Saw the Barkley vs Kroos debate earlier today I think it was.
Kroos is a world class midfielder, but I have to agree with you Barkley is just outstanding as well. So much talent, great physical attributes and seems to have the matching work ethic.
Barkley would be a fantastic pick up if it ever came to pass.

Agree0 Disagree0

Imagin him and Shaw, purchases for the next 10+ years, home grown and to go with our other under 24's puts us in a fantastic financial position.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just an observation Luke Shaw is much better left midfielder than left back.

I am sure people which decided to sell Sturridge are biting their balls right now.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We've got Patrick Bamford

Agree0 Disagree0

He sure seems to have adapted very well to the Championship at Derby. Interesting to see if he'll be able to keep it up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sturridge wanted to go

Agree0 Disagree0

He wasn't given adequate opportunity to play as striker, probably you would leave as well if you were in his shoes. It's a mistake made by former managers and people who decided to let him go.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sturridge would not have got in the team. Reason being is it is all about Daniel Sturridge and jose wants team players, He is not a team player, what he did to Suarez last night where he didn't lay him in for a tap in. Was what he did to Torres god knows how many times.
He will show his true colours and then you will be glad we sold him.

Agree0 Disagree0

The club didn't doubt that Daniel Sturridge had an abundance of footballing ability.

His poor attitude is the reason he is no longer at the club. A poor attitude he is showing at Liverpool still.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just a quick striker question for fellow posters and Eds.
Ba en Eto'o will probably leave during the summer. I'd imagine Torres will stay and I'm assuming Lukaku will come back.
Realistically, which striker, who would be a significant upgrade over Lukaku and Torres, could be available without having to pay over the top?
I'm one of those who aren't completely sold on Costa and I can't really think of a great option to bring in.
I was thinking of perhaps trying to go for Reus and playing him in a striker role. I'll admit I've got no clue if he's capable of playing as a striker but it was a thought that crossed my mind.

I've heard eto'o will be leaving at the end of the season to Real Mallorca? Is this true Eds? Thanks!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - His contract is up at the end of the season and he can leave. e wants to end his career at Real Mallorca.}

If that happens, do you know any strikers we could bring in as a replacement?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The summer is a long way off. Let's get through January first.}

28 Jan 2014 14:09:18
What the Plan with Torres? surely we can't stick with a striker that isn't scoring?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - He won't be leaving this month.}

In all honesty, I think we HAVE to keep Torres. I don't expect Ba and Eto'o to score 15-20 goals from now to May.

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone's always raving on here about costa l. Does it cross anyone's mind that he might be a one season wonder? He hasn't scored in 4 games and I've watched all of the, and believe me he isn't all that. If Mandzukic or Cavani were available I would much rather them.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well, if you insist Rooney&Suarez would fit much better.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes I do insist!

Rooney is In talks over a new contract so it's unlikely.

Don't want Suarez either he would bring the club a bad image as much as a great player as he is

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree mate, people seem to forget that costa has been regular ft few seasons now and has only been outstanding for 6 months or so. I haven't seen him but do like to read up and see what fuss is about, Graeme hunter Spanish journo on sky was saying he is built for prem league thou and would be better suited than la liga. But cavani would be my choice. Or with FFP lukaku as number one and another fairly prolific stiker for reasonable fee and then a youth player promoted,

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, I've been sarcastic. But Rooney&Suarez would really fit in tika taka attempt to look like Barcelona. Although I don't think that it will be JM way how to play in future. He prefers more physical football. Anyway we are to far away getting players that you have mentioned as we are far away from R&S.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 is Toni Kroos was available in the summer would Chelsea be interested?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I cannot be expected to answer about the summer during the January window.}

Zouma
Shaw
Costa
And the lads back off loan lukaku piazon courtios sign barkley in summer job done team complete in my eyes

Cant wait to see some of the other talent we have got aswell, atsu wallace boga loftus etc futures bright

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I personally don't get the Costa hype.

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fare pal am not 100% but to me that's what's out there realistic to what we can get

Agree0 Disagree0

I echo your thoughts 100% nibbyblue

Agree0 Disagree0

If he has a £35m release clause then there's lots of comparable strikers our there for that price.

We have Lukaku I would prefer a ying and yang, a small quick tricky striker who is a poacher, like Rodrigo of Benfica or Hernandez of Utd for example.
I would assume £15m would buy either of them, just me though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, you probably don't want to confirm anything but there are so many of the same, false, rejected rumours I don't know what to believe. can you verify anyone we are actually close and interested in signing?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I really don't want to get in to any subjective terms like "close".}
