Dodgyknees Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, Villastine said: Being linked with United in the Sun according to the BBC Gossip column. Fair play to him for turning it around. I'll always have fond memories of him due to 7-2 hammering of Liverpool. His goal against Leicester to win it was a cracker too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) He could have had a very decent career with us if he didn't just give up halfway through the loan. At least he seems to have learnt and knuckled down but how long it'll last is anybody's guess. Edited February 25 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Bailey, there are very fine margins to players being able to perform to the top of their game or struggle. It's those who can consistently do this even with injuries etc which make them truly elite players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holteend1982 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I'd be happy enough having him back on a free, seems to have played a bit of a deeper role at Luton and always looked decent when I watched him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 No thanks. He's the type of player who looks good when he's surrounded by a team of championship players. Also far too injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Sounds like there is interest in bringing him back. in fairness, Emery has tuned some of our players into top 4 quality, be interesting to see what he could do with Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Wouldn't be adverse to it. The squad needs strengthening and he has the ability to make things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 If it's as simple as say Chambers out - Barkley in, then it doesn't sound too bad. He needs to be playing regularly though to get the best out of him, not sure he would get that with us. Feels a bit like the Tielemans signing, and look how that's worked out...

rodders0223 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Very questionable bringing him back but tbf Emery did wonders for Tielemans. You'd think one year deal heavily incentive based if so, because lads like Ross always seem to turn on when they have to fight for a new deal and then when they get a bit of stability it's gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 We’d be foolish not to consider him on a free, I don’t see him commanding a huge wage either….5 goals and 4 assists in a very poor luton team, a more mature, 30 year old Ross Barkley too and Emery who can take him to a new level… also at times this year we have missed having a midfielder who can drive forward, so next season he can play in tandem with or in place of Ramsey/rogers Good chance we see him back here imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
