disney style cinderalla tower.
 
I might be in a minority of one here, but I actually do get slightly peeved when great players like Barkley, Van Persie, Aguero, etc get injured and are out for ages. Don't you want to watch great players all the time? Well, I do. I watch every single game I can, and if I'm watching Everton I'd much prefer to sit there and look at how Barkley plays the game than Steven fuckin Naismith.

Same goes for United; fuck watching Hernandez running around doing zip fuck all. Van Persie's one of the great forwards of our time - I want to watch him.

And same again goes for wishing injury on other players too as if it somehow advantages us. Back in the day, (look away now Britishers) Down were playing Tyrone and Peter Canavan was apparently going to be ruled out injured - which I let my Dad know as this'd be great for us desperate Down folk. My wise oul man said "you should want him to play, you should always want to beat a team when they're at their best - gives you zero excuses."

I like that. Fuck hoping for excuses, be good enough yourselves.

Now throw all the tomatoes at me you like.
 
It's a nice sentiment and one I'd probably share if we were winning things regularly but right now we need all the help we can get and being glad teams are without their best players is not beneath me.
 
Young players can have runs of injuries before hardening up. Barkley may be the same. Unfortunately.

I like the sentiment, but surely Everton and Utd are the exceptions, not to mention your main example is a complete prick in RVP.

I'm all for beating teams at their best but at the end of your career nobody looks back and asks if everyone was fit against you.

They look at who won what trophies and after last year I hope every single team loses their best players and right before they play us.

Do you think Germans are sitting at home thinking, "ah shit, this world cup is a bit tarnished because Ageuro was not match fit and Di Maria was out??

From the guy who idolises Mourinho.
 
While Everton seem good these days at coaching young players, one wonders about the input of their nutritionists. Like the young Rooney, Barkley looks like he's grown up eating nothing but steaks and crispy pancakes. Such a promising talent, though.
 
There is talent in Barkley, no doubt.
He needs to take the next step though, and I am not talking on his dietary plan to move from crispy pancakes and orange soda to fried rice with gatoradwe, because what I see now is too much of the Barosesque head-down, trying to do it all ball hogging.

You'd like to feel him up, wouldn't you?
